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

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

In the first 5% of "A Canticle For Liebowitz," and I can't help thinking this would make a great #textAdventure

Adapter Pirate Adventure sur Commodore 16 en 1984 était un sacré défi d'ingénierie sous contrainte. La machine ne laissait que ~12 Ko de RAM libre sous le BASIC.
Pour faire tenir l'aventure, Commodore utilisait le format cartouche ROM (sur le port 50 broches), déléguant le code du moteur au bus de données et gardant la RAM uniquement pour l'arbre d'état des objets du jeu.

As-tu déjà joué à ces jeux textuels ?

Text adventure: Update for The City of Gold - Part 1

Per Holmström (Grottkräl) has released "The City of Gold – Part 1", a text-based CRPG adventure for the Amiga, which combines elements of a computer role-playing game (cRPG) and a classic text adventure. This latest update has fixed a bug in the code which meant that no one was able to complete the game.

one day, i would love to set up a room of TRS-80's and C64s and have a text adventure party. Is there any interest in new text adventures? are people still writing them?
