About Thunderword Android Game

SYNOPSIS: Thunderword - An interpreter for interactive fiction stories. language puzzles, scavenger hunts, and novels. Built around Andrew Plotkin's RemGlk library and popular interactive fiction interpreters compiled in native C code. Thunderword has API channels to allow other apps to load stories, share JSON data (RemGlk structure) and encourages experiments with user interface designs and app to app integration.

In these early months of release, a Bluetooth or USB hard keyboard is suggested and a screen size of 7 inches or larger. Considerable labor is still needed to make Thunderword usable on 4" and 5" screens due to the text-entry of parser interactive fiction stories. Developer suggestions are welcome.

Interactive Fiction engine for Z-machine, Glulx and other Glk stories. Git and Glulxe interpreter engines are included, as are Z-code interpreters (Bocfel. Frotz, Nitfol) and others (Scott, TADS, Level9, Hugo, Magnetic Scrolls, Alan 2, Alan 3 beta 2). JSON can be exchanged with other Android apps for both input and output via RemGlk protocol. This includes Thunderword being headless, where secondary apps can have complete control over screen and keyboard layout and presentation.

Thunderworld is made and distributed by WakeReality.com
