Puny Inform 5.0 Released

Puny Inform

From Fredrik Ramsberg:

PunyInform v5.0 is out! Some highlights:

  • Cheap scenery extension has several improvements, like conditionally adding some scenery, making it easy to let some objects be “them”-objects (i.e. the player can “EXAMINE CURTAINS. PULL THEM”, and a debug verb to find problems.
  • Talk menu extension has some improvements, like removing the need for initialization, and defaulting to printing quote marks around what characters say.
  • Flags extension has two new functions, to easily check if any of 2-3 flags are set or clear, e.g. if (AnyFlagIsSet(F_DOG_ATE_HOMEWORK, F_MARTIANS_LANDED)) ....

We try to avoid breaking changes in PunyInform, but every once in a while we feel the benefit makes it worth it. When this happens, we typically increase the major version number, like now. This version does have some breaking changes – be sure to read the notes on upgrading in the release notes! https://github.com/johanberntsson/PunyInform/releases
