Hi folks, mostly programmers:
While chatting with one zthe listers, the subject of interactive
fiction came along; this person says she plays InteractiveFiction
games. Then I thought, "perhaps could we use inForm language to
write other games?" Well, at least self-contained games, which
require no access to file systems (FS access requires the SDK).
At the moment, I'm investigating on learning inForm 6 (at least
that's the interpreter version we have on KeySoft) and perhaps
creating our own programs. If we learn this language, we can
come up with a host of games (card games and others) that we can
run on KeySoft 7.0 and higher and could be a transition step to
access to SDK (if HW will come up with it later). Even though
this language is geared towards creating games, it could be used
(theoretically) to do all sorts of things (except write to
files), thus expanding a list of utilities that BrailleNote can
handle and to present user-created programs to fellow BN users.
Thanks for your considerations.
Cheers,
Joseph
