| abstract | - Describe Text Parser here. Ask TV Tropes about Text Parser List Examples Look Examples Get Examples Get Fucking Examples It is probably better to ask a better parser, such as those used in the classic Infocom Interactive Fiction games and the later works created by hobbyists. >LIST EXAMPLES There was no verb in that sentence. >LOOK AT EXAMPLES You don't see any examples here. >FIND EXAMPLES Perhaps you should ask a Troper. >ASK TV TROPES ABOUT EXAMPLES "You're reading one right now. More examples aren't really necessary, because the point has been made. How well a text parser responds to your input depends on how well it's designed, and what commands the author of the game has anticipated. Clever enough authors will code in all sorts of clever responses to strange things you might try, and will make sure every reasonable synonym is included so you won't have too much trouble guessing the verb." >ASK TV TROPES ABOUT TEXT PARSER HISTORY "The text parser really got started with Crowther and Wood's Colossal Cave Adventure, but it was not until Zork came along that more advanced forms of the parser came along. The parser used in the classic Infocom games was called ZIL (Zork Interactive Language). The text parser gradually disappeared from commercial computer gaming in the early 1990s (replaced by Action Bar and Point and Click interfaces) as game designers wished to reach a different demographic. Fortunately for text fans, a large number of hobbyists have continued to design text parser based Interactive Fiction.
