Hmmm. I've always been opposed to things that do something that had been
done before. Unless the games you develop will be targeted for windows
only, I might instead propose a graphical interface to Inform (preferably)
or TADS.
The interface which I am imagining would allow you to create rooms by
filling in a series of blanks, then create items, daemons, etc. in the
same manner. Then, generate a text .inf file from your various fields, and
then auto-launch the compiler.
You could even take it and then munge the ZIP interpreter to work
specifially with that file!
In closing, I feel that the IF community is too small to support yet
another development language when there are already two very competent
ones around. This particulary applies if the target system is a single
platform. I heartily believe that the community would support a tool that
made using one of the existing languages more useful...
PS: I am considering doing this very thing for the Macintosh and INFORM.
