Description
TADS 3 (Text Adventure Development System) is an Interactive Fiction development system by Michael J. Roberts. Plain text source code files are created using the TADS 3 programming language, and then compiled into a system-independent game file. TADS 3 source code files typically have the extension .t. Compiled game files can be played on any system that has an appropriate interpreter.
TADS 3 is the current version of TADS, and is a radical departure from previous versions. See TADS for more information.
