J7

Though I haven't been keeping up with Interactive Fiction as much as I'd like, the announcement of Inform 7 is incredible. If you haven't heard, nearly all of the programming code for a game is writing in sentences that read like normal English. I flipped through the documentation, and it seemed more or less the same in most fundamental aspects. Then I flipped through some of the examples, and my mind was blown.

Hopefully the effect will wear off. I don't know if it would be a good thing if I were more interested in reading the source code than actually playing the game.

Elsewhere, I've finally started playing Resident Evil 4. I still find the gameplay inferior to Killer 7's.

MonNYTX: 3:45. TueNYTX: 5.

You Heard It Here First.

Well, technically, you heard it at Game Set Watch first. At least I did, but I'm imagining that many of you haven't. Of course, not all of you will care, only the ones who follow IF, or followed it before 2000 at least. And it could be a joke too.

All that aside, I think the world ought to realize, that the release of Inform 7 has caused Rybread Celsius to consider returning to the world of Interactive Fiction.

Now that could be some interesting source code.
