Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures I use the Inform 7 editor to write my source text, and then compile to a .z8 file to test in Windows Frotz. The interface could work a little better with screen readers, but I've learned to use it. My current difficulty is learning the syntax and how to do some

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures To be honest, I don't really like Twine games as much. I guess I'm still more of an old-school parser gamer. But it's not just the parser vs choice argument for me. For example, I definitely like Choice of Games titles. But twine falls in to the same trap much

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures I didn't think twine was accessible.The easiest program that I found to make text games was called adrift, no programming or scripting knowledge needed.I use to play a few games written in adrift, but I either got stuck or the author of the game stuffed

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures I remember Inform being painful to develop with from the command line. Has that changed?I don't recall specifics, but I remember the story format being kind of painful to track via something like Git. I think there was something like a global includes path, so

Re: creating text adventures I use Inform 7 to write the source text, and then compile the game to ZCode to test using Windows Frotz. I'm not sure how well Inform works with VoiceOver, as I rarely use macOS anymore. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/546223/#p546223 -- Audiogames

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures Yeah. I tried using the command line "ni" function to compile, but there's literally no help with the command, and just doing "ni test.ni" doesn't work. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/546191/#p546191 -- Audiogames-reflector mai

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures @17 Are you using the complete Inform platform to write and test your game, or are you using a different editor and just compile with inform? Because Inform can be quite difficult to work with sometimes because you can't use most debugging features. URL: https

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures Ah, okay. I'm on a Mac, so I'm still getting started. I guess I'll just write the source in Emacs, and compile with the inform app. Yeah this may take a while. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/545933/#p545933 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list

Re: creating text adventures I'm using Inform 7. Progress is very slow, as I have to write out every single response to many actions a player might take. I'm also still trying to learn things as I go. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/545925/#p545925 -- Audiogames-reflector

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures No, TADS is another interpreted language that has nothing to do with Inform or the z-machine. You need the TADS Development kit to program with this language. I've never tried it, so I don't know how accessible it is, but to be honest, it has kind of died out

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures @11The Camping Trip,http://ifwiki.org/index.php/The_Camping_Trip, indeed is a TADS 2 game.As for convertingInform to TADS? Judging from the link article, it doesn't look like it:http://brasslantern.org/writers/iftheor … andi7.html URL: https

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures Quest used to be a lot more accessible prior to version 5, sadly. That's some 10-12 years ago now though, so not that helpful. From what little I looked into it, I'll echo the many others and say Inform7. I need to get back into that someday... URL: https

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures You don't need the quotes around the name of your room. Inform outputs to the Glulx format by default, and stores files in the Inform\Projects\name_of_the_project.materials\Release. It's possible to change the output to a .z8 file under the settings tab

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures I also tried inform7, but have 2 questions.1. What format is this compiling? When i select release, it just creates some wierd file structures that look like html but an index is missing.2. I have this peace of code here."simtertest" by the simterso

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures Inform 7 is by far your best bet, if you want accessible and can do complicated things at the same time.  There's so much encoded into Inform 7's understanding of the world that you kinda don't have a choice if you want to use a regular programming language

Re: creating text adventures

Re: creating text adventures If you want to make gamebooks, try Aprone's DarkGrue program. For the more classic parcer type of interface, you may want to give Inform 7 a try. I'm writing a ZCode game, and plan to release it for the annual Interactive Fiction competition in 2021. URL

creating text adventures Hello.I decided to give text adventure makers another try. I tried twine. The only thing regarding this though that i could find was quest. I can kind of create things but when i run my adventure it ends up beeing really inaccessible and complicated to play
