Calculation based math/statistics related games in Inform 7 (?)
|
| |
Hi Guys,
Sorry if I sound stupid, but I am totally new to IF, but really fascinated by it. . I have a question: is it possible to make a game that includes calculations, say, puzzles that involve calculations? I am thinking of making math/statistics related games using Inform 7 but not like the 'abstract' kind of questions that you see in the textbooks.

a lack of adventure type games being sold
|
| |
I suspect that there are no text only adventures being sold these days like
Zork etc but I heard that Scott Adams was working on a new adventure.
Most of the games that claim to be adventures are just games that have you
finding hidden objects in different rooms.
Not much has been created since Myst was released.... more »

What I like and hate in Adventures
|
| |

sizes for adventure items
|
| |
I've been writing a text adventure creator that uses the old system where
the script has a list of adverts, nouns, messages, objects etc.
I need to define has much space is needed for items, for example Dim
Objects (100) as string. Which puts a limit of how many objects the
adventure can have.
What I've like to know if how many rooms and objects are used in adventures... more »

Hack to Plotkin's Quixe brings javascript to int-fiction
|
| |
A simple hack to Andrew Plotkin's Quixe brings the power of javascript in IF written for the glulx VM.
In a few words, a game that is played on-line or off-line in a browser can call javascript code and show the results in the output shown to the player.
The trick is done with a simple modification of the "say" command.... more »

Here is the multimedia on-line version of "Aladino e le Perle di Saggezza" (Aladdin and the Pearls of Wisdom) an interactive fiction written in italian.
Well, it's possible that you're going to understand nothing of it, but I want to show an interesting combination of Inform7, Quixe and HTML5 that makes possible to play interactive fiction with hyperlinks, images and sound in an internet browser. Try to click on the highlighted words and see the effects.... more »
