Hintweaver is a system for creating interactive hint documents for games, especially adventure games.
The core idea here is that a person searches for the topic they are interested in, some aspect or puzzle of the game they are stuck on, and will not be exposed to any other details of the game which they haven’t encountered yet (“spoilers”).
It can create both HTML pages (which need some Javascript and CSS files, which are available in the source and binary packages), and also a Z-code story file which can be played in any Z-machine interpreter.
I am personally working on some hints for the original Zork trilogy, and I will talk about that in another thread.
