<h2>What it is</h2>
<p>Jaiffa (Javascript Interactive Fiction/Adventures) is a toy
library for the creation of text adventures that can be embedded in
a Web page. It was created as a programming exercise and idea
testbed. Jaiffa is small, fast, and easy to use, study or modify.</p>
<p>As of 2010-05-18, the demo adventure <i>Catch that cat</i>
has been through one round of beta-testing, so it should play
somewhat smoothly.</p>
<h2>News</h2>
<p>Version 2014-06-27 fixes three-word commands, which the parser
simplification had broken. (And nobody noticed for three years.
Despite people looking at the project. Go figure.)</p>
<p>Version 2012-12-15 fixes, simplifies and extends the parser. Now
it's possible to add arbitrarily phrased commands to the parser.
Also, embedding is now done via iframe.</p>
<p>Version 2010-04-09 fixes a long-standing (and stupid) bug in
ContainerMixin.removeChild(), and the handling of intransitive verbs
that was broken in the previous release.
<p>Version 2010-04-08 fixes handling of unknown verbs and enables
three-word commands.</p>
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
<p>Jaiffa works in Firefox 3.5, Opera 10, Arora 0.10 (Webkit-based),
and partially in Konqueror 4 and Nokia Browser.</p>
