Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but there's a discord bot that lets you play various oldschool and more modern text adventures: http://xyzzy.roadcrosser.xyz Kinda nice for co-opping these things. Very close to beating Zork! EDIT: See a few posts down about saving games and some special commands. jasoneatspizza fucked around with this message at 14:56 on May 18, 2018 |

What's the easiest way to go about making a standalone text adventure with a parser? Like let's say I wanted to use Inform to make a game that's playable on Android. You'd need some interpreter app to play the game file. How would I go about making a standalone version (which I guess would have its own interpreter built in)?

Just a note about saving if anyone uses that discord bot I mentioned. I remember it used to keep saves with the bot, but that seems to be broken now. You can still save though. After you quit out of a game normally (>quit; >y), the bot will give you your last save to download. After you have the save file, restart the game and do >>upload and also attach the game file at the same time you do the upload command. Then do a >restore, then type the name of the save you uploaded INCLUDING the .qzl extension. Thought I'd mention this since it wasn't apparent to me how this worked at first. Also if a game requires you to hit spacebar for any reason, you can use >SPACE. And >q will back out of any special menus.
