Ideally there should only be one major new feature per release, and releases should be frequent. The current plan is below - all of it is subject to change of course!
You can get involved by contributing on GitHub, or discussing Squiffy at the forum.
Status: Released 26 July 2014.
This release of Squiffy is a simple command-line Python script.
Status: Released 11 October 2014.
This release is a re-write of the Squiffy compiler to use Node.js instead of Python. This enables the compiler to run easily pretty much anywhere - as a web service, or as part of a desktop application (using node-webkit). It also means all of Squiffy - both the compiler and the run-time - is now written using one language, JavaScript.
Status: Released 25 April 2015.
This is the first release of Squiffy to have a web-based editor, so you can now use it without downloading anything. To start with, it is a very simple editor - pretty much just a text editor to edit the raw script file. The output can be downloaded, or published directly to textadventures.co.uk.
Status: Released 11 July 2015.
This is the first downloadable version of the Squiffy editor. It is based on the same web-based editor as first created for Squiffy 3, but packaged using Electron.
Status: In development
The next step is to flesh out the features of the editor. Once nice feature would be a graphical view of a game’s sections and passages, so the overall structure of a game can be visualised. Also, more tools can be provided to make it easier to add sections and passages, and to detect missing or empty ones.
