Another wet weekend, another #Vezza release! I was asked to adapt my #Infocom interpreter to another platform - this time the #SinclarQL. An interesting request as it uses a #Motorola 68008 CPU, however, it does have the ability to emulate a #z80 on #CP/M. I was given some pointers on which versions worked to some extent, along with some documentation. Fast forward a few days and I had adapted one of the VT52 versions crossed with other features, and now #Sinclair QL users can enjoy in CP/M mode their #Inform #ZMachine adventures. Yes, there's a native terp as well, however, this was only a few days worth of massaging to get it to work on the SUCCESS CP/M Emulator - the proof is in the screen shots. You can download the executable here gitlab.com/sijnstra1/vezza/ #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Inform 7 source code for my IFComp game "Bad Beer" is now freely available in the IFArchive. It is also linked from Bad Beer's IFDB game web page. April 1 is Source Code Amnesty Day for interactive fiction games. More info about my release in my intfiction forum post intfiction.org/t/source-code-a #Inform #interactiveFiction #game #coding #GameDev #IndieGames #sourceCode #IFComp

The Interactive Fiction Community Forum · Source Code Amnesty Day 2025Bad Beer’s Inform 7 source code is in IFArchive and linked from the IFDB game page: The source code is presented in its original untidied form. Rather devoid of comments 😜 Using chapters to break up the game. And within each chapter broken down further into locations, NPCs and scenes. There’s also an “Extra coding” section at the end, implementing a few extra things. The code is pretty standard stuff. The only points of possibly particular interest are: The use...

Ukraine, The Alternate Truth



#^https://www.bitchute.com/video/y1yqRo2ZF6eG/

A #documentary that presents the #conflict in Ukraine in a bit different light, built in a time line from 1930 until today with intent to #inform us on #historical #facts for us to build our own opinions.
Every statement is backed with real #evidence, video footage, statements, phone calls.

A must see documentary ~ For the world to see the truth!

One of the things I'm hoping to do with my latest Bubble Gumshoe mystery is to expand Sugar City and unite the environments from the previous games. Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata? will feature the crime scenes from both Who Shot Gum E. Bear? and Who Iced Mayor McFreeze? Also, as with those previous instalments, you'll be able to taste and smell way more of the setting than is probably sensible.

A screenshot from Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata?, a parser-based text adventure written in Inform. It reads: Alley A dim, dank, narrow pathway between the adult bookstore and Candy Kane's Club. Some dumpsters stand against a wall. There is a distinctive sticky stain on the concrete here. The alley is a dead end to the north, opening onto the street to the south: to the southwest is Demerara Street, and to the southeast is Demerara and Caster. Emergency exits from the club and bookstore open onto the alley from the west and east respectively. >taste stain You prostrate yourself on the filthy tarmac in the alley and lick at the stain on the ground with your tongue like a dog. Strawberry flavour - but you already knew that. Rest in peace, Gum E. Bear.

Back to #interactiveFiction #game #coding, in #Inform, an almost magical natural language / declarative / object oriented #programming language for traditional parser interactive fiction games. I'm in early stages of my next game, but getting stuck in. Luckily for flighty me I have 7 main sections of game that I can work on independently. So can flit about as much as want to, depending on which bit(s) I feel inspired to work on at a time. #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #TextGame #TextAdventure
