I7: Can I increase the maximal length of the player's command?
|
| |
I just threw this into the source of an Inform 7 story: After reading a command: Say the player's command; continue the action. I expected that the game would then repeat back whatever I typed, but instead it repeated back only the first 120 characters of what I typed. 120 characters are not enough for this game. No, I don't have... more »

Glulx styles, Nov 30
|
| |
So my position last spring was that I would hammer out Quixe (the Javascript Glulx interpreter) and then use that as a lab bench for designing a good style system.

I7: Pronouns in Player's Input
|
| |
I never use pronouns when playing IF, so I tend not to notice when "it" or "they" is referring to the wrong object in a game I'm writing. Searching the Documentation for the word "pronoun", I find almost nothing -- in particular, there doesn't seem to be a description of how the parser goes about interpreting pronouns, much less any indication of... more »

I7 : Glulx Text Effects, Better Ways to Word It (in Source Text)
|
| |
There is a question lurking here but I want to provide context first as to why I'm asking it. Here's the context: In looking at some notes from a class about how "easy" it was to apply Glulx styles, it becomes really obvious that what people want is something simple like this: now the text color is dark red;... more »
