Are you *sure* that Alan is too difficult for you?
Don't be put off by reading the manual and trying
to absorb it all at once - just start with something
simple.
Used in the simplest way, Alan can be very, very
straightforward. I don't think an IF language
could be any simpler and still be an IF language.
Producing IF is going to require some effort on
your part. But you don't have to learn everything
before you begin. Give Alan another go, and
actually try doing something simple with it.
I suspect you'll find it's easier than you think.

No, Alan is as simple as it gets while still
being useful. It's much more user-friendly
than TADS or Inform. Give it a go!
