Inform 7 Notes — 2 of 35

Volume - Setup

Release along with an interpreter, cover art, the source text and the library card.

After reading a command when the player's command matches the regular expression "^\p|^\*" (this is the ignore beta-comments rule): say "(noted)"; reject the player's command.

To say debug: (- #ifdef DEBUG; -). To say end debug: (- #endif; -).

Use American dialect.

Rule for deciding whether all includes scenery: it does not.

The story headline is "A Metareflective Talk Environment".

When play begins, say "You enter the Inform Virtual Institute, passing under the sign with the ivy-leaf logo. The security door locks behind you---you're here for the day..."

After printing the banner text, say "[paragraph break]Copyright (c) 2012 Bart Massey[paragraph break]This text 'adventure' is both the 'slides' for my talks on Inform 7 and a couple of demo apps.[paragraph break]One demo app, a Nim player, is also included as an example in my extension Bitwise Operators by Bart Massey. The other demo app is a more traditional text adventure puzzle.[paragraph break]The Briefing Room uses my Books extension (developed with André Rodriguez) that provides fairly elaborate book behavior. To see the talk slides, say 'read book' and keep saying 'read' until you're done. Say 'help' for further meta-information.[paragraph break]"

The maximum score is 2.

The player is in the Dingy Corridor.
