!This game was written to demonstrate the usage of my links.h library
4
!extension for Inform. For more info about the different classes defined,
5
!please refer to links.h.
6
!This game and the library it is meant to demonstrate may be distributed
7
!freely. Having said that, if you use any of this code, I'd appreciate
8
!at least a "Thank you" in your game.
9
!Note that if you have absolutely no clue what this is all about, either
10
!go and play Andrew Plotkin's excellent game, "Spider and Web", or look at
11
!the piece of paper in this game.
12
!Also, this is a modified version of another game I wrote to demonstrate
13
!this library. However, the original had so many S&W objects, complete
14
!with spoilers, that I felt I couldn't release it publicly.

"Welcome to ~Links and Links~! This is an example game meant to demonstrate

my links.h library file. If you have absolutely no idea what this is all
199
about, go play Andrew Plotkin's excellent game, ~Spider and Web~. If you've
200
already played it, what you do here should be obvious. For those of you
201
who have not played S&W, here's a brief summary:^
202
There are several objects in the box. Those with a plus link are actuators
203
and are meant to be used to activate devices. Devices have a minus link.^
204
To link two things together, just ~link xxx to yyy~. To unlink, just
206
Please substitute real object names for xxx and yyy in the above examples.^
207
you can find out which objects have plus and minus links by examining them.^
208
Note that you can't link two objects with plus links, or two objects with
209
minus links, together. In actuality, there's no reason you'd ever want
210
to do this, so it's not a problem.^
