This archive contains a binary build of glulxe-cheapglk suitable for running Glulx games in a terminal emulator on Kindle 3 (Kindle Keyboard).

To use:
- Jailbreak the Kindle 3. (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=338268)
- Install a terminal emulator, like myTS. (http://my.svgalib.org/kindle/myts-8.zip)
- Copy frotz, cfrotz, and game files (.zblorb, .z*) to a folder on the Kindle.
- Launch the terminal, navigate to the folder with cd, and run Frotz with:

    ./frotz gamefile.z5

Note that the binary file is "cfrotz"; "frotz" is a small shell script that will launch frotz with the correct parameters for myTS when configured as below. These parameters can be modified for your use-case.

The folder "myts" contains a custom font for myTS based on Iosevka (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka), which is much larger and more readable for prose than the default myTS font. After installing myTS, the files in this folder can be copied to the corresponding "myts" folder on the Kindle to use the font.

Source for the build configuration is included in the "src" folder; this is an unmodified version of Frotz 2.54, except for changing the makefile to statically link ncurses and commenting out a check so that it can be run as root. To run on Kindle 3, Frotz should be built on a Linux 2.x ARM device, such as an older Raspberry Pi. See LICENSE files in each folder for license information.
