Hi all,
Over the past week or so, I've been learning Inform 7 and discovered
tonight that you can change the greater than symbol prompt in interactive
fiction games with a single line of code. You can also turn off the status
lines at the top, which refresh each turn.
Changing both would mean
Hi.
removing the status line would be handy indeed. as regards a replacement for
the greater than symbol, well as I said I got used to greater than
indicating that I should type something, but I do see your point especially
for starting if players.
Obviously the phrase should be very
Hi Dark,
I have seen games who behave like that, (actually including some Infocom
games if I recall correctly).
Best Regards,
Hayden

I have a bit of a problem. I am working on a new track for Rail Racer, and
there's a giant part that just does not register. That is the program
totally ignores the whole thing.

Personally, I am fine with the greater than symbol, but I see your

Hi Gary,
I think Ten Pin Alley 1.2 is designed to work with Vista and Windows 7. But
if you lost your registration key, you are now required to pay full price.
That is the Draconis policy as of last year.
I do not have the old registration keys, except for the Sarah game.

Hi.
Next time you ask about a game, try looking on the website of the
game itself and find as much information as possible before you post
to the list something which might already be answered. Not to be
rude, but it just seems moot to me to ask a question that could be
answered by taking a

A suggestion: Try them and find out. The best way to discover if you can
play a game is to try it rather than asking others if you can play it. Make
sense?

That's hardly fair. We ask people to do research first before they ask on

They are written in basic and you will need an interpreter to run them. I
heard of a program called GWBasic a while back, but not sure if it still
exists or is being developed.

Hi Dark,
Probably. Though someone would have to want to port the code to a language
that will compile an executable. Interestingly enough, the .bas extension
files are used for standard code modules in VB, though methinks it probably
wouldn't be compilable in that format.

Hi Ian,
Have you tried any of the cross-platform interpreters like frobtads,
scare, frotz, etc?
I mean if I can play dozens of text adventures on Linux surely there
are just as many if not more support for Mac OS. Most of the
interpreters I use are open source and can be cross-compiled on any

Sure its possible. There are plenty of languages we could convert this

and be way more cross-platform to boot.

I think Charles was alluding to the fact that he hadn't exhausted all
the options... because assuming he had a way to play the game since
