Hello ports -- Attached is a new pair of ports: games/inform6/compiler and games/inform6/library. Combined, these two ports provide the dev tools for compiling interactive fiction games for the Z-Machine interpreters. Since they are so tightly coupled, I figured it made sense to put them under one directory.
--- pkg/DESCR for games/inform6/compiler: 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. --- I took the DESCR for both from the Debian package description. You can find some sample games here: https://inform-fiction.org/examples/index.html You can compile them by running: inform +/usr/local/share/inform Game.inf Which you can then run using games/frotz. OK? ~Brian
