Inform is a design system for interactive fiction, enabling authors to create text-based adventure games and stories. It provides a high-level programming language and development environment to define game mechanics, narrative structures, and player interactions.
About Inform
Inform was created in 1993 by Graham Nelson. It was developed to enable the creation of interactive fiction, specifically for generating stories compatible with the Z-machine virtual machine used by Infocom games. Inform evolved over time, becoming a comprehensive tool for writing and designing text-based adventures.
Inform's strengths include its powerful natural language-like syntax, extensive library for interactive fiction, and strong community support. Weaknesses involve a steep learning curve for beginners and limited graphical capabilities. Competitors include Twine, TADS, and ChoiceScript.
