Re: Interactive Fiction goes Hi-Tech

Sounds very interesting indeed.. but I am having so much FUN with inform right now, and how easy it is to use that I am well into programming my own single player RPG game at the moment.

There is a rather good piece of code on the inform website called The Reliques of Tolti-Aph which was crafted as an example yet is so brilliantly written it has a complete spell casting, combat system built in (W&W) with elements, targeting and so on.

Just look at how the programmer makes the system understand and be able to handle terms like 2d20+2 or any random dice combination you want in 2-3 easy to understand sentences.

There are already brilliant WEather, Atmopheric, Time extensions that can handle seasons, times of day, random events.

Sorry. rambling...
