iPhoneFrotz v0.2 - Frotz Z-Machine Interpreter for iPhone

News/release from spathiwa

Tired of all those new-fangled graphics and dazzling eye candy on your shiny new iPhone?

Can't quite master the finicky multi-touch Nintendo controls in NES.app?

Then take advantage of those crisp high-resolution fonts on your iPhone to relive the glory days of the Great Underground Empire, or play any of hundreds of great works from the Interactive Fiction archive.

Requires a jailbroken/sshd-enabled phone to install.

Installation
To install from binary distribution, download and extract the iphoneFrotz-X.Y.tar.gz file.

Copy the resulting Frotz.app directory to your iPhone.

Create a directory /var/root/Library/Frotz/Games on your iPhone and copy your Z-Machine game data files there.

A good starting point for exploring the wealth of Interactive Fiction is here.

2007/08/14 UPDATE: The Frotz directory has been moved to /var/root/Media/Frotz/Games in version 0.2 so you can use iPhuc, etc. to copy the files more easily.

If you already have game or save files in the old location, iPhoneFrotz 0.2 will move them to the new location automatically on first launch.

This update also enables auto-saving of games when the phone goes to sleep or back to the SpringBoard menu -- this worked in 0.1 only if you knew to create the 'Saves' directory by hand.
