== Description ==

Inform is an authoring system for [[interactive fiction]]. It is written and maintained by Graham Nelson, and was first introduced in 1993. It can compile to the [[Z-code]] story file format, and newer versions can also compile to the [[Glulx]] file format.

== Extensions ==

* .inf: the standard extension for an Inform source code file in a version earlier then Inform 7.

* .i7: The standard file extension for an Inform 7 source file.

* .i6: Sometimes seen to refer to Inform 6 files as opposed to Inform 7 files, usually in projects mixing both Inform 7 and Inform 6 code, and intermediate files generated by the Inform 7 natural language parser.

 '''Inform''' is an authoring system for [[Interactive Fiction]]. It is written and maintained by Graham Nelson, and was first introduced in 1993. It can compile to the [[Z-code]] story file format, and newer versions can also compile to the [[Glulx]] file format. Inform source code files are standard text files. In versions prior to Inform 7, the language is a traditional programming language. In Inform 7, a new "natural language" was introduced, allowing games to be written using simple English sentences.
