A work of interactive fiction created by Joey & Charity Parrish for the GitHub Game Off 2020.
Created with Inform 7.
You play as a NASA intern in the 1960s, working on the Apollo 11 project.
Everything goes very well, and you have no difficulties at all. 😁
To play the latest official release version, visit https://joeyparrish.github.io/moonshot/
You can either load the folder MoonShot.inform into the Inform IDE, or you can build on the command-line. You can install Inform from http://inform7.com/downloads/ if you don't already have it.
For command-line builds on Linux using Docker (no Inform installation
required), just type make. (For this, you must have Docker, of course.)
The HTML output goes to MoonShot.materials/Release/.
The project structure is more or less dictated by Inform 7, so if you are unfamiliar with Inform, you may find it hard to locate the relevant source files.
The main story source is in MoonShot.inform/Source/story.ni. It relies on
several extensions, some of which are standard, some of which were installed
into the sources, and some of which were written expressly for this project.
Extensions are like source modules or libraries in Inform, and can be found in
MoonShot.materials/Extensions/. The extensions written explicitly for this
project are all in MoonShot.materials/Extensions/Joey Parrish/, and were
mainly used to organize the source code and keep the non-story elements out of
the main source file.
Other assets, including CSS, cover art, and other associated, non-story
content, can all be found in the MoonShot.materials/ folder. A general HTML
wrapper for browser-based interactive fiction games by Chicken Noodle Soap can
be found in the cns/ folder.
The final HTML output goes to MoonShot.materials/Release/.
