The time of day is 11:45 PM. When play begins: adjust the dials; clear the tape; change the right hand status line to "[time of day]"; say "You have almost reached the end of your shift. All that remains is to clean one final room, the control room for that weird contraption being built by the scientists here. [paragraph break]Carrying your usual equipment, you open the door and step into...". Asking for information is an action out of world. Understand "about" or "help" as asking for information. Report asking for information: say "'Why?' you might ask. [paragraph break]Good question. This was written as a break from an actual project I was working on (which is itself a break from what I really should be doing) and as practice with Inform 7. It was written sporadically over two days in May 2006 and has not been beta-tested, so it is probably less than perfect. But it seems to work.[paragraph break]And if anyone ever asks you if Inform 7 is Turing Complete, well, here you are.[paragraph break]Thanks go to Graham Nelson, Emily Short, Andrew Hunter, David Kinder, and everyone else involved with the creation of Inform 7, and to everyone who has answered my questions on raif.[paragraph break]Currently, the game(?) and source code are available at www.math.psu.edu/clemens/IF/Turing, and you can email me at jdc20@psu.edu.[paragraph break]Enjoy.[paragraph break]-JDC[paragraph break]".
