TADS 3.1 just released. Up to now TADS was a development framework for single-player interactive fiction, but with the new release it got HTTP built in. Along with the IFDB it's now a pretty killer environment for making text games played in the browser (with all the browser UI chrome you want to throw on top). It's a very flexible OO language with a great text game oriented library attached. Worth checking out.
It looks like a fun kind of system to use, but I have one minor gripe… What does the acronym "TADS" stand for? Can't find it on any of a dozen pages I pawed through on their site…
If you're going to use initials you should first think of the awesome word you want to spell…then think up how it can work with it. You know, like L.U.A. ;) (Yes, I'm trolling DH.)
