Fashion Quest is an interactive fiction framework being created so we can make a text adventure game about fashion because we love fashion and we love text adventure games.
You need Shoes to use this so download Shoes now to your computer! Games created with the framework define the game using YAML files and bits of Ruby!
The framework is “in progress”. Two test games come with the source. The game “Fashion Quest: Daydream” is very small and mainly for demo purposes. It lives in the “game” directory. The game “Pirate Adventure Knockoff” is a port of the 1978 text adventure “Pirate Adventure” by Scott and Alexis Adams and lives in the “pirate_adventure” directory.
To play either of these use Shoes to run fq.rb and select which you’d like to play.
Text adventure games involve issuing tiny action plans, like:
>go north
Some super rough documentation for game developers is present as DOC_OUTLINE.
If you want fork around, latest version lives at Github.
Thanks to Why the Lucky Stiff for creating Shoes and inspiring the creative use of computers!
Speak now or forever hold your peace:
this game is hard.
That’s what you say.
The framework being created.
I was going to play it but figured I’d get a virus from all this downloading. So I look in the mirror instead.
