Move IFM to Cross platform

Hi tajmone,
thank you for this list, its very helpful. What do you think about moving this mapping tool

IFM (Interactive Fiction Mapper) — (1998–2014) Console/CMD executables available at IF Archive. IFM is a language for keeping track of gameplay progress, and a program for producing various different sorts of output using it, including automapping. See online documentation and IFWiki.

from MS Windows to Cross platform? The bitbucket repository contains information how to compile it for Linux. (Which "works on my machine" ™️ but better anecdotal proof than none ;) )

What do you think?
Cheers,
DBX12

`build.sh` contents?

I see build.sh referenced in build-and-validate.sh but it is not included in the repo.

I understand this may include sensitive info like github login credentials to deploy but can an example script be added?
Or else expand CONTRIBUTING.md to include more detailed build & deploy instructions.

The old list at Yahoo is no longer active since Dec 15, 2020 (Yahoo stopped supporting the service altogether). So the list was migrated to Google.

TOC Updater: Switch to doctoc — or use ST3 MarkdownTOC

Hi Yakira,

Batch Update to Pandoc 2

I've updated the updatemarkdown.bat batch script to make it work with the newer pandoc v2 — sorry for the delay, pandoc 2 was released a few monthes ago, but its non-backward compatible changes forced me to revise lots of pandoc dependent projects, and it took me quite a while.

So, the old script doesn't work anymore with pandoc v2.x, nor the new script works with pandoc v1.x. Pandoc 2 implements the new gfm format, which is specific to GitHub Flavored Markdown, so it handles it much better than before (still, no support of Task-Lists, except via scripts, but we won't be using Task-Lists here anyhow).

Dropping gfmtoc for doctoc?

Lately I've considered switching from gfmtoc to doctoc, another similar tool (still Node.JS):

https://www.npmjs.com/package/doctoc

There are two main reasons why I'd like to do this:

1. I've found some edge cases — usually when special chars are involved — in which gfmtoc fails to render TOC links properly, and as a result some TOCS link don't work.
2. gfmtoc seems to be no longer maintained (last release dates back to 2016), and Node.JS is evolving fast, so my fear is that it might soon have issues with newer versions of Node.JS.

doctoc is very actively maintained, and can handle better special chars in TOC links. Plus, it offers a couple of extra interesting features, and also supports generating markdown TOCs for portals other than GitHub:

• Bitbucket.org
• Nodejs.org
• GitHub.com
• GitLab.com
• Ghost.org

If it's ok with you, I'd further tweak the batch script to use doctoc instead.

Sublime Text MarkdownTOC

I personally use Sublime Text 3 for editing markdown docs, and hav installed the MarkdownTOC package which automatically updates the TOC at save-time:

https://packagecontrol.io/packages/MarkdownTOC
https://github.com/naokazuterada/MarkdownTOC

If you happened to also use ST, this might be an even better solution as it doesn't require any scripts and we could do without the batch.

Proposal: Add a script for auto-TOC generation of README

Hi Yakira.

I wanted to call your attention to a couple of scripts I've created for automating TOC generation and source cleanup in markdown documents inside my repos:

https://github.com/tajmone/purebasic-archives/tree/master/repo-maintainance-tools

Since the TOC of awesome-interactive-fiction is heading to grow longer and longer in time, I could create a simplified variant of these scripts, to handle the single README of this repo with just a click. The presence of a batch script shouldn't interfere with the overall repo.

At the link provided above, you'll find the rationale behind these scripts, and their advantages in cooperative work.

If you give me the OK to go, I'll modify the script and make a PR for it.

Creating a *nix shell variant of the script shouldn't be a problem either, and the tools invoked by it are cross-platform.

Best regards,

Tristano

Add License to Project

@yakiradixon, I was thinking of adding a license to the project. Following the guidelines of the Awesome proejct, I would go for the CC0 license (public domain).

Since you're the original creator of this project, I wanted to make sure that this is OK with you.

As you can see, the project is gradually growing and attracting visitors (it's even mentioned in the homepage of the Spring Thing 2019 competion). But it really needs to be licensed.
