Playfic, an experimental community for writing/playing interactive fiction
Playfic is a community for writing, sharing, and playing interactive fiction games (aka "text adventures") entirely from your browser, using a bizarre and wonderful "natural language"-inspired language called Inform 7. I wrote a bit more about it on my blog, along with some screenshots.

Wow, I'm actually impressed that the game sources are 100% natural language. Was not expecting that at all (not an IF person). Strikes me as something that could be useful as a e-learning tool.

Have you posted this to Hacker News? I think you should, they are crazy about this sort of stuff, especially the technical aspects.

It's up there, but I don't think anyone's noticed it yet:

The best. Just switched to Bootstrap 2 last night.
