Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions Thanks. Unfortunately, I can't try most of this, since inform is refusing to let me make a list. Clearly it's me doing something wrong, but I've tried defining it in what feels like forty nine different ways, and nothing works -- either I get an error saying inform

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions As far as I know, try only works with actual actions. For iterating through tables, you use "repeat through (table name)" to go through each row in the table. Then to use an entry, just type the column name in the nested Statement. Naturally, you can als

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions I think the commands can just be translated without rewriting them, but the Parser would be quite bad then. But I don't know for sure. I've only used Inform in English. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=305786#p305786

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions It makes sense. I mean: If I wanna make a game in danish, or an other language, do I then have to translate the commands like get, inventory, the walking directions, open, close etc. or do I have to rewrite those commands from scratch? URL: http

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions For example, if you type "An arrow is a Thing. The Player carries ten arrows". Now the Player has ten identical arrows and not an object called "ten arrows". This is because Inform assumes that the plural of arrow is arrows. This assumption

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions I think the most difficult bit about writing language extensions is that you not just have to Change all the rules sentences, but also you have to program how Inform should handle definite and indefinite articles, plurals, verb tenses and so on, since it does that all

Re: Inform7 questions 1. Yeah,, Glulxe works great for windows, So does Winfrotz, actually. I'm not really sure about Mac.2. I'm not sure about a language translation for Danish, but as far as descriptions and whatnot go you could just write them in Danish. After that you'd need to find

Re: Inform7 questions Hi.I have just noticed what I did wrong, and I feel like a completely failure. I feel so stupid at the moment... Yes, you'll laugh when you read what I messed up, and it's okay to laugh...I copied the examples directly from the tutorial, and stupid me forgot to remove

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions When you set up a new Project, Inform writes the title and author in the first line. Have you erased that before using the example? Because otherwise the "Midsummer day" line is seen as text that is completely out of context to Inform. Hope that helps.

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions Yeah exactly. With what you gave me the best I could do was try and give you a working example of my own. Honestly i never used the examples for much save reference, and it's been a while since I've read any of them. Just compile it and paste in the contents

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions It's always worked fine for me. When something compiles through f5 it should automatically put you into the game. you can type commands in directly, and then use insert+arrows or the jaws cursor to navigate through the output.  I entirely agree with the natural

Re: Inform7 questions Wait, you managed to get the interpreter running? I've been having trouble with such tasks. I've found that accessibility can be had, but I have found it lacking in ways that I would prefer it not lack. Also, just a quick note, if anyone tells you Inform 7 is "na

Re: Inform7 questions

Re: Inform7 questions When you try to run it, errors should appear once it finishes attempting to compile (hit f6 to view them, f5 to compile). If there are none,, it should toss you directly into the interpreter, where you can type in commands. (It works perfectly fine with both NVDA

Re: Inform7 questions Oh. Inform 7? Let's see here. I would have to look through my projects to find something. The manual is quite terrible sometimes. There are way too many times of having to play with things until something works, but it is usable. I also dislike the interpreter it uses
