TADS compiler/interpreter for interactive fiction

TADS is a set of programming tools specially designed for writing adventure games. TADS consists of * A programming language, which resembles C and Java. * A compiler, which reads a set of source files written in the TADS programming language and produces a portable binary game file. * A library, which provides a set of generic adventure game definitions. * An interactive debugger, which lets you examine your program’s execution in order to find and fix programming errors. * An interpreter, which a player uses to run your game.
