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, everything you need is installed in /usr/doc/inform-$VERSION: inform_beginners_guide.pdf - Read this first. manual/index.html - The Designer's Manual. Everything you need to know. tutorials/*.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.
