Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Inform 6 is an object-oriented language for writing interactive fiction, also known as "text adventures" or "adventure games". As an interactive fiction developer, you create Inform 6 source code defining the story. Then compile from source code to a "story file". The resulting story files are highly portable, with interpreters available for many different platforms. This package contains the Inform 6 compiler. The Inform 6 compiler can produce a story file in these formats: * Z-code, executed by implementations of the Infocom Z-machine. * Glulx, a modern platform for interactive fiction.
