I'm joining the party late...downloaded it and am taking it for a spin. I like the design approach: hybrid parser, download finished game into a single HTML file, game data is separated from game engine, editor is HTML based, comes with examples, and a nice PDF manual. I don't see an easy way to include graphics?

No, there's no native support for graphics (yet) except to "say" html (and you have to avoid colons, which I wish I'd thought of when I made them syntactic, so use deprecated attributes or classes rather than proper HTML4+ style attributes) or muck about with javascript and use the js command, if that's your thing. There are various reasons why this is fiddly, including where the graphics go (am I going to need to let you upload them somehow?) but it's probably the single most common request I get, so I'll have a look at it next time I'm on a Gruescript dev spree. Lots of priority life stuff going on at the moment so I don't know when that will be! Glad you're enjoying it :-)

Thank you! I'll try "say" html way to display images. I'm currently learning the syntax so can't offer much at the moment, but my idea was to display a small image when a specific verb is used on an object. I'm hoping something like say <img src='image.jpg'> will work.

Yes, that should work, with the path to image.jpg relative to the index.html file (i.e. "image.jpg" if it's in the same folder, "images/monster.jpg" if it's in an 'images' subfolder, or whatever) - you'll probably want to download Gruescript and run it locally.

That worked for me. The more that I use this, the more that I like. I highly recommend it. Thank you for creating this and making it available. 

Thank you, it's really cool to hear from people who are enjoying using it!
