What they say

"I think it's the best IF language I've ever seen - and I *am* a programmer."

Andrew Heale

"An easy to learn system with the ability to do some amazing things."

Tom

"Well, it was very easy to learn and it's easy to do stuff in it."

Mikko Vuorinen

"I gotta say, I love it!"

Robert DeFord

"[the game] does not represent the real capabilities of the Alan Language but does demonstrate Alan's amazing ability to allow someone who has never done an iota of computer programming of any kind to produce SOMETHING within a few weeks!"

Eric Mayer (on his game HeBGB Horrors)

"I-F languages are like vehicles ... using Alan is like driving a zippy, easy-handling little electric town car -- it's often all you need to take you where you want to go."

Lelah Conrad

         

Looking for v2?

Alan V2 is very obsolete. Use Alan v3 instead. But you can still visit the obsolete v2 information and downloads here.
