mea culpa,
to install tads (3) type
sudo apt-get install tads-3
this will give you the tads3 system which should be backwards compatible with
tads2 games.
two example games to try are ditch day drifter (http://www.wurb.com/if/game/65)
and return to ditch day (http://www.wurb.com/if/game/2357). ditchday is a
tads2 game and return to ditch day is in tads3; the adresses are for Baffs
guide. From the two adreses download ditch.zip and return-to-ditchdy.zip
somewhere on your machine.
playing the games:
first uncompress the zip archieves.
unzip return-to-ditchday.zip
You should now find a file called ditch3.t3. All tads3 story files are given
the extention .t3. to play this game type:
t3run ditch3.t3
to get a list of available options type:;
t3run --help
You can do a similar process for the t2 ditchday story file.
unzip ditch.zip
t2 games are given the extention .gam. The command should be someting like:
t3run -t2 ditch.gam
If this doesn't work, give me a day or two to figure out tads-2 on linux. The
commands are different they they were in Windows.
