Re: [Audyssey] writing a text adventure
Hi. You could use adrift from www.adrift.org.uk. Version 3.9 is free, and 4.0 is not, but 4.0 is well worth it. I'm currently writing the two games I'm working on using Adrift and it's super speech friendly and you don't need to know programming. I don't like the way it handles some things by default, so I'm doing some pretty fancy stuff to make my game work better. ari said the following on 3/2/2008 3:17 AM: > Hi all, > I remember asking this ages ago, and someone suggested that, without any > knowledge of programming, you could use inform to write a text adventure, > but that it wasn't too great for screen readers.

Re: [Audyssey] writing a text adventure
Hello, Indeed, blind programming has changed a lot. I don't think so you would find any good IF-related article, or anything regarding IF on it though. There is an IF demo, called Cloak. It's like the Hello world in programming, a very basic story with 3 rooms, 2 objects and a simple puzzle to solve. On jacl.sf.net you can find the implementation in JACL format, and also you will find other implementations, like in hugo, alan, inform 6 and 7, tads, etc. You can check it out and see which IF authoring system is good for you.

Re: [Audyssey] writing a text adventure
Hello Ari et all, Inform 7, at least with jfw, is mostly accessible. It has two windows, the "coding" area where you actually enter your story mostly in full english sentences, and the second window is the viewer, where the program displays it's messages like compile status, errors, help pages, examples, etc. Features like the built in inform interpreter, skein, keywords list are not accessible, but to write your code, to compile and see the errors it's perfect. You can test your story with an external interpreter, like Zoom for the mac, frotz, etc. Inform 7 has an excellent help system, with many many examples and because the mode you're writing your stories is almost like natural english, it is extremely easy to learn and use. It's portable, there are interpreters for windows, linux, mac, even for pacmates. I've tried lots of if authoring systems which are programming-based, but since almost every one uses a c-syntax, i did not like them. There is one however, called JACL, which is extremely easy to learn if you have basic programming skills (no matter in which language). It is not that popular, in fact, the author told me i am the only person using it at the moment, but i hope that will change soon. It runs on linux, can run on windows under cygwin, and probably on the mac too. I say, if you want to write stories easily and you don't know how to program, go for inform. If you do know, go for JACL, it's much easier than tads, inform 6 or others. You can download the Inform 7 environment at: http://www.inform-fiction.org and you can get JACL at: http://jacl.sf.net Rob - Original Message - Subject: [Audyssey] writing a text adventure Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 10:17:11 +0200 From: "ari" Hi all, I remember asking this ages ago, and someone suggested that, without any knowledge of programming, you could use inform to write a text adventure, but that it wasn't too great for screen readers. What I want to know is, even using programming, what's the most accessible package to write text adventures in, and what's the difference between them. If you also don't know programming, isn't there maybe an quickstart guide somewhere for a text adventure writer?
