Updated: the 2017 Interactive Fiction Competition

Hi all

I thought you guys might be interested in this:

The 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition

Most games are playable online, but some of them require an interpreter like Z-code, Glulx, Alan or TADS.  

Cheers, Magic Sam

Very nice, I'll have to check some of these out.

Out of interest, does anyone know which games we can run on our Pandoras?  I assume z-code can be played in either Gargoyle or Frotz (with a patch), but I don't know about other formats.  The windows executables not easily, but that's no great surprise.  Gargoyle upstream seems to support ALAN and TADS but I don't know if our port covers all those.  I guess I shall have to experiment!

Gargoyle does ALAN, TADS, Inform (Z-code and Glulx or whatever the new one is called) and a bunch of others, I think. Gargoyle is the good stuff

Let me know if I need to refresh Gargoyle.. its a few years old, that port on the repo.

I still follow IF ... one of these days I need to track down all the classic Infocom (original boxes with feelies), but they're so pricey/collectible nowadays

Hi all !

@kuru : speaking of Anchorhead

The recommended interpreter for Cragne Manor is Lectrote:

https://github.com/erkyrath/lectrote

Lectrote is an Electron application, which would certainly be too demanding for the Pandora ( @ptitSeb : feel free to chime in if I'm telling BS once again )

I'd rather have a look at Glulx:

[doublepost=1544361025,1544354984][/doublepost]Hi again !

I just built Glulxe (glkterm version) on the Pandora with @ptitSeb 's Code::Blocks

I still need to run some tests to make sure that Cragne Manor runs well with that engine, and I'll upload a package to the Repo ASAP if it does !

Cheers, Magic Sam
