Dear all, so I have this Inform 6 INF file, and it compiles to a Z8 file which I can play with e.g. Gargoyle. That’s about all I know about compiling. Now I’d love to make the game available on my webspace. I know I have to use Parchment, but beyond that I’m clueless. I’m certain I’m not the first …

I think a lot of the material from those threads is now obsolete. To address the original question, much depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you just want your game to be playable on iplayif.com : Upload your game file (Z8 / blorb / gblorb / whatever) somewhere. (Preferably the IF Arc…

Can someone also direct to instructions for Inform 7 in Parchment? And how to get it on the PlayIF site if you don’t have a webpage?

Speaking of iplayif/Parchment, I don’t see ScottFree/ScottKit interpreter included. Unfortunately, I let my I6 skill become rusty, so if I participate at all, it’s going to be ScottKit. I’m not sure how easy to get/common that interpreter is.

Okay need to install Python. Otherwise everything looks feasible so far.

To make a game playable with iplayif.com it just needs to be anyplace on the web directly accessible by a plain URL (i.e., with no logins or agreeing to terms of services or anything involved) and then you just construct an iplayif URL and add the game URL as described here .

So I have installed Python 3.7.9 (still running WIndows 7 on THIS computer) but when I open a DOS window and enter “python game2js.py yourgame.z5 > yourgame.z5.js” the result is “The command ‘python’ is spelled incorrectly or could not be found.”.

game2js.py, in particular, is obsolete, and no longer needed.

Neither does my DOS command line know the command “python3”, nor do I have a ULX file. I am clueless.

What’s the URL to your game file?

Parchment
