Hugor

Hugor is a Hugo interpreter, created by Nikos Chantziaras, developed due to issues in the Macintosh and Linux versions of the Hugo interpreters for those systems. It runs on Linux (but other Unix systems as well if compiled from source code), Mac OS X (10.5 and newer) and Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista and 7).

Features exclusive to Hugor

  • If you rename the Hugor executable to share the name of a Hugo game file (.hex) in the same directory, opening the executable will automatically open the game. This makes it easier to share games with the IF-interpreter-unsavvy.
  • When minimized, music is muted but not paused. This allows Hugo authors to predict exactly when a song will end.
  • The menu bar does not have commands like SAVE, RESTORE, and RESTART that may completely ignore the in-game code for doing the same thing (so an author can successfully keep track of how many times a game has been restarted).

What is missing
