Bubbling Beaker Awards (Award #33, February 07 2025)

This week’s prize, Bubbling Beaker Award® #7 is presented to @drpeterbatesuk, who is the kind of quiet, diligent mad scientist who not only builds fabulous doomsday devices but also releases high-quality spec sheets and do-it-yourself guides for the general public. His award-winning post demonstrates how to smuggle I6 code deemed illegal in Inform 10.1.2 past the compiler’s inspection for contraband instructions. (Think of it as a “jailbreak” for 10.1.2.)

By virtue of this invention’s particular combination of deviousness and utility, the award is also granted the distinction of being Peer Revued™.

Congratulations, drpeterbatesuk! This marks your second award. I look forward to the discussion!
