inform (interactive fiction compiler)
|
|
|
|
Inform 6 is version 6 of Inform, an interactive fiction programming
|
|
language created by Graham Nelson. Inform 6 made its debut on
|
|
April 30th, 1996, and it continues to be one of the most popular
|
|
IF development systems even after the introduction of Inform 7 in
|
|
2006. Inform 6, like all other versions of Inform, compiles to code
|
|
not only for the Z-machine, the same virtual machine used by Infocom,
|
|
but also for the more powerful and flexible virtual machine called
|
|
Glulx.
|
|
|
|
This is a command-line compiler for the Inform 6 language. For a
|
|
graphical Inform 7 compiler, see gnome-inform7. Inform 6 and 7 are
|
|
completely different languages, so it's not redundant to install both.
|
|
|
|
To get started writing interactive fiction with Inform, all the
|
|
documentation you need is installed in /usr/doc/inform-$VERSION:
|
|
|
|
inform_beginners_guide.pdf - aka IBG. Read this first.
|
|
manual/index.html - Inform Designer's Manual, aka DM4.
|
|
tutor/*.inf - Tutorials in Inform source code format.
|
|
demos/*.inf - Source to sample games.
|
|
|
|
Related packages: you'll want a Z-Code interpreter to try out your
|
|
creations. Install one of: fizmo, frotz, zoom.
