প্রকল্প সম্পর্কে

Inform 7 is a programming language designed for creating interactive fiction, distinguished by its natural language syntax. Drawing on ideas from linguistics and literate programming, it serves as a medium for literary writing, a prototyping tool in the games industry, and an educational resource for digital narrative courses. The core software distribution includes the compiler and command-line tools, all written as literate programs to maintain human-readable code alongside the source. Key components include `inform7` (the compiler), `inbuild` (a build and package manager), `inter` (for handling intermediate code), and `inblorb` (for packaging story files). The repository also contains essential extensions like Basic Inform and Standard Rules, along with runtime kits for various platforms and languages. While the core is command-line based, independent repositories exist for macOS, Windows, and Linux apps. The project emphasizes a structured evolution process, with bug tracking and proposals managed separately, and supports retrospective builds for compatibility with past versions.
