Thanks for bringing back fond memories of these games. Ballyhoo and Planetfall were my favorites. Poor Floyd.

Mapping app?
Has anyone found a good app for creating maps for these games? I've been using popplet lite, but it really isn't designed for it.

Thanks for mentioning this. I see the unlite (is that a word) version lets you save several maps. Looks like it would do a fair job. What have you found as the drawbacks in creating IF maps?

It is designed as a mind mapping tool, which is for directed graphs, without loops. So there is no way of creating a cycle of connected rooms, you have to fiddle it by creating duplicate rooms and stacking them over each other.

How about this: I tried the lite version, liked it, and spend the $5 bucks on the full version. I think it will work. |

Yes! I thought that may be what you wanted.
Anyway, I have the full version ($4.99) and will proceed to create a Popplet image for the IF title "9:05" which is about a simple an adventure as you can get. This will be a learning experience with Popplet. Again, I thank you for mentioning this app. I think it will work great. Now all we need is the update to the OS that will allow multitasking (or a jailbreak) so we can quickly switch between Frotz and Popplet. |
