Woohoo! I finally figured out how to implement a puzzle in I7 (refer to the last paragraph of this post if you don't know what I'm talking about). Instead of messing around with the original game in which I'm planning the puzzle for, I wrote a small test game which had just that puzzle so I wouldn't get distracted with other types of debugging errors.
Anyways, I'm sure this is all old hat to programmers. I sort of wish there was an aspect of IF which was geared more towards people interested in using the medium to push the boundaries of fiction rather than code. Sure, I7 is already light years ahead of I6 in terms of accessibility, but I'd like something more in the vein of IF programming for dummies. You know, for people who've never even looked at the source code for a web page let alone done any programming.
