Cloak Of Darkness Reviews
Author: Campbell Wild
Date: 1999
ADRIFT 3.8
A demonstration game not written for usual "demo" purposes (to suggest design
and technical abilities of some hypothetical full version) but rather to
indicate to potential game designers differences between umpteen various popular
amateur interactive fiction authoring systems (for those keeping track at home:
A-code, AAS, ADRIFT, AGI, AGT, Aiee!, AIFT, ALAN, CAT, Hugo, IAGE, Inform 6 and
7, JACL, LADS, PAWS, Quest, SUDS, and TADS 2 and 3) for purposes of
cross-comparison for potential authors shopping around for a new development
environment; the stock game specification, such as it is, contains only three
rooms and three objects (a message, a brass wall-mounted hook, and the titular
dark cloak), with only a single puzzle between them. Where the fun and education
lies is in examining the respective annotated source codes provided, to observe
how different authors coaxed different languages to provide similar results.
