Distract yourself, try Glulx instead, and maybe some plot will occur.

Whatever you come up with, Ordinal, I'd love to have a play with it!

Without a plot or a concept, all comes to naught, it is true.

Actually, you really rather need both.

that Inform looks pretty neat - I wonder if I could 'easily' make some of my Plurk adventures out of this

(which were basically nonsense and weirdness )

I enjoy beautifully written prose even without concepts or plot...I just like words....

something Arthur Conan Doyley? Doily? err.

it was a dark and stormy night...

wow, Ordinal, I'd never even heard of Inform before, but thanks to your pointer I'm looking at it now - looks really good!

Inform is quite, quite awesome.

reads the 'adventures' Tenebrous linked to and laughs.

to make them so other people can play them too with lots of obscure and random things happening just like in those Omegle chats

discovered that if you upload your .zblorb file to a server somewhere, you can run it through a web-based interpreter:

parchment.googlecode.com...

for example, here's one from the Inform7 Manual I uploaded: Play MRE example

the Main page for Parchment, the web-based interpreter

*pats*

how ordinal is doing with Inform7 ?

Well, I still do not have much in the way of plot or ideas. I will return to it all later I think.

I don't have a plot at all at the moment, but I'm playing with the technology

It is quite fun to do that, but unless one is careful, one just ends up with a few rooms with complex widgets in them to be poked a lot.

Of course, but I'm learning about the syntax etc.
