Kindle port of Gargoyle – an interactive fiction player
Gargoyle is a GTK+ player for IF. It supports all the major interactive fiction formats. It's designed with special care for game layout and typography.
The look and feel of the interface may be tweaked by fiddling with garglk.ini file. There are settings for fonts, line spacing, margins, colors, gamma etc.
This port is in an alpha stage. It should work on Kindle Touch and Paperwhite. There are not many changes to original source code. To make things easier I build it without sound support. :)
I prepared a package to be used with KUAL Launcher
