Adventure Game Engine, AGE for short is a text adventure or "interactive-fiction" game engine I'm working on with the goal of capturing the essence of the classic Text Adventures I grew up on as a kid, but adding a few modern enhancements, such as a static screen layout, eliminating the time needed to type in things like "look" to remind yourself of where you are and "inventory" to see what you're carrying.

Navigation and inventory can be managed with single "hot keys" by pressing "N" for North, "G" or "P" to get or pick up an object, etc.

This is currently in the very early stages of working out data sets, screen layouts, keyboard mappings, etc., so it's going to hopefully evolve as the development continues.

The initial release will contain some baked-in demo rooms to help me work everything out, but the goal, will be to create an editor where anyone can create their own adventure games and run them with the engine.

It's being written in QB64, so Binaries will be available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, and it will look and feel like an MS-DOS era application that runs on modern systems.

A port to BASIC09 so it can run on OS9 and NitrOS9 will be work on and released as things release stable builds and milestones, and available through updates to the NitrOS9 Ease Of Use project and the CoCo-Pi project.

Testing and feedback encouraged
