Xyzzy is a small script that let's you easily create text adventure games just by creating a "world" in a pure json format. The end-goal is that the basic library is extensive enough that almost any story can be created without needing to write any code, with a format that is simple yet flexible enough that other interfaces, interpreters, GUI's, etc, can be built to use the same data, and being able to create new stories, all within the same ecosystem. Basically attempting to bring the old idea of z-machine formats in to a modern framework.
It's written in pure Python and should require very limited dependencies. It uses the Prompt Toolkit library to give it a modern and expansive input system, with dialogs, history, auto-complete, suggestions, and more, and also giving it formatted outputs, with colours and fonts.
There's still a lot of work to do.
