MAGE 0.1.0 release
==================
The first ever public release of MAGE, 0.1.0, is available at
http://mage.rulez.org.
What is MAGE?
- -------------
The name MAGE comes from MAGE Adventure Game Engine, in the fashion of
GNUish recursive acronyms. As the name suggests, its goal is to
provide a complete open source system for authoring and playing
interactive fiction games. Due to its modular design, the front-end
can be easily changed, thus allowing the creation of text-based user
interfaces, while still supporting graphical clients (e.g. using the X
Windowing System).
Technical issues
- ----------------
MAGE is being developed under Linux, and although we haven't yet had the
opportunity to try it out on different systems, it should compile on
every system that has a C++ compiler (with STL support) and to which
Python is ported. Of course can the various user interfaces have other
requirements. As you have probably figured it out yet, the program is
written in C++.
About this version
- ------------------
MAGE 0.1.0 is the first public release of MAGE. It is most definitely
not complete, and is sure buggy. This release is NOT intended for
end-users. End-users should wait until at least 0.9, then descover all
the bugs, report them, and hope they will be corrected in 1.0.
This version is intended to those who would be interested in this
project, either as contributers, or as story authors.
NOTE to story authors: be careful not to write lots of code until 0.9,
because we might suddenly change everything one minute. Since no doc's
are available, this shouldn't be a problem <g>
