Web Interactive Fiction: FyreVM on the Desktop

Web Interactive Fiction: FyreVM on the Desktop

http://ift.tt/2dfzfWI

I’ve started building desktop versions of fyrevm-web. This will be a hybrid of a local app (cross-platform using the new .NET core cross-platform libraries) and an embedded browser window.

The goal is to provide the same usage scenarios that we have with z-machine and glk-based interpreters, though the actual interpreters will be very different. The stories themselves will be HTML-based and support varied user interfaces. The interpreter will still support saves and restores, transcripts, and user-selected CSS files (to alter fonts, colors, etc).

The best part is that the bulk of the code is shared between Mac, Linux, and Windows.
