	Glulx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glulx is a 32-bit portable virtual machine intended for writing and playing interactive fiction.
		Despite being a better-adapted virtual machine for modern computing hardware and being just as accessible to developers, Glulx continues to lag behind the Z-machine in popularity, largely due to the comparative rarity of interpreters.
		The most popular interpreter for Glulx is Andrew Plotkin's Glulxe.

	Blorb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The format was devised by Andrew Plotkin and is used in both the Z-machine and Glulx virtual machines, as well as by the Glk library.
		Glulx games are almost always shipped in the Blorb format.
		As of 2004 Blorb files are supported by all glk interactive fiction interpreters, including Nitfol and Glulx.

	Glulx: 0. Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Glulx is a simple solution to a fairly trivial problem.
		Well, maybe not, but Glulx is simple enough that it was easier to design and implement it than to use something else.
		Glulx uses the Glk I/O API, for the sake of simplicity and portability.

	Glulx
		Glulxe (for "Glulx Execute") is the Glulx interpreter.
		Here is The Glulx Inform Technical Reference, which documents all th internal table formats used by Glulx Inform games.
		As mentioned in the Guide to Glulx Inform: the game's title is displayed in the Header style; room names are displayed in Subheader; score changes are in Note; and "You have died" is in Alert.

	Inform - ZMachine - Glulx
		He then created Glulx, a new platform for Inform-compiled software, which happens to use glk but is really quite a different thing.
		However, to a very large degree your own Inform code will work equally well when compiled to either glulx or the Z-machine, so the fact that you're using a modified system needn't be very noticeable.
		This is the central repository for Glulx information and resources, whereas the present page gives only a few essential links.

	Gull: Glulx and Glulx Inform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Glulx is a 32-bit virtual machine (footnote) whose compilers are designed to take Inform code and convert it into Glulx code.
		Glulx compilers need all opcodes to be written for Glk.
		This includes the ones in the Inform library, so the standard Inform library doesn't work with Glulx: you need to use the special bi-platform Inform library (which is designed to be able to be used with games targeted for either Glulx or the Z-machine).

	Inform FAQ: History and hereafter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Glulx is that new VM, designed to overcome the Z-machine's limitations; it's the work of Andrew Plotkin (commonly known as Zarf and often to be found around the IF newsgroups).
		The internal architecture of Glulx is quite different from that of the Z-machine (for example, it's based on computer words of 32 bits, not the 16 bits of the Z-machine) but that isn't too important.
		You'll also have to download an interpreter; if you're using the layout that I suggested earlier, a suitable empty folder is already in place for you to download into.

	GWindows Documentation: Chapter 0 - Introduction
		Moreover, the memory model used by version 6 of the Z-Machine is not easily compatible with assumptions made by the Inform compiler; its maxium size is limited to 320k unless a patched version of the compiler is used.
		In order to give Glulx the potential to support the kind of multimedia and interface abilities desired, Glulx uses an API called Glk (also by Andrew Plotkin) for its input and output.
		With John Cater's 'infglk.h' wrapper library, users of Glulx Inform can perform Glk operations via the Glk API function calls, and is generally considered a "must-have" extension for anyone interested in Glk programming under Glulx Inform.

	Brass Lantern Downloading and Running Text Adventures: TADS 3 and Glulx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		However, there are newer systems available that are built on the foundation of older systems, namely TADS 3 (often called T3) and Glulx.
		Glulx is Andrew Plotkin's new virtual machine which is designed to work with Inform and to sidestep some of the limitations of the z-machine.
		Its interpreter is called Glulxe, so that there is no possible way that you would confuse it with the virtual machine itself.

	theangler: notes about glulx and mac os x
		If you have already installed Inform 6.3, all you need to do to produce a Glulx VM compatible binary is compile with the -G flag on and Inform will produce a.ulx file instead of a.z5.
		To run the glulx compiled version of your.inf, you'll need the glulxe executable.
		installation of glulxe was different for some reason, i had to chmod u+x the file before it would run.

		Except, that is, for this Glulx thing, where you can't help feeling a bit uneasy about your ignorance.
		The bi-platform Glulx compiler has two modes: Inform (without the -G switch) which compiles for the Z-machine, and Glulx (with the -G switch) which compiles for the Glulx Virtual Machine.
		All of this stuff assumes that your primary target is (currently) the Z-machine, with the ability to run on the Glulx VM as a bonus -- nice work if you can get it, as it were.

	Inform Syntax Highlighting in Vim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Inform compiler normally generates code targeted for the Z-Machine, a virtual machine originally devised by Infocom for their range of interactive fiction games back in the late 1970's and early-to-mid 1980's.
		Most Inform programs need not be aware of which kind of machine they are going to run on, but some programs may need to make use of, for example, in-line assembly language which is very different for the two targets.
		Inform code intended to be usable on both the Z-Machine and Glulx will contain blocks of code for both, using conditional compilation to select whichever is appropriate.

		I stopped working on it for several months, and when I picked it up again, I started to see this error message from Glulxe, before it even drew the app window, "Failed to initialize DirectSound." It then proceeds to run the game, but is unable to produce sounds.
		The only thing I can remember changing in between January and May was that I downloaded a newer version of WinGlulxe (for a different project with no sound effects).
		Anyway, it is very difficult working on a game with sound effects if I can't get Glulxe to play any sound effects.

	Welcome to Gull
		In fact, the whole first section is intended to provide a thorough enough background that even people entirely new to programming interactive fiction can understand Glulx Inform and how it fits into the scheme of things.
		The second section is a manual for Glulx Inform designed for people who already know Z-machine Inform —; meaning that Gull doesn't come close to supplanting the regular Inform Designer's Manual, which is required reading before beginning section two.
		Well, I needed to call it something, and I figured that since the goal of the project was to make Glk and Glulx easy to understand, the name should take the shared phoneme of Glk and Glulx and use it in a word that was easy to pronounce.

		I recently finished porting Anchorhead to Glulx, both because it is so large that the additional content we’ll be adding would make it too large for the Z-machine and because Glulx’s support for file I/O can serve as a poor man’s inter-process communication mechanism for connecting an inform IF to an external AI engine.
		But now I finally have a Glulx Anchorhead that does some file I/O in the main loop to allow an external process to talk to it.

	Mystery House Taken Over - Glulx
		Since today's major operating systems do not have Glulxe interpreters installed by default (you can write to Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Linus Torvalds to express your dismay about this) you'll need to download and install one yourself.
		You'll be able to play IF without a network connection after you've set up an interpreter, and will be ready to use the Mystery House Taken Over Occupation Kit to create your own modified game, if you like.
		Another option is download Glulxe for Mac, which runs in Classic Mode or System 9.

		It is also Glulx incompatible at the moment; you'll have to change a few constants in order to get it to work with the new wordsize.
