ClubFloyd games absolutely must be programmed in ADRIFT, AGT, Choice Script, Glulx, Hugo, Inform, or TADS (2 or 3) because those are the only games that run on our bot, Floyd. With some additional work, we can made Choice of Games games work. (Sorry, we haven't figured out Twine yet, but every once in a while, for the sort of Twine games that don't heavily rely on their graphics or text effects, we will sometimes play one via copy & paste... it's... just a lot of work. So we don't do it that often.)
