Hi Vallzi,

I'm no Unix/Linux expert but I did learn C in school, C is supposed to be procedural programming language and it has been superceded with C++ which is object oriented.

C and C++ were invented a very long time ago. From what I hear, they still use C++ to write games. Since both C and C++ are pre-compiled they are much faster when they execute as compared to an interpreted language like Java.

From a programming point of view, Java supercedes C++, I've seen a few small games written in Java as well.

I recently installed Linux and it has a few small games, I haven't tried them yet.

Personaly I think Unix/Linux are more suitable as robust and secure web servers, and less likely would be a platform to write games (but I could be wrong)

It is difficult if not impossible to build websites with C and C++. If you are interested in building sites then I recommend HTML, CSS, JSP, Java (or PHP, ColdFusion, ASP,.Net)for the middle layer and some database software.

NAME

       QTads - Multimedia interpreter for TADS games

SYNOPSIS

       qtads [ game-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       QTads  is  an  interpreter  that  can  run games written in TADS. TADS is a programming language written by Michael J. Roberts, designed to
       implement text-adventure games (Interactive Fiction), similar to those developed by Infocom in 1980-1990, as well as other companies  (like
       Legend  Entertainment,  Level  9, etc). If you liked games like "Zork", "Adventure", "Trinity", or "Eric the Unready", you'll feel right at
       home.

       This version of QTads supports both TADS versions in use today; traditional TADS 2 as well as the new TADS 3 format. It runs on	a  variety
       of systems, including MS Windows and every Unix system for which the Qt library is available, including Linux and Mac OSX.

OPTIONS

       With no arguments, QTads will by default ask you for a filename, unless this prompting has been disabled in the configuration dialog.

       The optional filename can be used to start a game immediately.

LICENSE

       QTads  is  a  Free program, dual-licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) as well as the HTML TADS Freeware Source Code License.
       See the file COPYING (included in the package of the program), or the "Help->About" menu for details.

AUTHORS

       This program is written and maintained by Nikos Chantziaras <realnc@gmail.com>.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       The reference implementation of the TADS VM was done by Mike Roberts. Several people helped making QTads a better  program.  See  the  file
       CREDITS or the "Help->About" menu for a list of names.
