I have a fair amount of experience with two of the most popular interactive fiction authoring systems: Inform and Twine. If you're struggling to grok one of these, I'll be happy to help.

The GRUESOME Truth About The #Media
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vt272a9E7k
These are the truths about #themedia they don't want you to know: why they serve the interests of the #rich, and act not as a means to #educate and #inform - but to lobby for powerful vested interests.

#SwinomishPeople aka #PeopleOfTheSalmon , make up the federally recognized #tribe comprising the #CoastSalish people who are #descendants of the original tribes that lived in the surrounding areas. Their #culture is centered around saltwater resources, local flora, and fauna.
In 1991, the Tribe & BNSF signed an #agreement that #required the #railway company to #inform the #Reservation #community of the type of cargo contained on any #train

I'm at that point in parser game dev where I'm searching for misuses of "it's" in the text (should have been "its").

But there are so many! I'll never make a game this big again. Probably.

My 11yo expressed interest in #TextAdventures/#InteractiveFiction. I wrote stuff in #Inform years ago but I don’t think that would be his jam (and as beautiful as #Inform7 is I don’t think he’d be able to learn it quickly enough to avoid losing interest).

Does anyone know of good tutorials for #Twine that might be accessible to a bright 11 year old? I’d be happy to help him but I’d love to have something he could also read himself while I’m at work. Thank you!

I asked ChatGPT to generate some sample Inform 6 code. It generated Inform 7. I informed it of the mistake, it doubled down.

#inform #chatgpt

Chat session with ChatGPT.

Below sample Inform 7 code reads:

"This game creates a simple house with a few rooms, including a kitchen, living room, porch, garage, dining room, and backyard. The player starts in the kitchen and can navigate to different rooms by moving in different directions. Some doors are locked, but the player can unlock them with a key. The game is won when the player reaches the backyard."

"You're wrong - this is inform 6, not inform 7."

"You are correct, the code I provided is written in Inform 6, not Inform 7. Inform 6 and Inform 7 are both programming languages used to create interactive fiction, but they have some differences in syntax and functionality. Inform 6 is an older version of the language and is not as commonly used as Inform 7. I apologize for the mistake."

I have eight days to go before my self-imposed Inform 7 moratorium ends, and I wish I could start work on a hint system! I'd almost be glad if someone found a game-breaking bug just to have an excuse to crack it open

fake edit: scratch the "almost." I would, in fact, be glad to have a game-breaking bug to work on.

Now that it's in beta testing, I've made a promise that I won't open my Inform 7 work in progress unless a tester hits a game-breaking bug.

Could always just start a new one, I guess.

Okay - today's labor:

*Job Hunting. Try to spend a few hours kicking out applications every day.

* Working up some "pilot" #interactiveFiction stories to gauge interest in a serial. Maybe #twine, maybe #inform, maybe TADS

* Turn AC/DC's "Back in Black" into a #ttrpg scenario for Friday's Feng Shui game

* read some #comicbooks for that new YT channel idea I had

Let's get to it.

Got an idea for some serial #interactiveFiction games. Something episodic.

Might be in #unity, might be in #godotEngine, maybe #twine or #inform. Working on the details, maybe I'll whip up some "pilots" to see what strikes a chord with players.

Anyone else out there interested in classic #text-based #InteractiveFiction? Like the old #Infocom #games. I know there's an #IF community out there — are you on Mastodon?
