Re: [Audyssey] Writing with Inform

What I'd like to find is something called inform.t, which translates inform games to TADS. The reason for this is that there are no accessible programs that run Inform games that work well on the PM.

I've certainly been able to play inform 7 games with win frotz, ---- in 
fact both with win frotz tts and the standard version.



As I understand it, they updated the coding and creation process, but not 
the playing of Zcode files from a users' perspective.

Hi Jacob,

I don't recall seeing a notice in iInform 7 that mentioned dropping 
support

for several platforms; also that should rely on theinterpreter, not the
program itself.

Best Regards,
Hayden

Will check it out, but part of sticking to an older version if 
more/multiple



platform support - as in wouldn't want any client/interpreter to be 
unable

to process the rendered file.

Hi Jacob
I think you might look into inform 7 which is the newest version of
inform. I think they have made programming with inform a lot easier with
inform 7.

Just started looking into it, and busy working through tutorial CHM
file, and like some other dev scenario's, I'm just using notepad, and

the command line compiler to turn the text files into *.z5 files at 
the



moment.

Hedy all,

Until I can find a "real" programming language that my brain can
comprehend and or find a manual that's easy to understand, Inform is

my only option for now. I really want to go into programming and 
make

it a job though if I'm having trouble understanding programming
manuals it makes such a goal seem unachieveable. Then, once I manage

to formulate these concepts in my head, how do I make a game out of 
it



and turn it into code and make sounds do what I want, etc.

However, for those of you who write in Inform, which do you use to

write it? Notepad and or a text editor and then compile it within 
the

Inform program?


Also, even though inform is the simple programming language, what 
does



one start a game off with. Creating a room? Because I notice at the
beginning of Inform games there's release information and extention
inclusions.

Thanks.
