Bash script emulating an interactive fiction interpreter for a talk. I wrote this script in about two hours because I figured it would be faster for me to do this than to learn Inform or some other system. It's not a good parser.
The script iftalk (which must be executable) pretends to be an interactive fiction interpreter, when it is really a simple demonstration of IF-like behavior wrapped around some slides, a video, and an opportunity to demostrate / play Zork with the audience.
You'll need ZORK1.DAT and jzip (not included). The video demonstrating Text Fiction on Android is online and linked and played using totem (although it can be pre-downloaded if desired -- see source for URL). You can easily tweak the script to play a different game and use a different video player, if desired.
Code released under the GPLv3 (or later) and video released under CC.
