The latest build of Inform 7 is now up. The main changes are technical in nature, mostly to do with internal reforms related to the compiler. some improvements have been made to how definitions are created, “rather than” is now possible so it is much easier to code them. For instance (taken from the change log):
Definition: a number is even rather than odd if the remainder after dividing it by 2 is 0.
Finally, scenes can be given properties and they can be tested for. As a release, it’s not hugely improved, but many bugs have been fixed pertaining to rule-book management and compiler optimisation. For those people who experienced speed issues compiling under 5T18, these have been fixed.
As usual, it can be downloaded from the usual site.
