I’m planning a graphical adventure and Inform 7 is what I would like to use. I looked at several posts here and figured out some basic ways to display images. Except, I would like to be sure I can correctly setup some initial rules that I never have to change throughout the game.
First of all, I will have an image for each and every location.
One post mentions to setup variables for the figures, so you don’t have to write a rule for each room. I don’t know how to do this, can someone please show me.
So for example, I have a TEST game that has 5 rooms Room1 Room2 … Room5
I will have 5 Figures, mypic1 mypic2 … mypic5
So in a blank story, what can I setup initially to have the pictures show up in each room as the player enters. I will of course add more rooms, so when I add something, I will want the code for the pictures at the beginning, so I think this is what was meant by setting up variables.
Extensions in the Public Library (such as these two) are assumed to be well-tested and stable for the latest version of Inform 7 (6L38). Occasionally bugs are found, but they’re usually very specific and obscure things. Ones in the Github repo are considered a bit more experimental, and range from “I’m testing this now if anyone wants to help me out” to “everything works but I don’t want to commit to maintaining this in the Public Library yet”.
