Hi Michael,
As far as I know there is no such thing as a gamebook creator as all
of the gamebooks I've ever played are just simple html tagged files.
You can write those up in notepad or any plane vinila text editor of
your choosing.
Cheers!

Hi Michael,
Once you compile the Inform source code into a *.z data file it
doesn't mater what platform or zcode interpreter you use.
For example, I'm currently working on a sci-fi if game in Inform 7
using the Inform 7 tools for Gnome. If I compile the source code it
doesn't matter if I run it
Hey, Thomas thanks for that info.
But however it didn't answer my question.
My question I guess I'm trying to ask can I make a game just for
windows or do I have to make it for the interpreter?

Hi Michael,
If you are asking if you can make a stand alone application using
Inform the answer is no. Inform is strictly an interpreted language.
That means it needs an interpreter like Frotz or Winfrotz to run. You
can't make a stand alone Windows exe file.
Cheers!

Hey, Thomas thanks for the info.

I remember exe files being made so its possible I suspect at least
with the old z3 6 and 8 I am not sure about glulx or anything else.

Hi Sean.
the z machine was virtual, but as I understand it, infocom themselves
obviously had to create platform specific version to run the z machine on
each format.
This however simply involved running the z machine which then ran the full

Shaun,
In answer to your question the Dos text adventures you are talking
about were not written in Inform. They were most likely written in C
or C++. As I said Inform can not be compiled into an executable file
and never did have that ability.
Although, Inform is considered a programming

Hi Dark,
Yeah, Inform has fared really well over the past 30 years. Since
being turned over to the open source community its continue to grow,
get better, and supports just about every software platform you can

Have you read the manuals/guides on inform7.com? The reason I ask is
because I've read them and they are extremely straight forward, very
explanitory, and one of them is aimed directly for people who have no

Hi Dark,
No, Inform is very newby friendly. It is a very simplistic programming
language, and its very understandible. I think as an intro language it
isn't too bad. Of course, by the time I started learning it I had

Hi Michael,
Maybe if you could give us a specific issue or problem to answer we
could be more helpful. As it stands right now all you are saying is
you are blind, which I am too, and you need help. However, help with
what specifically?
Cheers!
