[ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

Hi all.

I just ported gargoyle (http://ccxvii.net/gargoyle/), a very cool player for interactive fiction. (i.e. text adventure games.)

Gargoyle supports every IF game format under the sun and has really nice typography.

Tested on the N900.

You can get it at extras-devel. (See http://maemo.org/packages/view/gargoyle/ for a .deb file.)

Keywords for google: infocom z-machine, glulx, tads, zork. :)

Thanks for that. I've not come across Gargoyle before, but the screenshots look good.

By the way, you can add these kinds of things to the "tags" at the bottom of the page.

hi,

thanks for building the package. its nice to have a real client on a mobile device special made for playing interactive fiction ;o)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

uh, but its not running

Nokia-N900-42-11:/media/mmc1/dl# gargoyle /media/mmc1/stuff/z-code/anchor.z8
-sh: gargoyle: not found

same output with and without the gamefile behind.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

That is a strange error message.

Could you please run this command:

and show me the output? I will try to fix it ASAP. Thanks.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

Actually, I think I see the problem.
The current package depends on /bin/bash. Will fix it tomorrow, sorry about that. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

Just updated it. Should be fixed now.

How can I enable cyrillic support?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

Cyrillic should work out of the box, if it works at all.

What file are you trying to play?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Gargoyle: an advanced interactive fiction player
 

I tried to open different files
f.e. when I open Alicer http://ifwiki.ru/files/Alicer.zip
typing in terminal
gargoyle MyDocs/Games/if/Alicer.z5
I see this screen
