ADRIFT .blorb files are mis-marked as Glulx #130

Closed jmacdotorg closed 7 years ago

The IF system ADRIFT 5 can also produce Blorb files, which it marks with the file extension .blorb. Currently, the web app treats all files with this extension as containing Glulx games.

The web application needs to better discriminate between types of Blorbs, and also add ADRIFT to its list of recognized platforms.

Editorial: Arguably, this is a bit rude on ADRIFT's part. Blorb is an open packaging standard, but Inform calls the Z-code Blorbs it generates .zblorb. ADRIFT could have taken a page from this behavior and gone with .ablorb or something. Alas, it did not.

What the app should really do:

In every case, if it sees a .blorb file, crack it open and see what kinds of files it contains. Determine platform based on that.
