Adventure Creator 2.3.4 is known as an interesting and fantastic game which lets you take your AC games to the next level. By introducing a fully integrated scripting language, game creators now have full control of their adventures.

Do you fondly recall hours upon hours of Zork or Adventure in Humongous Cave? Does hearing the word "Grue" result in a welling up of emotion (mostly frustration)? Can you run down the proper action sequence for all of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from memory?

Well then you are probably a huge geek. But thats ok, so are we. Welcome home.

In fact, the programming team at ATF has decided that its time for "interactive fiction" to get a much-needed shot in the arm. Games today are too full of imagery, animation, and action. All of this really draws away from the most important aspects of a game: the plot and the challenge. In order to effect change, weve written a game engine for text-based games.

Whats a game engine, you ask? Well its interpreter for a game: A game developer writes a game with certain rules and behaviors, and the game engine decodes that game and presents it to you, the player! No more pictures, no more motion; just you, your keyboard, and the game.

Amazing Text Fun Game Engine is an interactive fiction game engine.

The MacEntur system has established as a standard product for processing news wire messages and journalist texts in the news industry. Many important newspaper publishers as well as small editorial offices rely on this product in their daily business. The official Swiss news agency SDA has tested MacEntur and recommends the system to its customers.
MacEntur receives text data from various sources, performs any data preparation and provides the processed data on a server for further data processing.
Possible data sources may be satellite receivers getting news wire messages, modems receiving text from external working journalists or simply imported data files. MacEntur puts those texts to a data base developed by e-nvention ag. This data base is specifically optimized for text data and it allows to fetch the stored texts from any workstation within the whole network.
Editors can search the texts available in the MacEntur system for various search criterions by using existing serach templates and self-definable macros. Full text search is also provided. The search result is automatically presented to the MacEntur user in a displayed list. Those lists are automatically updated whenever new texts are available to the MacEntur system which fulfill the specified search criterions. Messages which have already been edited by MacEntur users are presented to the other MacEntur users by the editors personal stamp mark.
Enhancements:
- Printing does not cut right text margin anymore.
- Automatic Saving can be applied for selected news as well.

The OPML Editor follows in the tradition of simple text-based tools masquerading as a rich development platform. Or is it the other way around? Its always been this way.

The most powerful applications are also the most powerful development platforms. The various text editors on Unix. Quark XPress on the Macintosh. Notepad on Windows.

Inside every text editor is the potential of platform, and every platform must have a simple text editor.

Enhancements: Version 0.8a16 is now Mac OS X 10.4 compatible.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
