You know, I love inform 7 and was incredibly inspired when I first saw it and played with it. I DID try to create a simple game but was stymied by the documentation. There's a tutorial with the most basic game, and then there's in-depth documentation. There's not a lot of in-between. Syntax examples of how to do a handful of common things would have been wonderful.
- yzzxy 12y agoI've had the exact same experience. Sometime I need to get around to reading source for a bunch of Inform games to get how larger programs are structured.
- AgentIcarus 12y agoI can recommend the book "Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7" - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creating-Interactive-Fiction-Inform-7/dp/1435455061/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creating-Interactive-Fiction-Inform-... - it walks through the process of creating a quite complex game and has some useful recipes and examples.
