Welcome, eager audience member. You, too, are part of the show!
This thread is for audience commentary on the pilot episode of Iron ChIF. If you’d like to cheer, crack jokes, make observations or ask questions, please do! I’ll be monitoring this thread and bringing relevant questions and comments to the attention of the judges and technical advisor.
Keep an eye out for these key dates:
Sun Nov 09 – development period begins
Fri Nov 14 – development period ends, finished games released for play
Sun Nov 16 – judges’ scoring announced, audience voting begins
Tue Nov 18 – audience voting ends, winner declared
That’s right! Unlike the TV show, for Iron ChIF your votes will determine which competing chef prevails. The judges’s scoring will be used only as a tiebreaker in the event that the audience vote results in a tie.

As first “forchettata” (uh, I can’t find a good english term…) is very palatable to me, about Galatea and the problem of NPC and love relationship, both being key element in my major WIP.
I’m not buying his argumentation on switching from T3 TO i7/10, because I’m firmly convinced that offline 'terps is a very valid medium for parser IF, and both language has excellent offline 'terps and has their strenght points, and what should be the first step after deciding the plot and narrative ought to be the selection of the IF language (and library) most appropriate for said plot & narrative. (side point, for limited parser narrative, I think that ALAN should be the ideal language because is damn easy to limit the parser…)
but for now I’ll wait for the main dish, to be delivered next week
I actually went on a tiny dive to figure out a good English translation. Most internet dictionaries render it as “forkful”, and it would make sense, as (if my research is correct) forchetta (noun, feminine) means a fork. However, I’m not sure if “forkful” is a common enough English word; “spoonful” would perhaps be more common. Both refer to the amount of food a particular utensil can hold, though it seems like through some metaphorical associations, “spoonful” remains more popular. Could it be because of a higher status of a fork in Italian culture? I have no idea.
All the best from Poland,
Naarel
PS: looking forward to all that’s going to be cooked for Iron ChIF, seems interesting
It’s surely not a coincidence that Iron Chef Dialog published their Automap extension less than 24 hours ago. Is this an implied challenge to @Pacian to use it against them?
When I finally read the plaque on the installation/wishing well at my library the other day, I discovered it has a Sumerian theme. Draconis immediately teleported into my brain.
larger dialog projects will run surprisingly well on C64 (via the Aa-machine 6502 interpreter). but not on the others. maybe someday there will be more interpreters out there.
I’m staying out of this thread in general, but I feel compelled to say one thing:
You absolutely shouldn’t apologize for this. One of my WIPs has a puzzle involving following an ancient Hittite recipe to bake iyatti bread. I’m not beating the allegations here.
Yes. The show occurs in this topic and commentary upon it goes on the other topic. This is to keep this topic 100% The Show for ease of reading at any time without any diversions.
