| qtads | Qt text-only interpreter for TADS | Mehr ... |
This package provides an interpreter for TADS game files, using a
Qt interface. It can run either TADS 2 games (which have an
extension of .gam) or TADS 3 games (which have an extension of .t3).
See http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXtads.html for a
large collection of available TADS games.
.
This interpreter only supports text output. Games using HTML-TADS
multimedia features will still work, but you won't see graphics or
hear sounds. Other features include:
* Full Unicode support for TADS 3 and HTML TADS games.
* Full text justification.
* Support for multiple user configurations, which you can switch
between at runtime.
.
TADS, the Text Adventure Development System, is a system for writing
and playing interactive fiction games. This means that the primary
method for interacting with the game is to type in commands, to which
the game produces a response in prose -- similar to Infocom's games
from the 1980's. |
