Atypical format of games.

I'm working on a game right now and I'd love to post it here when it is more finished, but I'm making a very different game from what I see here. I'm making an IF game using just the python console, and I don't know if that is what is allowed here. Should I not upload just a simple .py file, or should I find some way to package it into an executable or something else, maybe this isn't something that is wanted on this at all and I should find somewhere else to publish. I just figured I'd ask about formats because I have absolutely no clue.

That sounds allowed, but a package that doesn't depend on already having a Python interpreter installed would be a lot easier for people to play. I'd suggest looking into python-emscripten to see if you can make a browser-playable build.

Of course it's allowed. How to make people play it is another story.

Allowed yes. But I urge you to reconsider.

By limiting your audience to only people that have the correct version of the python interpreter installed you are limiting your audience too much.

If you want to create an interactive fiction game, you should make one that people can actually play.
