Interactive Fiction Workshop 1
First of all, Hot Text is in the bookstore now. Please pick it up -- there will be a reading assignment due Oct 6.
Today's class builds on Moira's introduction to interactive fiction.
I will pass out a one-page guide to using IF; there are several such resources online.
Download IF.zip and save it to a temporary space. Right-click on the icon and choose "Extract All." Extract the compressed files to "I:/EL236/IF". In that folder, double-click on WinFrotz. In WinFrotz, select "File, Open New Story," and then find the file "I:\EL236\IF\booth.z5".
When you've finished that, we'll try "905.z5".
