"Three Rooms" by "Jennifer Santoni" [You have to specify that the first room is actually a room.] house is a room. "[one of]a two story brick house on a main road. the back yard is littered with trees and a small playground. cars fly past house, ignoring the speed limit[or]you are in house[stopping]. to get to school, type 'n'." [Using "one of" you can have a whole chain of things which are said to the player, each separated by [or]. Once you've gone along the chain, the last one will always be displayed. Notice how "it's time for school" is outside the "stopping" instruction, so it's always displayed.] [Now that inform knows that house is a room, it can deduce that other objects related to it are also rooms.] school is north of house. "[if school is unvisited]you’re at school. the walls are white cinderblock and the fluorescent lights tint your skin translucent. the hallways are too small for the number of people that go here. as you make your way through school, you’re shoved around like a pinball by all of the other students. [else]you are in school. [end if]type 'e' to go to class, or 's' to go home." [here, the "if .... is unvisited" does exactly the same as the "one of" construction did, except that one is counting the number of visits, while this one is a true/false option (sometimes called a "flag".] [I find it's easier to place new rooms in relation to the rooms you've already made.] classroom is east of school. "[first time]you met a new friend here a few months ago. you have 1st period psych with her and the friend that introduced the two of you. as you enter, they look you up and down, ostebsibly annoyed. you're worried that you've done something wrong, but are afraid to ask. [only]students shuffle papers around on their desks. type 'w' to go back into the hallway.". Julie is a woman in the classroom. The initial appearance of julie is "[one of]hi[or]you[or]fucker[cycling]".
