Play IF in Campfire

Ruby is an excellent language for writing small scripts to glue stuff together. Here’s a script I knocked together that lets you play a zcode text adventure (interactive fiction) with your friends in Campfire.

You’ll need a room, account, etc. in Campfire; you’ll need to compile this version of dumb-frotz; and you’ll need a zcode file to play – plenty of those at the Interactive Fiction Database.

I only wrote about this because @lazyatom called me a genius for doing it. Which was nice.

Have fun.
