# Inform 7
|
||||
|
||||
v10.1.0-alpha.1+6Q26 'Krypton' (23 March 2020)
|
||||
|
||||
## About Inform 7
|
||||
|
||||
Inform 7 (April 2006-) is a programming language for creating interactive
|
||||
fiction, using natural language syntax. Using natural language and drawing on
|
||||
ideas from linguistics and from literate programming, Inform is widely
|
||||
used as a medium for literary writing, as a prototyping tool in the games
|
||||
industry, and in education, both at school and university level (where
|
||||
Inform is often assigned material for courses on digital narrative).
|
||||
It has several times ranked in the top 100 most influential programming
|
||||
languages according to the TIOBE index.
|
||||
|
||||
The architecture is as follows. The "front end" of Inform7 turns natural
|
||||
language source text into an intermediate representation called "Inter".
|
||||
The "back end", which can also be compiled as an independent tool also
|
||||
called Inter, performs code generation to turn inter into Inform 6 code.
|
||||
Inform 6, the final form of the original Inform project (1993-2001), then
|
||||
compiles this to a "story file" for one of two virtual machines, "Glulx"
|
||||
or "the Z-machine". On a release compilation, a further tool called Inblorb
|
||||
packages this up as a stand-alone website or download.
|
||||
|
||||
__Disclaimer__. Because this is a private repository (until the next public
|
||||
release of Inform, when it will open), its GitHub pages server cannot be
|
||||
enabled yet. As a result links marked ★ below lead only to raw HTML
|
||||
source, not to served web pages. They can in the mean time be browsed offline
|
||||
as static HTML files stored in "docs".
|
||||
|
||||
## Licence
|
||||
|
||||
Except as noted, copyright in material in this repository (the "Package") is
|
||||
held by Graham Nelson (the "Author"), who retains copyright so that there is
|
||||
a single point of reference. As from the first date of this repository
|
||||
becoming public, the Package is placed under the [Artistic License 2.0](https://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-2.0).
|
||||
This is a highly permissive licence, used by Perl among other notable projects,
|
||||
recognised by the Open Source Initiative as open and by the Free Software
|
||||
Foundation as free in both senses.
|
||||
|
||||
For the avoidance of doubt, the Author makes the further grant that users of
|
||||
the Package may make unlimited use of story files produced by the Package:
|
||||
such story files are not derivative works of Inform and do not inherit the
|
||||
Artistic License 2.0 as an obligation. (This further grant follows the
|
||||
practice of projects like bison, which also copy substantial code into
|
||||
their outputs.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Repositories
|
||||
|
||||
This is the "core repository", holding source code for the compiler, and
|
||||
for everything needed to run it on the command line. However:
|
||||
|
||||
* To build and test the compiler you also need Inweb and Intest, programs
|
||||
spun out from the Inform project. These are __not included in the core
|
||||
repository either as submodules or copies__, and have their own repositories.
|
||||
* [https://github.com/ganelson/inweb](https://github.com/ganelson/inweb), maintained by [Graham Nelson](https://github.com/ganelson)
|
||||
* [https://github.com/ganelson/intest](https://github.com/ganelson/intest), maintained by [Graham Nelson](https://github.com/ganelson)
|
||||
* Most Inform authors use Inform as an app: for example, it is available
|
||||
on the Mac App Store. While much of the UI design is the same across all
|
||||
platforms, each app has its own code in its own repository. See:
|
||||
* [https://github.com/TobyLobster/Inform](https://github.com/TobyLobster/Inform) for MacOS, maintained by [Toby Nelson](https://github.com/TobyLobster)
|
||||
* [https://github.com/DavidKinder/Windows-Inform7](https://github.com/DavidKinder/Windows-Inform7) for Windows, maintained by [David Kinder](https://github.com/DavidKinder)

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Build Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Make a directory in which to work: let's call this "work". Then:
|
||||
|
||||
* Change the current directory to "work": "cd work"
|
||||
* Build Inweb as "work/inweb": see its repository [here](https://github.com/ganelson/inweb)
|
||||
* Build Intest as "work/intest": see its repository [here](https://github.com/ganelson/intest)
|
||||
* Clone Inform as "work/inform": "git clone https://github.com/ganelson/inform.git"
|
||||
* Change the current directory to this: "cd inform"
|
||||
* Run a first-build script: "bash scripts/first.sh"
|
||||
* Check executables have compiled: "inblorb/Tangled/inblorb -help"
|
||||
* Run a single test case: "../intest/Tangled/intest inform7 -show Acidity".
|
||||
|
||||
If that passes, probably all is well. The definitive test is "make check",
|
||||
which runs nearly 2000 cases through the executables, but takes 10 minutes
|
||||
on an 8-core desktop and half an hour on a 4-core laptop (which will sound
|
||||
something like a helicopter taking off).
|
||||
|
||||

||||
**"I can't help feeling that if someone had asked me before the universe began
|
||||
how it would turn out, I should have guessed something a bit less like an old
|
||||
curiosity shop and a bit more like a formal French garden — an orderly
|
||||
arrangement of straight avenues, circular walks, and geometrically shaped
|
||||
trees and hedges."** (Michael Frayn)
|
||||
|
||||
Inform is not a single program, but an assemblage of programs and resources.
|
||||
Some, including the inform7 compiler itself, are "literate programs", also
|
||||
called "webs". The notation ★ marks these, and links are provided to
|
||||
their human-readable forms. (This will be enabled when the repository
|
||||
becomes public: GitHub Pages does not work on private repositories.)
|
||||

## Build Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Make a directory in which to work: let's call this "work". Then:
|
||||
|
||||
* Change the current directory to "work": "cd work"
|
||||
* Build Inweb as "work/inweb": see its repository [here](https://github.com/ganelson/inweb)
|
||||
* Build Intest as "work/intest": see its repository [here](https://github.com/ganelson/intest)
|
||||
* Clone Inform as "work/inform": "git clone https://github.com/ganelson/inform.git"
|
||||
* Change the current directory to this: "cd inform"
|
||||
* Run a first-build script: "bash scripts/first.sh"
|
||||
* Check executables have compiled: "inblorb/Tangled/inblorb -help"
|
||||
* Run a single test case: "../intest/Tangled/intest inform7 -show Acidity".
|
||||
|
||||
If that passes, probably all is well. The definitive test is "make check",
|
||||
which runs nearly 2000 cases through the executables, but takes 10 minutes
|
||||
on an 8-core desktop and half an hour on a 4-core laptop (which will sound

Two webs give detailed expositions of the most important built-in Inform extensions (at the subtree inform7/extensions):
|
||||
|
||||
@primary(basic_inform, 'Web of Inform 7')
|
||||
@primary(standard_rules, 'Web of Inform 7')
|
||||
|
||||
This repository also contains kits of Inter code (at the subtree inform7/Internal/Inter). These are libraries of code needed at run-time, and whose source is written in Inform 6 notation:
|
||||
|
||||
@primaryl(BasicInformKit, 'Web of Inform 6', 'Support for Inform as a programming language')
|
||||
@primaryl(WorldModelKit, 'Web of Inform 6', 'Support for modelling space, time and actions in interactive fiction')
|
||||
@primaryl(EnglishLanguageKit, 'Web of Inform 6', 'Support for English as the natural language used')
|
||||
@primaryl(CommandParserKit, 'Web of Inform 6', 'Support for parsing turn-by-turn commands in interactive fiction')
|
||||
@primaryl(BasicInformExtrasKit, 'Web of Inform 6', 'Additional support needed only if the Standard Rules are not used')
|
||||
|
||||
The inform7 subtree further contains these primary resources:
|
||||
|
||||
* inform7/Internal/Extensions - Libraries of code. Inform 7

The "resources" directory holds a number of non-executable items of use to the
|
||||
Inform UI applications, and to Inform websites:
|
||||
|
||||
@book('Changes to Inform', 'resources/Changes', 'A detailed change history of Inform 7')
|
||||
@book('Writing with Inform and the Inform Recipe Book', 'resources/Documentation', 'The main Inform documentation, as seen in the apps, and in standalone Epubs')
|
||||
* resources/Outcome Pages - Inrtps uses these to generate HTML outcome pages (such as those showing Problem messages in the app)
|
||||
* resources/Sample Projects - Two small interactive fictions, 'Disenchantment Bay' and 'Onyx', presented as samples in the app. Inform 7
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the "retrospective" directory holds ANSI C source and resources needed
|
||||
to build (some) previous versions of Inform 7. At present, this is only sketchily
|
||||
put together.
|
||||
|
||||
