For more information see http://www.catseye.mb.ca/esoteric/befunge/index.html Inform is a compiler/library for Interactive Fiction (text adventure games). There is a renaissance of text adventure games; they blossomed again in the early 90s, and there are many excellent, modern and free games, some reaching the same quality as professional works from the 1980s. Inform creates Z machine game files, which are the same format as Infocom used for their games, and they run on most computer platforms (including palmtops). For more information see www.inform-fiction.org ZBefunge is a Befunge interpreter, written using the Inform compiler, and runs on any Z machine.
