That looks like a triple post to me, also I've never really done something like this so it should be interesting for me and possibly slightly traumatising with how horrible it will be but it should be good either way. So far I've been messing around with Inform and it's surprisingly difficult to make some things work like teleporters for example are being evil but it will be cool when they work.
Yeah the simple stuff, and the skeleton of a game is easy as hell.. It can take a little while to get used to making more complicated stuff though.
I dont know what you mean by teleporters, but this code makes it so the player can say port to to teleport to the other room in the game.
The lounge is a room.
The player is in the lounge.
The kitchen is a room.
Porting is an action applying to nothing.
Understand "Port" as porting.
Instead of porting when the player is in the lounge, now the player is in the kitchen.
Instead of porting when the player is in the kitchen, now the player is in the lounge.
So "Now the player is in the " moves the player.
Also, should i make a theme for everyones games to be? Or should everyone just be able to make a game with whatever theme they want?
I always wanted to make an interactive fiction, if I get more time, I'll join in! My writing is really terrible though. ;w;

Alright then here is some info. I don't really use the teleporters as such but what I do do is use them to allow multiple exists in a room, for example you've got a market and all cardinal directions leave the market or don't work but you've also got 2 or 3 booth's all of which can be entered from inside the booth's. The problem is that Inform doesn't like multiple rooms in another room and I don't want to make a more complex map every time I want something like that, it would also be useful if you wanted a hub to lead to alot of places. I've nearly got something working using containers but it's not quite working yet.
Also I'll vote for having a theme as my original thought is sadly limited to graphics based rpg's.
OK! Announcing the theme. Production should start tommorow. People can join anytime halfway through if they want too.
The theme is.... ZOMBIE POLITICS (<- Pulled out of my ass just then)
Submissions should be in by the end of MAY 10, Australian Eastern Standard time.
Also, xavion, to to that you usually need to make sections of the square for each building...

I know you'd normally use those but I want to try and avoid that as I feel it makes it clunkier and less seamless then doing something like having a food stall, a jewelry stall, and a fortune teller's tent for example with a separate part of the market for each place. I managed to figure out a way to make it work though involving one way travel, enterable containers and insteads.
However for the theme, it's interesting and should be interesting if anyone can actually come up with a good idea and pull it off particularly a way to make politics zombieish.

I have no idea what im going to be doing with the theme lol... Brainstormin time!
Edit: If you want, you could JUST use zombies or just use politics. But both would be prefered :D

I'm still trying to make Inform7 work...
It's a lot to learn.
Yeah. This is why this little competition is taking place before we bother to try making a chain game or anything. Its a learning experience. :P
I am loving this
I didn't do anything, just a crappy description that you can read by looking at thigs and the program itself is joking, oh man the creator of this program is genius XD, also I have to fix that of take trees.
Edit: also I can`t eat them, they told me that they are inedible, I am glad I didn't use java.
Forest
you are in a huge forest full of green tall trees and lots of birds
You can see some trees here.
>punch trees
Violence isn't the answer to this one.
>burn trees
This dangerous act would achieve little.
>hug trees
You can only do that to something animate.
>look trees
holy mother of god those tree sure are tall
>cut trees
Cutting those up would achieve little.
>take trees
Taken.

Yeah. Love the default actions. You can write: The Trees are edible. (It might have to be the Trees is edible. Not sure) and the trees can be eaten. Basic stuff in Inform is very easy.
Sorry, I give up on this, it is actually pretty cool (I love that they can be played on html thing, and a lot other features), but still I didn't enjoy creating a game on it, not enjoying what i do, turns thing more stressfull (more than they normally are :P), but well, I will be waiting for the other contestants games :)

So that puts it at 2 currently confirmed entrants with you leaving so don't expect too much in the way of games. What's worse is that my plot development skills seem to be struggling with this theme so all I've got so far is a game where you run around trying to eat people's brains before all the other zombies get to them first. I'm working on making a world but still don't have a plot or puzzles planned out yet as everything I think is horrible or makes it seem like it trying to not be a text based game.

Am I one of the confirmed entrants? O_o
If you want to be. :P
Anyway, im having trouble making a good game too. But ill keep working on it.

It is difficult, however I finally managed to think of a way to include a plot without really including one while also allowing for near infinite expansion if needed. It's been pretty interesting so far even with me now being up to the boring bit of creating a town and a suitable amount of people so I'm able to add my puzzles which are currently looking like they'll be about being nice or beating zombies up. Overall it's better than I expected. Also this may seem stupid but how would we go about submitting a game once it's done? as I have no idea how I'll go about it.
author=xavionUpload to locker. Give me link in PM. Or post it.

Aww, I would have entered this if I'd read the topic sooner but 4 days isn't going to be enough to make anything decent.
