TADS 3.1 just released. Up to now TADS was a development framework for single-player interactive fiction, but with the new release it got HTTP built in. Along with the IFDB it's now a pretty killer environment for making text games played in the browser (with all the browser UI chrome you want to throw on top). It's a very flexible OO language with a great text game oriented library attached. Worth checking out.

It looks like a fun kind of system to use, but I have one minor gripe… What does the acronym "TADS" stand for? Can't find it on any of a dozen pages I pawed through on their site…

Lol. I couldn't find that either, but I took a wild guess with Text Adventure Development System.

O u guise.

It's in the title of the main page. Google "TADS text" and you'll see it.

Or open up "Intro to HTML TADS" and you'll see it in the intro/overview section.

And bonus points to Runter: he's right. :smile:

If you're going to use initials you should first think of the awesome word you want to spell…then think up how it can work with it. You know, like L.U.A. ;) (Yes, I'm trolling DH.)

Well personally I think that Runter usually navigates tough environments risibly.

DH - You are the first person I have seen use the word risibly in a sentence.

Well, that certainly has rare interesting significance because all instances leave everyone yawning.

I think David answers vainly in detail hesitantly after lecturing every youth on mudbytes.

I'm not sure it counts to reuse the same subphrase!

And you gotta watch out for those youths…

Runter usually neglects to exclude recursion.

(Well played, sir)

So sad, oh lord; very awful, ridiculous acronyms interrupt novelty.

I'll be honest. If you all are using deliberately different sentence structure, I missed the joke.


NM: I just got it. :P
