Title: IF interpreter
Post by: erico on 2012-Jan-12
I came across this interpreter here a few days ago, thanks to them porting it to caanoo:

http://instead.syscall.ru/
http://code.google.com/p/instead/

Second link to the google code part, it has english docs there as everything else is russian.
I advise those who are experimenting with it to give it a go and play Return of the Quantum Cat.

It´s great! I have been playing a bit of it these days before bed, really oldschool stuff.

As for the engine itself, I haven´t tried yet, but by the feel of quantum cat, this is competent as a hyper text IF with some image abilities.

Its ports for different machines is also great.

A game on the style of quantum cat interests me most, It dosen´t feel hard to code it in GLBasic.

Never played Return of the Quantum Cat. Might give it a go if I get curious. Last game I played on an IF interpreter was an old Infocom game called Moonmist. Was awesome.

I think I need at least some picture to really delve into the if, I´m a fan of the color adventures on coco 2 for that reason.
