All right, so most of you don't know (or care) about modern Interactive Fiction. The whole reading/no pictures thing really turns a lot of people off. And most people still think of it as puzzle fest treasure hunts like Zork. Modern IF, however, is the closest thing we've got to videogame art right now. Combining interactivity with the depth of the written word.
I love the stuff. But I can't write it. The programing langue was always too hard to get into. You had to define locations as rooms, things as objects, and then all the complex interactions between them and the player. But now after three years in the making Inform 7 has been released. And it's AMAZING. Instead of learning some complex programing language, you type in english sentices and the program turns them into the game.
It's almost magical. You write the world, and it is instantly created. Mind blowing! It's like a real life application of The Art in Myst.
Even if your not interested in IF, but have anything to do with programing CHECK THIS OUT.
