Drew Cook: Gold Machine've been saying I'd write about playtesting when I got to the end of my current Let's Make IF thing. And so I have (part 1 of 2)

today, on let's make IF...
https://topexpert.blog/2024/10/28/lets-make-if-15-disabling-unwanted-commands/
The to-do list for this project is getting shorter:
- handling responses for parser errors
- handling responses for standard rules verbs
- limiting the parser to keep focus on the main four commands
I may write something about playtesting next week, since I've gotten lots of questions about it (both for testers and authors).

With a couple of posts per week, I'm not tooting re: every update. The template is almost done, at least, I think every blank to fill in is completed.

I mentioned last time that I have two goals for the current "Portrait With Wolf" project (besides showing people how to do stuff, ofc):
1 Build a template for people to write Inform 7 "poetry" based on common visual features of a parser game's screen.
2. Do my own larger, more complex poetry project based on the template.

Busy busy! Adding abbreviations for common commands, introducing a bit of randomness, and ending a game.

did you know? you can control when title information prints and display introductory text before an Inform 7 game begins.

did you know? you can use the noun from a player's command to look up something in a table!

A busy day today! A basic "table of contents" for other tables, and some simple definitions.
