Fabularium - Android GLK + TADS HTML IF interpreter

Ok, thanks for confirming, shame. I do agree there is great potential here, so hopefully somebody can take it on.

I thought covers are build into glulxe archives and for the rest types should be downloaded and putting into game dolder manually. If press refresh button you will retrieve glulxe covers automatically.
This is a part of whatever I have installed now. I can do scroll to show more games.

Since tcowper is no longer available, the F-Droid repository packages a fork. That fork only really has licensing changes right now, but it’s slightly less stale than the original repository, and might be a more fruitful nucleation site for maintenance efforts.

There be almost impossible including a simple apk file 0_o
Not everyone knows how android studio works.

I’ve just had a look at the source from F-Droid and, as you say it has minimal changes - looks like a bit of a tidy up. Perhaps I’ll send a message to the owner of this fork.

Jade. Yes, I have these icons on one device, but not the other. I think that they were downloaded when the link was working. It does not seem to be able to get these for me now.

If game is glulxe Fabularium extract the cover game*png and save this cover into gamedata folder. Otherwise you can do it manually. When I try to retrieve metadata cover change fron Fabularium by default to IFdb by default if there is no cover available

I have installed release 1.5.0 and there is the link you have to write down in Settigs / url for downloading metadata.

http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?ifiction&ifid=

For example: Fabularium will look for the metadata for Locked Door III game.

Fabularium works fine but has some issues. Last built (last via ifwiki, playstore is older) is several years old.
