GlkOte: a Javascript library for IF interfaces

GlkOte is a tool for creating interactive fiction -- and other text-based applications -- on a web page. It is a Javascript library which handles the mechanics of displaying text, arranging panes of text, and accepting text input from the user.

GlkOte is open-source software.

GlkOte has been tested on Safari 3, Firefox 2 and 3, MSIE 6 and 7, and Opera 9.5.

Try out a demonstration of a GlkOte IF application. It is not a full-fledged IF game; it has only a trivial one-word parser. However, it demonstrates all the I/O capabilities of a typical IF game.
