Inform 7

I was over at the Informary today and noticed that there was a new version of Inform out! To my surprise, Inform 7 had been released. After reading about it a bit, I had to download it and give it a spin.

Graham Nelson decided to try a different approach to creating interactive fiction using natural language. Instead of Inform’s usual programming language, it is now more like writing a novel. Not surprisingly, I’ve spent most of my time today reading through the documentation and converting “The City of Alzan” to Inform 7. I’ll post it here when I get it done. Needless to say, this is a whole new adventure for me. Pun intended.
