1 This started as an idea from Max [0] but I'm thinking to take it in a
2 different direction, without the editor role so there isn't an overall
3 plan. People submit contributions to develop the game and story in
4 whatever direction they wish, although please try to coordinate with
5 each other. It will be interesting to see the different directions
6 that people take this in!

13 The recommended way to get a copy of this game is a recursive clone:
15 git clone --recursive https://jxself.org/git/viable-idea.git
17 This will clone all submodules recursively. If you did not perform a
18 recursive clone, once you have a copy of this git repository you will
19 also need the source code for the standard library:
21 git submodule update --init --recursive
23 To compile this game you will also need my modified version of the
24 Inform compiler from https://jxself.org/git/?p=inform.git
26 Once the compiler has been compiled and is ready for use return to
27 this directory and run:
29 inform +include_path=lib src/viable-idea
31 Or you can run the included build.sh script which does the same thing,
32 assuming that the inform compiler is included in your PATH.
34 You will then get the story file for this game that can be run using
35 any appropriate Z-Machine interpreter, such as Frotz. Your GNU/Linux
36 distro probably has that packaged already for easy installation.
38 A great big thanks to David Griffith for keeping Inform 6 alive.
