X-IF is a portable & object-oriented interactive fiction engine/transpiler.

It is a WIP, and useless right now! Come back later, OK? ~♥

|
... now, the rest of this file's just filled with lies.

The engine can be used to make classic Infocom-esque text-adventures that run
|
|
|
|
|
in a terminal (with readline support), or to make IF with simple images and
|
|
|
|
|
sound (with GTK or terminal; the latter via libsixel or manual ASCII art).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It supports, as input, either text-entry (and parsing), like classic games—
|
|
|
|
|
or it supports visual novel-esque branching dialogue/option selection, without
|
|
|
|
|
text-entry entirely. Games can use one method, or intermix both.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The transpiler lets you turn a game written in X-IF into a website or PDF with
|
|
|
|
|
branching paths— so a game written in X-IF can effectively be made into a
|
|
|
|
|
Choose-Your-Adventure-esque book!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The transpiler is probably best used for branching dialogue games, rather than
|
|
|
|
|
text-entry games, though it can be used for both.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X-IF is multi-lingual and modular; right now, it can parse simple English and
|
|
|
|
|
Esperanto sentences. Adding other languages should be trivial, and any contribs
|
|
|
|
|
are welcome! <3
