Progress Quest: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
pq2 implements the game's core logic behind two working front-ends, a Qt GUI and an NCurses terminal interface, with GTK and native Windows GUIs not started and the macOS build incomplete; the project as a whole is listed as semi-playable. The other progress-quest is a single-interface Qt port that traces its lineage through the original Delphi Pascal version and an intermediate JavaScript port, but is currently listed as unplayable. Both projects are halted, so neither is under active development.
