Technical Development

Development Systems Have a question about a development system or resource? Hacking the code of the compiler? Here’s the place to discuss all these and more. If you’re announcing a newly released resource, tool, or system, you can do so in Announcements > Systems & Resources Inform Extensions Discussion for Inform 7 Extensions. Tools Discuss the development and use of general existing IF tools here such as: mapping tools, library or packaging software, disassemblers, etc. Specifications Formal specifications in many IF development systems enable alternative software implementations. Interpreters Working on a new interpreter for an IF system? Porting one to a new OS? Having trouble installing or using one? This is the place for discussion.
