Hi, this is the fifth of my seven sponsoring requests for packages related to Interactive Fiction and the Glk library specification. I'm posting them separately for clarity and CCing the corresponding ITP for each package. Apologies for the number of emails. Any comments on the packages are welcome.
Glk is a cross-platform, portable user interface library specification. It can handle simple graphics but does best at text, which can contain formatting and hyper-links. It is targeted primarily for interactive fiction (text adventure) systems. The packages more or less depend on one another. See the end of this mail for a crude dependency graph. All of the packages use cdbs and libtool, and most use automake as well. Name: glulxe ITP: #338476 Download: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/glulxe/ Description: an adventure game interpreter Glulxe is an interpreter for the Glulx virtual machine designed for playing interactive fiction (adventure games), similar to the Infocom's Z-machine standard. It uses the Glk library for I/O and is thus highly portable and will run on both X and a terminal. .
