Inform 7 Indexing

Inform 7 has an already installed indexing system. The indexing system is very useful for larger games as it can help the person find what they are looking for very quickly.

The indexing system can be used relatively quickly and can be very effective. But believe it or not, mostr people don't know about this indexing system. Thus the people that don't know about spend most of thier time trying to find the part they wawnt. Which can take up valued time. So that is why I will be telling you, how to access this easy and quick to use index.

First off you have to know that you must include in every chapter, valume or section and specify that it is a sort of part within your game. This makes it easier for the maker of the game to find what they are lokking for and realy quickly.

In every part you creat, (mostly every room, that's what I do). You must say it is a section within your game. Or inform 7 won't pick up that it is actually there. With this quick and easy tutorial you will be able to quickly and effectivly, solve the problem you face within your game.

When you have finished and completed the sectioning and chapter editing, you must go to the content tab at the top of your source coding. Click that and you can see the chapters and sections you have made. With the slider down the bottom of the contense tab put it on recognise all, and it will show you ever little thing about you game.

When clicking on one of these you can quickly find the text your looking for. It will appear in front of you.

So I hope this helped you.

Thanks,
