ADRIFT is an acronym for Adventure Development & Runner - Interactive Fiction Toolkit

It is a tool for writing Interactive Fiction and games that are controlled by entering commands as text, and which primarily describe what is happening though prose (Although pictures and sound effects can also be added).

Much of the contents of this wiki duplicates the information in the ADRIFT help file that can be found at help.adrift.co, but with additional material continuously being added by ADRIFT users so it will be slightly more comprehensive and will be kept up to date with new developments.

The wiki is divided into 3 main sections: a user guide to give you a quick introduction to how to start playing or writing interactive fiction, tutorials to show you how to add specific features to your game, and a reference manual that explains each part of ADRIFT in detail.
