Parchment is a web interpreter for ADRIFT 4, Glulx, Hugo, TADS, and the Z-machine.

Parchment is also available as an interpreter template for Inform 7 for both Glulx and Z-code, which allows authors to easily publish their own online Parchment websites.

History

Parchment was originally a Z-machine-only web interpreter, created in 2008 by Atul Varma by reviving Gnusto. Dannii Willis became heavily involved shortly afterward.

The IFComp 2009 site promoted Parchment to play some entries online. (This functionality was integrated into the IFComp site itself as of IFComp 2010.)

In June 2010 (build 6E59), Inform 7 integrated Parchment with its ability to "release along with an interpreter", allowing Inform-7-authored games to easily be published on the web.

In March 2011, Parchment became a multi-format interpreter with the integration of Quixe, and got a new home at iplayif.com.
