ADRIFT is a graphical user interface used to create and play text adventures. The name is an acronym for "Adventure Development & Runner - Interactive Fiction Toolkit". The project was solely developed by Campbell Wild until he made it open source in 2018. Since then, only minor contributions to the main programs (Developer and Runner) have been given by others, though there have been contributions elsewhere to alternative Runners and the default Standard Library.

  • ADRIFT, Adventure Development & Runner - Interactive Fiction Toolkit, är ett Windowsprogram skrivet av Campbell Wild som används för att skapa så kallad interaktiv fiktion eller textäventyr. Programmets största fördel jämfört med andra programspråk är det faktum att man som författare inte behöver kunna programmera. Istället kan snabbt börja skriva sitt eget spel och sprida det. (sv)

  • ADRIFT is a graphical user interface used to create and play text adventures. The name is an acronym for "Adventure Development & Runner - Interactive Fiction Toolkit". The project was solely developed by Campbell Wild until he made it open source in 2018. Since then, only minor contributions to the main programs (Developer and Runner) have been given by others, though there have been contributions elsewhere to alternative Runners and the default Standard Library. The toolkit consists of two programs; a developer (used to write games - known as the generator before ADRIFT 5), and a runner (used to play them), though the runner is available to download separately. In the current stable release (version 5.0.36), released in 2020, both programs only run on Microsoft Windows platforms as they are written in Visual Basic. ADRIFT started out as shareware. When ADRIFT 5 was released it became donationware until it became open source. For a while ADRIFT 5 was able to run on Linux using the Mono project but later updates did not work properly with Mono so these versions were skipped. Coinciding with the 2011 Interactive Fiction competition, ADRIFT WebRunner was launched. This allows ADRIFT 5 games to be played online. Because the game runs server side, it allows games to be played on any device such as iPad. ADRIFT 5 went into Beta status as from 4 April 2011, where it became open for everyone to download. Unlike many text adventure creation tools (such as TADS), the author needs little knowledge of how to program to use the ADRIFT Developer. Instead, the author is presented with a simple graphical interface with which to write their game. This allows for text adventures to be written more quickly by people who are primarily authors rather than programmers. Two of the most critically acclaimed ADRIFT games to date are The PK Girl, which achieved 6th place in the Interactive Fiction Competition in 2002, and A Fine Day for Reaping, which took 7th place in the Interactive Fiction Competition and won the XYZZY Award for Best Story in 2007.

  • ADRIFT è un ambiente di sviluppo per creare avventure testuali tramite interfaccia grafica. Il nome è un acronimo che sta per "Adventure Development & Runner - Interactive Fiction Toolkit". Il progetto è sviluppato da Campbell Wild. Il toolkit consiste in due programmi; ADRIFT Generator (per creare i giochi di avventura) e ADRIFT Runner (per giocarli). I due programmi sono scaricabili separatamente. Entrambi sono stati realizzati in Visual Basic e funzionano solo sui sistemi operativi Microsoft Windows. Dalla quarta edizione, ADRIFT Generator è shareware e senza l'acquisto della licenza ($18.95) non è possibile salvare avventure che superino una certa grandezza. ADRIFT Runner è invece disponibile gratuitamente. A differenza di altri sistemi di sviluppo di avventure testuali, la creazione di avventure con ADRIFT non richiede la conoscenza e la stesura di un codice di programmazione a oggetti. La progettazione di un'avventura in ADRIFT è gestita tramite un'interfaccia grafica e menu di scelte. Grazie a questa caratteristica, ADRIFT consente di poter creare facilmente avventure testuali pur non avendo esperienza di linguaggi di programmazione. ADRIFT è predisposto all'inserimento di immagini e suoni; è possibile associare un'immagine e un suono di accompagnamento a ogni stanza nell'avventura, nonché assegnarle a specifici eventi o azioni. È possibile implementare giochi in lingua italiana servendosi delle librerie italiane ITDrift create da Roberto Grassi e liberamente scaricabili da IF Italia. I file delle avventure create con ADRIFT hanno l'estensione ".taf". Esistono interpreti alternativi ad ADRIFT Runner per poter giocare le avventure create con ADRIFT. jAsea è un'applicazione open-source in Java che è in grado di eseguire avventure ADRIFT a su qualsiasi browser o sistema operativo che abbia installato Java. Gli utenti Mac possono utilizzare MacScare come interprete sostitutivo di ADRIFT Runner. MacScare Supporta le avventure create con ADRIFT 3.x e 4.x. (it)
