		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on a project for this year&#8217;s Interactive Fiction Competition (IFComp 2010).  It&#8217;s one that I started as kind of a small palate-cleanser after last year&#8217;s Comp, intended to be a quickie adventure for my son.  As I worked through the idea and setting, however, I realized that there was more there than I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent releases of both the in-browser Glulx interpreter Quixe, and the newest Inform 7 Build 6E72, it was pretty obvious that I&#8217;d have to upgrade.  Sure, theoretically it would be possible to stick with the last version of Inform and manually roll out a playable website for my WIP.  But why turn down [...]]]></description>

So I&#8217;m going to upgrade immediately after posting this! With luck, you won&#8217;t notice any differences. I&#8217;ll edit this post with my impressions of the new upgrade&#8230; &#8230; and yeah, no visible differences in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a surge of holiday-weekend coding, Andrew Plotkin (Zarf) has progressed his Quixe project to the beta stage and released it for evaluation.  If you&#8217;re very familiar with the excellent Parchment project, you&#8217;ll know that Parchment provides a Javascript implementation of the Z-machine, which is one of the major virtual machines used in the interactive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are several ways to approach writing complex behavior in Inform 7.  Two common ones are what I&#8217;ll call &#8220;action oriented&#8221; and &#8220;subject oriented&#8221;.  It might make more sense to use &#8220;object oriented&#8221;, but that term already has enough associated connotation and confusion. The &#8220;action oriented&#8221; style seems to be the one used most consistently [...]]]></description>
