PlotBot
Overview
A Discord bot for playing interactive fiction games (text adventures). Different from bots that do the same thing in that it doesn't use a "dumb" text-only version of Glk--it renders Glk windows and text styles to the extent that they can be rendered in Discord's markdown.
Installing and running
- Clone with git.
npm install- Edit
src/config.jswith your credentials and any other changes you desire. - Put some game files in the
gamesdir. npm run serve
Note that you must have a RemGlk-enabled Z-code and Glulx interpreter installed on your server. I recommend fizmo and Glulxe, respectively.
Usage
In discord, type >play game.z5, where game.z5 is any game file you previously put in the games dir. Send game commands like so: >> take lantern. If you need to input a space or other invisible character, use quotes: >> " "
Note that the > command prefix can be modified. See src/config.js.
