Lukianos (Fabian)Got a copy of this wonderful book for Christmas and followed along the first Heidi implementation.

Jons Mostovojs<a href="https://blahaj.zone/@w" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@w</a> omg! Welcome to the ranks. Arguably you'll gain some functionality, but lose modern libraries if you use <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/Inform6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform6</a>. For example, implementing a turing machine in <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/inform6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inform6</a> is way easier than in <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/inform7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inform7</a>. (I had this challenge with my friend almost a decade ago lol).What I find crazy is how the top three tweets that got synced to my instance of yours are: - Privacy - Inform - NixHow are humans so similar lol.

Sigh.

McMartinDoing my part for IF Source Code Amnesty day: I've uploaded the source code for my games Flight of the Hummingbird (2010) and Atrocitron (2016) to the archive.

Inform 7 TipsI knew that many of <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@zarfeblong" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@zarfeblong</a> 's games' source code was on the IF Archive. But I only just learned that his website has the source for all his <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Inform7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform7</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Inform6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform6</a> games (even, egad, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Inform5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform5</a> games), and most of the others, save Hadean Lands. This includes the new short IF game Advent Mirror.<a href="https://eblong.com/zarf/if.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eblong.com/zarf/if.html</a>(...except for I6 game The Space Under the Window, whose source was lost)

jnpegayWhere it gets really weird and interesting, however, is in the jump from <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Inform6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform6</a> to <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Inform7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform7</a>.Inform 6 is just as specialized to <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/IF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IF</a> but it *looks* like code. Brackets and operators and semicolons everywhere. It’s not necessarily difficult to learn—certainly less to learn than general purpose languages—but it’s still intimidating if you don’t have a coding background.Inform 7, otoh, is what’s called a “natural language” programming language, and coding in it more resembles writing a story.
