@w omg! Welcome to the ranks. Arguably you'll gain some functionality, but lose modern libraries if you use #Inform6. For example, implementing a turing machine in #inform6 is way easier than in #inform7. (I had this challenge with my friend almost a decade ago lol).
What I find crazy is how the top three tweets that got synced to my instance of yours are:
- Privacy
- Inform
- NixHow are humans so similar lol.

I now realize that I've spent so much time thinking about and responding to shortcomings in #Inform7's documentation that I've failed to apprehend the state of affairs with #Inform6.

Here's the DM4. It's current as of last millennium before Glulx existed, i.e., Inform 6 6.21 and the I6 6/10 library. Here are the errata that have never been integrated. Here's the Reference Addendum discussing changes to the compiler since then, including everything to do with Glulx.

Learning a new language: #Inform7. Going to write a simple text adventure for my 6-year-old (to play with some assistance).
What a weird language. I think I like it though. It is, at the very least, a tremendous improvement over #inform6.
I can't help but think that #Haskell would be an excellent language in which to write #interactiveFiction . However, I don't have the time to write a whole library for it.
It seems like a lot of modern #TextAdventure authoring systems target web. Sigh.

Doing my part for IF Source Code Amnesty day: I've uploaded the source code for my games Flight of the Hummingbird (2010) and Atrocitron (2016) to the archive. They haven't made it to their final spots in the archive yet, but in the meantime I wrote an article about some of the sillier things I did while writing them.
In the meantime, they're at https://ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archive/unprocessed/ but that link won't stay valid for long.

The #Inform7 #sourceCode for my two released #parser #TextAdventure / #InteractiveFiction games (Border Reivers and Napier's Cache) is now in the #IFArchive, in the games/source/inform directory. This is part of a move this year to release more IF game source code publicly. http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archive/games/source/inform/ #ComputerGames #Adventure #HistoricalGames #ScottishGames #Code #GameDev

I knew that many of @zarfeblong 's games' source code was on the IF Archive. But I only just learned that his website has the source for all his #Inform7 and #Inform6 games (even, egad, #Inform5 games), and most of the others, save Hadean Lands.
This includes the new short IF game Advent Mirror.

(...except for I6 game The Space Under the Window, whose source was lost)
