[Accessibility-testing] Making an official interpreters-to-test list

[Jason McIntosh]

Hi all,

I’d like to pull together that canonical list of interpreters to test, for both our Inform and Twine test games.

First, Inform, which is to say Glulx. Based on discussion on this list from a few weeks ago, we have:

Zarf’s original list:
• Quixe (web)
• WinGlulxe (Win)
• Gargoyle (Mac/Win/Linux)
• Lectrote (Mac/Win/Linux)

What we agreed to add in subsequent discussion:
• Frotz (iOS)

Some questions:

• We were uncertain about also including Filfre (Windows) — does anyone in this group use it?

• Any other last-minute suggestions to add to this list?

• Do we need to test the two Mac/Win/Linux interpreters three times as much, or would we accept results from any of the three platforms as equivalent?

• Similarly, for Quixe, is it sufficient to accept test results from any sufficiently modern browser/OS combination, and consider these all equivalent? (I suppose we’d just ask folks what browser and OS they used, and so long as they're (a) something we’ve heard of and (b) a version from within the last year or so, that’s okay?)

For Twine (Harlowe & Sugarcube):

Obviously, the only interpreter is the web, so the only question I have here is the same as the one about Quixe. :)
