#text-adventure — Public Fediverse posts

After much work and testing I've FINALLY got the text-based adventure I wrote for #EMFCamp online!

https://www.namesley.com

You are Name Namesley, an undercover agent posing as a software developer at the world's softest bank. But where is that mysterious honking noise coming from?!

You can play in-browser or in your terminal: telnet game.namesley.com.

Enjoy! #EMF2026 #EMF26 #TextAdventure

Zaitoon v1.0.0 is out. 🎉 A full toolchain for building text adventures from scratch — compiler, native C runtime, and a browser player, all talking to each other through one save format. Been building this for months and it finally feels solid enough to call stable. Try it, break it, tell me what's missing.

playing half-life 1 again for the first time in a couple decades makes me realize how much i would have loved HL the text adventure, in the style of planetfall: puzzle and exploration-focused, with occasional action scenes

If I could convert an #epub to an #infocom "game" file, then that #ebook could be read on any device with a #frotz interpreter... with the ability to save your place by... saving... just like you would in a #textAdventure

If you like text adventure games, this is a fascinating video. Playthrough of Secrets of the Pyramid of Light, with a lot of fun extra details, and then how to patch the game's bugs:

Recently I started a new hobby project, this time is a text adventurein #basic for #c64 I recently bought a #c64u machine, and I realized that when I was a kid I never learnt how to program it, it's time to fill this gap!
It's more a personal experiment, so don't expect big things from it, but if you are curious, the source code is on #codeberg

And below a screenshot.

Back to #Infocom #TextAdventure land, or more accurately Graphics adventures. I've been working with Stefan Vogt @8bitgames to support his latest and most ambitious project yet - Arcturus. The idea is that with a single set of image files that work with your adventure game, you can convert the images and generated #zmachine game to run on a range of #8bit #retrocomputing systems (and modern systems) that support the new custom extension.

Under the code name #Canopus, I have been working with him I have been able to integrate new image display code into the interpreter, granting the #TRS80 Model 4 (or 4P) with a hi-res card an immersive adventure experience previously unavailable on this platform. The current codebase requires 128k of RAM, which may be reduced once this implementation has settled. The code is also designed to work with either the #Tandy or the Microlabs graphics card.

It's a work in progress, so here's some screenshots on the trs80gp emulator to give an idea. Future #retrogaming with a #z80
