| 656 | -1 | 1999-09-13 11:46:55 | <em>Category:</em> Interactive Fiction<br> <em>Description:</em> Hugo is one of the leading IF design systems. In addition to being capable of producing leading-edge text adventures, it also allows a developer to incorporate true-color graphics display (which are optional for those who lack either the hardware or inclination to view graphics) as well as sound effects and music. And it's free. <p> The complete Hugo system consists of several parts, the most important of which are the Hug Compiler and the Hugo Engine--the former takes text-format source code and turns it into a playable format understood by the latter. The Hugo language itself is an easy to learn, highly object-oriented language which (the author hopes) encompasses the best elements of elegance, simplicity, clarity, and power of modern programming languages. Also available is the Hugo Library: a collection of common routines, objects, etc. that are responsible for managing many of the "physical universe" aspects of the game. (And the sophisticated Hugo Debugger allows a Hugo programmer to examine every aspect of a game at runtime.) | Hugo 2.5.01b | new | |
