Free Bird

This is my largest pygame project and first real interactive fiction game. It was made years ago. The new version has minimal changes besides bugfixes. I never liked it very much, so haven't published it anywhere until now.

The intent was to recreate Inform with Python, or at least create an interactive fiction library you can import to make IF in Python. In theory, you can replace the main.py file with a similarly structured file, and use it to make a different game.

I wouldn't recommend it, since the program is inferior to Inform and other parser game creation tools in almost every way. It can be considered more a programming exercise than anything.

The game itself is short and serves more as a demo to show off features like an inventory system, a dialogue system, and a janky save/load system. Since I wouldn't recommend this game or my attempt at a Python interactive fiction 'library' to anyone, this project mainly exists for archival purposes, and for anyone who's interested in the mechanics of creating IF with Python.
