How the pieces fit together

Texts (French and English) → Engine (Game.respond(line)): sentences
Terminal (Main, Java) → Engine (Game.respond(line)): each line typed
Tests (JUnit, whole games) → Engine (Game.respond(line)): play
Browser (compiled to JavaScript) → Engine (Game.respond(line))

Play in your browser

The game's engine, written in Java, compiled to JavaScript by TeaVM: type your commands as in a terminal (for example "north", "take the badge", "talk").
