Bug#213964: ITP: qtads -- Qt TADS interpreter



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : qtads
  Version         : 1.3a
  Upstream Author : Nikos Chantziaras <realnc@users.sourceforge.net>
* URL or Web page : http://qtads.sourceforge.net/
* License         : GPL
  Description     : Qt text-only interpreter for TADS
 This package provides an interpreter for TADS game files, using a
 Qt interface.  It can run either TADS 2 games (which have an
 extension of .gam) or TADS 3 games (which have an extension of .t3).
 See http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXtads.html for a
 large collection of available TADS games.
 .
 This interpreter only supports text output.  Games using HTML-TADS
 multimedia features will still work, but you won't see graphics or
 hear sounds.  Other features include:
   * Full Unicode support for TADS 3 and HTML TADS games.
   * Full text justification.
   * Support for multiple user configurations, which you can switch
     between at runtime.
 .
 TADS, the Text Adventure Development System, is a system for writing
 and playing interactive fiction games.  This means that the primary
 method for interacting with the game is to type in commands and read
 the game's responses -- similar to Infocom's games from the 1980's.
