wizardI must apologize that I have been tie up with other coding projects, many PHP code for the blogging system which I use for the last year or more and have not really worked much on Plugh!

Having said that, it is about 90% complete and you can do a lot with it. I believe that will I have reached 'code complete' for the functionality of the first version when I have completed verb handling (which is proving to be rather tricky - maybe I subconsciously left it for last). When that is done, I will give it it an alpha test and try to implement Colossal Cave after which I will request beta testers.

In the meantime, you can use the program to draw your maps and define and place your actors and objects and to define new classes. All that is not currently compete is the handling of verbs. You could, perhaps, declare a main file in which you define the handling of all of your verbs and include the Plugh generated file. That way, you could use Plugh for 90% of your work, and continue to use it to rework and redesign, and would only have to hand code the verbs.

I hope to resume coding and finish the project "Real Soon Now" (tm).

 

Just out of interest, the project currently contains 21,000 lines of code, not counting comments.
