  • Fabularium - multi-format GLK IF interpreter for Android

    From tcowperapps@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 20 02:17:09 2018
    Hi all

    I've recently released an Android GLK implementation, bundled together with terps for all the major IF formats, a la Gargoyle.

    The app is called "Fabularium" and you should be able to find it in the Google play store by searching for "fabularium interactive fiction".

    I believe this app is capable of handling pretty much anything you might throw at Gargoyle, along with some extra features (e. g. support for most of TADS HTML / multimedia).

    The app also allows users to create IF on their Android device, via the bundled Inform or TADS 3 compilers, although that feature is not yet as polished.

    I'd welcome (constructive) feedback from any Android users who have the time and inclination to comment. Depending on how much feedback / uptake the app gets in future versions I'll polish any rough edges and look at some additional features to make it
    more user-friendly.

    Cheers

    Tim

    I LOVE this app! You did a fantastic job. My older boys and I use it almost everyday. Please keep up the great work.

    I will have to look into this a bit further. I downloaded it, but right now I am at work and the adding of game files is not turning out to be as easy as I would expect.
