Trizbort is a simple, open source, tool used to create maps for interactive fiction.
Features include:
- A simple point and click interface to create rooms, resize them and connect them together.
- Smart* lines which snap to the cardinal** points on room edges.
- Rooms can be marked as dark or light; dark rooms on the map have shaded corners.
- A list of objects per room, which can be “docked” to any room edge or placed inside the room.
- Customisable colours, fonts and drawing styles.
- A “hand-drawn” line style for that back-of-an-envelope feel.
- Title, description and author text which will be saved with the map.
- Export to PDF files and PNG images for posterity or printing.
- Multiple selection.
- Single keypress keyboard shortcuts.
- An XML file format in case other tools wish to generate or read Trizbort maps.
- Map statistics.
- Support for ALAN – Alan Interactive Fiction Language – a tool for creating works of Interactive Fiction.
- Export code (I7, I6, TADS3) to clipboard.
