Faerie

Faerie is a fluent, UI-agnostic C# engine for building text adventures / interactive fiction — the Fluent Adventure Engine.

  • Rooms, things, creatures and verbs wired together by C# reference — no magic strings.
  • A flexible parser, verb reactions, and per-turn daemons.
  • Output filters (rewrite/echo/suppress text by room or state).
  • Location stills and optional chroma-keyed overlays (Room.Illustrated, RoomArt) — painted by the Avalonia host.
  • JSON save/load.

The engine renders through the abstract Faerie.Presentation.ITerminal. It has no UI dependency; front ends ship separately:

var b = GameBuilder.Create("My Adventure").AddStandardVerbs();
var hall = b.Room("Hall").Describe("A plain hall.");
b.StartIn(hall);
Game game = b.Build();

See the repository for the authoring guide and sample games.

Faerie.Terminal

Shared, UI-agnostic terminal model for the Faerie text-adventure engine: a true-colour character-cell framebuffer (TerminalBuffer) with a non-scrolling title row, an optional status row, scrollback, and styled cells. Implements Faerie's ITerminal and is reused by concrete front ends (e.g. Faerie.Terminal.Avalonia and a future Faerie.Terminal.Console). No UI-toolkit dependency.
Faerie.Terminal.Avalonia

Avalonia "fake terminal" front end for the Faerie text-adventure engine: renders Faerie.Terminal's character-cell framebuffer as a true-colour text screen with blink/underline/bold/inverse, scrollback, zoom, title/status bars, and a game-supplied or built-in retro font. Bundles 20 curated open-licensed fonts (IBM PC, BBC, and 8-bit classics).
Faerie.Terminal.Headless

Headless Faerie host for automated testing and CI: replay player commands from a script file and write a plain-text session transcript (input and stripped output). No UI dependency — reference from your own game or test project alongside Faerie.
