I've dabbled with Inform 6 and 7 on and off over the years and I had no idea that the latter produced z-machine games that were slower to run on limited hardware than the former! why is that? I thought that the syntactic differences between the Inform versions was purely on the authorship side, and that the z-machine output was more or less the same?
- jhbadger 4y agoAre you sure that you were comparing z-machine outputs in both cases? Inform 7 can output z-machine code, but is geared mostly to produce Glulx (another virtual machine with fewer limitations, but slower) output.
- adamrezich 4y agointeresting, I thought it defaulted to z-machine for some reason; it's been awhile
