I came here at MarnixKlooster's suggestion. I think that the concept of patterns could be a good way of defining some of our concepts in the IF community.

My current contributions to the InteractiveFictionPatterns? pages:

• Added example pattern about doors to InteractiveFictionPatterns? (InteractiveFictionTransporter?)
• Wrote InteractiveFictionPuzzleHint? (An IF pattern about how to provide hints for games)
• Wrote InteractiveFictionGiveTheGrammar? (Another pattern about prompting the player)
• Compiled InteractiveFictionRope? and InteractiveFictionRopeTips?
• Started InteractiveFictionInformTips?
• Compiled InteractiveFictionLinearityVsBreadth?

My current contributions to the I-F World in general:

• 'InvisiClues' for 'So Far': http://www.bioc.rice.edu/~lpsmith/IF/sofar.html
• "The Edifice: An Interactive Allegory", my entry for the 1997 InteractiveFictionContest? (which came in first! Wheee!). Release 2 is at ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/infocom/edifice.z5
• "Competition '97", a front-end 'game' that allows people to randomize and rate the 35 games from the '97 IF Competition. You can find it at: ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/competition97/comp97.z5

(You'll need an interpreter to play the two .z5 games--see the FAQ at ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/playgame.FAQ section 6.3, Inform)
