QTADS(6) User Manuals QTADS(6) NAME QTads - Multimedia interpreter for TADS games SYNOPSIS qtads [ game-file ] DESCRIPTION QTads is an interpreter that can run games written in TADS. TADS is a programming language written by Michael J. Roberts, designed to imple- ment text-adventure games (Interactive Fiction), similar to those de- veloped by Infocom in 1980-1990, as well as other companies (like Leg- end Entertainment, Level 9, etc). If you liked games like "Zork", "Ad- venture", "Trinity", or "Eric the Unready", you'll feel right at home. This version of QTads supports both TADS versions in use today; tradi- tional TADS 2 as well as the new TADS 3 format. It runs on a variety of systems, including MS Windows and every Unix system for which the Qt library is available, including Linux and Mac OSX. OPTIONS With no arguments, QTads will by default ask you for a filename, unless this prompting has been disabled in the configuration dialog. The optional filename can be used to start a game immediately.
