Ebook: Inform 7 Handbook

This book makes no claim to being the ultimate guide to Inform 7. On the contrary: A number of topics that experienced Inform authors (or new authors who envision unusual types of gameplay) may want or need to know about simply aren’t included in The Inform 7 Handbook, or are mentioned only in passing. The purpose of this book is to give first-time authors the kind of information and insight that they’ll need in order to start using Inform 7 to produce parser-based interactive fiction in its most familiar form, without getting tangled up in a lot of complexities. (If you don’t know what I mean by “parser-based,” keep reading.) This version of the Handbook is current with respect to version 6L38 of Inform 7, and may not be accurate with respect to older or more recent versions.
