My own IF game engine in Java.

Hey, so in a couple of my breaks at University I started writing my own IF game engine in Java.
I haven’t given much thought to the game’s name at the moment so I’ve just called it Myth.

It’s pretty simple right now, only running in the console (in this case window’s command prompt)
but later if I want to get fancy I’ll do a GUI for it.

Currently it supports string and integer input, command/input parsing, multiple rooms, a world
containing the rooms and a user object.

My next goals are commands for moving the user through rooms, a user inventory and in game
objects.

Thanks for letting me share this with you.

You can take a look at the fully functional Aetheria Game Engine, for inspiration if nothing else. It’s Java too, under BSD license.

I’m sure Al-Khwarizmi (the author) is open to colaborations, from english-speaking people in particular. He’s very nice to work with, by the way.
