Subject: [gamebooks] gamebook.js update: FotW now fully implemented

Hi all,
Just a note to announce that I have finished the implementation of
FotW for my gamebook.js engine, which is now fully complete and
playable (I took great care in coding the rules as faithfully and
precisely as I could).
To recap briefly: the idea of gamebook.js is to offer an IF-like
interface where you freely type commands, instead of explicitly
picking choices.
I wrote a longer description on my blog:
http://cjauvin.blogspot.ca/2013/03/suspension-of-parser-disbelief.html
but in a nutshell, here are the interesting new features:
* Contextual word autocompletion (effectively providing hints, which
can be turned off)
* Use of a word stemmer for greater lexical flexibility
* Action Chart and item management coherently integrated in the
textual interface
* Semi-automatic content extraction, where a script first processes
the raw PA XML as best as it can..
* ..then weaves it with a meticulously curated and customized
"override" content file
* Many mechanisms to limit tedious guesswork (choice trimming based on
requirements, etc)
* Save/load
If you'd like to try it:
http://projectaon.org/staff/christian/gamebook.js
but please be sure to reload if you ever tried the previous prototype
(in the 3rd intro paragraph, the version should no longer be
"incomplete and experimental".. just "experimental"!).
I sincerely hope it can be of interest to some of you,
Christian
