I7 Thing Creator

beta 2 / 08/01/10

Fill out the form below and a structure of a thing in Inform 7 code is automatically created to the end of the page, where it can be copy-pasted into the Inform 7 IDE.

Please note that the purpose of this script is to give a tool to create a framework of a thing; it's a checklist of default responses for the thing. Any deeper implementation will have to be done in Inform 7 itself.
