A set of utilities for tracking text-based game releases

Originally a parser for Russian Interactive Fiction, now it’s much more than that.

Русская версия readme

These are executable PHP scripts that serve different functions but share the code.

run.php

This one was the first.
Its function is simple: it scans some game hosting sites, finds the new games (published during the last week) and prints a neat list in Markdown or HTML format.
All automatic.

bot.php

This one does the same in continuous fashion, posting the feed to Mastodon or Telegram.

wiki.php

And this one makes wiki pages for the IFWiki.
It uses Russian IFWiki syntax and templates but it would be easy to alter for the English IFWiki as well if you’d want that.

kril.php

Just ignore this, it’s for Russian IF comp.
