Next

  • Versions 4+ (Goal: Run Photopia)
  • The ability to download and list stories from a repository.

Overall Goals

There are several goals:

  • Emulate the Z-Machine accurately for all versions (text-only first)
  • Provide detailed information to IF designers and programmers
  • Make it easy to pull down and play new and old IF and text adventure games
