Hello ports --
Attached is a new pair of ports: games/inform6/compiler and
games/inform6/library. Combined, these two ports provide the dev tools
for compiling interactive fiction games for the Z-Machine
interpreters. Since they are so tightly coupled, I figured it made
sense to put them under one directory.

pkg/DESCR for games/inform6/compiler:
Inform 6 is an object-oriented language for writing interactive fiction,
also known as "text adventures" or "adventure games".
As an interactive fiction developer, you create Inform 6 source code
defining the story. Then compile from source code to a "story file". The
resulting story files are highly portable, with interpreters available
for many different platforms.
This package contains the Inform 6 compiler.
The Inform 6 compiler can produce a story file in these formats:
* Z-code, executed by implementations of the Infocom Z-machine.
* Glulx, a modern platform for interactive fiction.
---
I took the DESCR for both from the Debian package description.
You can find some sample games here:
https://inform-fiction.org/examples/index.html
You can compile them by running:
inform +/usr/local/share/inform Game.inf
Which you can then run using games/frotz.
OK?
