The Bill of Rights has been reprinted in a guide to creating IF
somewhere. It's not "The Craft of Adventure", but I have read it.
There's a link to it from Gareth's Inform web page (but I don't remember
the address). Sorry I can't be more help/
JL>Anyway, the second thing. There's that game I mentioned. While it won't be
JL>be my first piece of if (I've game mastered for 13 years and that is in
JL>fact interactive, rather than a simulation), it will be my first computer
JL>game. I'm a writer, not a programmer, EE degree notwithstanding.
You'll find that the writing is a lot different from GMing. :-) I
found that out as soon as I started writing mine.
JL>Now I want to use Inform, since it's a good system, and I can play the
JL>games on my Amiga. However, the manual is 1) not available in ASCII
JL>format on the if-archive and 2) very very long--too long to print--and
JL>pretty complicated from what I could muck out of the TeX version.
It will be available soon (I hope). Somebody's translating it now.
