IosFizmo -- an IosGlk port of the Fizmo Z-machine interpreter. Designed by Andrew Plotkin [email protected] Home site: http://eblong.com/zarf/glk/

This project is a combination of two subprojects: Fizmo (a portable Z-machine interpreter) and IosGlk (an iOS display library for interactive fiction). Please see the README information in the "fizmo" and "iosglk" subdirectories.

In addition, this project contains:

• IosFizmo.xcodeproj: The Xcode project file.

• IosFizmo-Info.plist: Some important app configuration information.

• IosFizmo-Prefix.pch: Header file containing iOS includes.

• fizmo-config.h: Header file containing Fizmo configuration defines.

• main.m: Top-level function for the app.

• fizmo (subdirectory): Source code for the Fizmo interpreter (Christoph Ender). This is the portable Z-code interpreter engine.

• iosglk (subdirectory): Source code for the iOS Glk display library. This is the general iOS display library. (This directory contains its own Xcode project file, but you should ignore that.)

• TerpSrc (subdirectory): Source code specifically for iOS Fizmo. This glues together fizmo and iosglk, and also handles the four app tabs.

• Resources (subdirectory): All of the interface layout files. These define the appearance of the screens and menus in the app. (For more resources, see iosglk/Resources.)

• Media (subdirectory): Interface graphics for the interpreter. Buttons and icons. (See also iosglk/Media.)

• WebSite (subdirectory): HTML files for the in-app "help" and "license information" screens.

• FizmoLocales (subdirectory): Localized text for Fizmo error messages. (These are extracted from the fizmo directory, but you don't have to worry about that.)

• Icon.png, Icon-*.png: The iOS icons. There are a whole bunch of these, in different sizes.

• iTunesArtwork: The cover art image. This is a PNG file, even though it lacks the .png suffix.

• Default.png, Default-*.png: The iOS launch images. These appear as the app is starting up. (Default.png is for iPhone; the other two are for iPad.)

• Game.z5: The game file. This is Colossal Cave.

• README: This file.

• doc-app-building.txt: A guide to building and releasing an IosFizmo game app. (Read online: http://github.com/erkyrath/iosfizmo/wiki/ )
