Ifm (Interactive Fiction Mapper) is a language for keeping track of your
|
||
|
|
progress through an Interactive Fiction game, and a program for producing
|
||
|
|
various different sorts of output using it. You can record each room you
|
||
|
|
visit and its relation to other rooms, the initial locations of useful
|
||
|
|
items you find, and the tasks you need to perform in order to solve the
|
||
|
|
game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Ifm mapping commands are designed so that you can easily add to the map
|
||
|
|
as you explore the game. You type in the rooms you visit and the
|
||
|
|
directions you move in to reach other rooms, and Ifm calculates the
|
||
|
|
position of each room in relation to the others. A map can consist of
|
||
|
|
several independent sections, allowing you to divide up the map however you
|
||
|
|
like.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Ifm task commands, if used, allow you to specify the order in which
|
||
|
|
game-solving tasks must be done. The Ifm program can then calculate and
|
||
|
|
print different styles of walkthrough for the game.
