Adventure Definition Language (ADL) is a system for writing text adventures. It was created by Ross Cunniff and Tim Brengle in 1987. It is available with source code in C. ADL is semi-object-oriented with Lisp-like syntax and is a superset of DDL.
ADL currently runs on Amiga, Atari ST, PC (DOS), VAX and Unix.

—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.””

Swift language flutters the lips
Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.”
