ParserComp 2022 is soliciting games that use keyboard input:
ParserComp defines a parser game as one where the primary input method is the keyboard, commands are typed in, the computer uses a parser engine to understand commands and then outputs text to screen describing the results.
Games for ParserComp may be submitted from May 1 to June 30.
May 7 is the next meeting of the SF Bay IF Meetup.
The annual Spring Thing festival is now open, meaning that you can play the games and submit ribbon nominations. Nominations will close May 10.
