Testing languages and Interactive FictionPosted by rick Mon, 10 Jul 2006 04:05:00 GMT I was reading an article from But Uncle Bob called Tests are a language, which should resonate with the Behavior Driven Development crew (hi Dave!) (heck, there’s even mention of a Python port of rSpec in the comments), when I noticed a link out to Inform7, a tool for writing interactive fiction using a language which is basically English to define the program. Quite impressive. |
