    What Hacker News says

      Aaron Reed has a terrific book, "Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7" (http://inform7.textories.com) that walks you through building a complete (and fairly sophisticated) text adventure.

      Inform 7 is very much a niche programming language, but it's really interesting and unusual, well worth investigating if you want to broaden your horizons. Vaguely Prolog-like, but written in natural language.

      I can recommend the book "Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7" - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creating-Interactive-Fiction-Inform-... - it walks through the process of creating a quite complex game and has some useful recipes and examples.
