JFrotz can be used to play Z-Machine compatible interactive fiction games, e.g., the stories created by Infocom (Zork, Enchanter, etc.) and modern stories created by the Inform compiler.



*** You will need a Story File to use JFrotz ****

A search for interactive fiction will result in a huge list. Many story files can be found on the Interactive Fiction Archive - http://www.ifarchive.org/



JFrotz supports Z-Machine compatible story files.



Story files must be saved to the device's file system, e.g., the sdcard, to be used. JFrotz does not (yet) come with any installed story files.



*** This is an initial version of the software ***

Version 0.2.4 is an initial version of the software. It has some known issues and an unpolished user interface.



What Works:

JFrotz should support most of what the unix/linux version of frotz supports, e.g.:

* 1.0 Z-machine standard compliant, with the exception of scripting.

* Save/Restore in standard Quetzal Format. This allows games to be saved on your device and restored on a different computer, which works nicely with Dropbox.

* Settable rows for backscroll.

* Improved soft keyboard support, including autocomplete

* font support for accented characters

* Note: The "Fit Height" mode for the number of rows is optimized for use with either a hardware keyboard or the built-in ZBoard. It does not play well with the soft keyboard, which constantly changes the height available to JFrotz. For soft keyboard use, please choose a fixed number of rows, which will provide a backscroll.



What is currently being worked on (Expect updates at a high rate):

* Support for copy text

* Editable Command history

* Macro capability

* Story Library (in addition to basic file access)

* File playback

* Frotz hotkey functionality

* Scripting



JFrotz is currently available for both Android and J2ME devices.



JFrotz is completely free and open source (GPL v3) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfrotz - I am very open to suggestions and offers of help (support@lafayettestreetsolutions.com).
