An Application Programming Interface (API) for programs with textual user interfaces, created by [[Andrew Plotkin]]. Glk is not itself a [[programming language]], nor is it a [[virtual machine]]; it merely defines an abstract mechanism to handle input and output. [http://www.eblong.com/zarf/glk/index.html A full description of Glk] is available at the author's website. [[Glulx]] is a [[virtual machine]] that uses Glk and is designed for use in writing [[interactive fiction]]. [[Tor Andersson]] has adapted many interpreters to use Glk API as part of [[Gargoyle]] project.  ==Links== * [http://www.eblong.com/zarf/glk/index.html Glk homepage]. * [http://www.iffydoemain.org/glkdunces/index.htm Inform 6 Glulx/Glk for Dunces] by [[Marnie Parker]]. * [http://www.iffydoemain.org/grokglk/index.htm Grokking Glk] by [[Marnie Parker]].
