AlanLanguage
Last edit December 16, 2013
From the ALAN manual introduction:
"Alan is a special purpose computer language specifically designed to make it very easy to create ... adventure games with little programming skills."
ALAN is the creation of
ThomasNilsson
, who also maintains the ALAN homepage (
http://welcome.to/alan-if
).
ALAN tries to keep a natural language look, so doesn't use typical programming constructs such as brackets or other complicated visual punctuation. It is a bit easier for non-programmers to understand and use than some of the other, more fully developed
InteractiveFiction
programming languages.
Interesting enhancements to the language include
StephenGriffith
's tutorial (
http://welcome.to/alan-if/tutor/contents.htm
), his Windows console for writing in ALAN (
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/programming/alan/executables/adew.exe
), and his enhancement of the standard library (

).
