Comments on: Interactive fiction in Python ? http://omgwtfgames.com/2008/04/interactive-fiction-in-python/ games, served indie side up Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:19:04 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: perry http://omgwtfgames.com/2008/04/interactive-fiction-in-python/comment-page-1/#comment-36 perry Sun, 28 Sep 2008 03:10:43 +0000 http://gamedev.pansapiens.com/?p=15#comment-36 I took a quick look at the PAWS documentation ... it certainly does look well documented, and being written in Python means it shouldn't be too tough to integrate a PAWS interactive fiction game as a component of some other larger graphical Pygame creation. The downside is that it appears much more verbose when compared with Inform to do simple things ... but I get your point ... doing very tricky things in Inform would turn out really painful, if not impossible. I think I'll check it out PAWS properly before embarking on any serious IF project. Cheers !

I always found with both Inform and TADS that things went fine until I wanted to really do something complicated, at which point, I was out of luck, but maybe that's just me.

Inform 7 seems pretty slick ... it now comes with it's own clean and simple IDE, including great online documentation. I'm going to give Inform a "red hot go" before fiddling with other IF systems at the moment. Actually after writing this, I’ve started playing with Inform again.
