From 7f28c94eda576e3f972fc05468188986f2e45885 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Torne Wuff Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:15:13 +0000 Subject: New plugin: frotz, a Z-machine interpreter, for playing interactive fiction. The interpreter more or less passes all the tests in the z-machine test suite. It should build for every target except Archos (for which it is disabled). git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@24267 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657 --- apps/plugins/frotz/STATUS | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 45 insertions(+) create mode 100644 apps/plugins/frotz/STATUS (limited to 'apps/plugins/frotz/STATUS') diff --git a/apps/plugins/frotz/STATUS b/apps/plugins/frotz/STATUS new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3aa0f673ee --- /dev/null +++ b/apps/plugins/frotz/STATUS @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +frotz is quite portable and is divided into 'common' and os-specific files. +The common files are included here with minimal modifications.
