Hello! I am glad to be on a list with a bunch of other interactive fiction programmers and players. Knowing how long IF games have been around, I can say this; I am a newbie. I started teaching myself computer programming in 2006, and interest in game development came up in 2007. I never really thought about interactive fiction until either late 2011 or early 2012. I love playing games on the Choose Your Own Adventure Editthis Info site, which I will be writing an article about on this website. My favorite IF games are the web browser kind (which all games on the CYOA Editthis Info site are), because you don't need to download any virtual consoles). I'm thinking about downloading the thing that plays Inform Z files (Z5, Z8, etc.) whatever it's called. Z-code, I believe! I like making in-browser games, and am planning on making one using the general-purpose language JavaScript. Maybe if I do it just right, I can win a XYZZY. I always wondered what made IfComp different than IntroComp or XYZZY. BTW, I won at [[Wasteland]]!!!

Hello! This is IF author Tyler Zahnke, believe it or not. I am glad to be on a list with a bunch of other interactive fiction programmers and players. Knowing how long IF games have been around, I can say this; I am a newbie. I started teaching myself computer programming in 2006, and interest in game development came up in 2007. I never really thought about interactive fiction until either late 2011 or early 2012. I love playing games on the Create Your Own Adventure site. My favorite IF games are the web browser kind (which all games on the above-mentioned site are), because you don't need to download any virtual consoles). I'm thinking about downloading the Z-machine that plays Inform Z files (Z5, Z8, etc.). I like making in-browser games. I have made games using the general-purpose languages HTML, JavaScript, and even MediaWiki. Maybe if I do it just right, I can win a XYZZY.
