Title: Extensions
|
|
Author: Graham Nelson
|
|
|
|
@ An "extension" is a supplementary piece of Inform 7 source text. Inform
|
|
programs sometimes explicitly ask for these, with sentences like so:
|
|
|
|
>> Include Locksmith by Emily Short.
|
|
|
|
The standard Inform installation comes with several optional-use extensions,
|
|
"Locksmith" being one of them, in fact, but most are straightforward files
|
|
of Inform 7 text and they are not presented here as literate programs.
|
|
|
|
(*) They can be found instead at: //https://github.com/ganelson/inform/tree/master/inform7/Internal/Extensions
|
|
|
|
@ Two extensions are fundamental to Inform, in the sense that it cannot function
|
|
without them. Every project always includes Basic Inform, which sets up the
|
|
rudiments of the language itself. Every non-basic project also includes the
|
|
Standard Rules, which provides a rich simulated environment for interactive
|
|
fiction. Both of these are presented here as literate programs:

|
|
|
|
@ Historical note: What used to be a single "Standard Rules" extension, in
|
|
releases of Inform before 2022, has now been divided up into two. The new
|
|
"Standard Rules" contains only IF-related material, while "Basic Inform"
|
|
contains the part which used to set up the language itself.
