Take advantage of those crisp high-resolution fonts on your iPhone to relive the glory days of the Great Underground Empire, or play any of hundreds of great works from the Interactive Fiction archive.

Hopefully there are other people out there besides me who will be into this. :-)

You have no clue how happy this makes me! I was thinking that I might ought to figure out how to port frotz over, but you did it! Fantastic!

This thing is great, I haven't played HGTTG in ages! And now it's on my phone XD It works great too!

I can't remember what to do after the bulldozer stops :P

I made a quick icon for Frotz if anyone is interested.

Frotz has been updated: http://code.google.com/p/iphonefrotz/

Version 0.4 now supports:


Landscape mode

Text re-flow on selecting a new font or rotating the phone

Limited IF-specific word completion ('x' -> 'examiine', etc.)

Improved stability of the auto-save feature


(Many thanks to allen.porter for help figuring out landscape keyboard issues.)

Awesome... if you don't mind, I'll use your icon in the next update.

(I think it might be nice to add a '>' prompt below the Frotz text, though.)

How about this one...

I like that the "F" is centered. Adding the '>' under I think works well.
