To compile this game first pull in my modified version of the Inform standard library: git submodule init git submodule update You also need to have my modified version of the Inform compiler. See https://jxself.org/git/?p=inform.git to download and install the compiler on your system. Once the compiler has been compiled and is ready for use return to this directory and run: inform +include_path=lib the-mall Or you can run the included build.sh script which does the same thing. You will then get the story file for this game that can be run using any appropriate Z-Machine interpreter, such as Frotz. Your GNU/Linux distro probably has that packaged already for easy installation. -- Copyright (C) 2019 Jason Self This file is free software: you may copy, redistribute and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
