Contributing

If you'd like to contribute a recipe to the TADS 3 Cookbook, please use the New Issue link to submit an entry.

"A TADS3 cookbook, illustrating how to achieve specific things, would be very useful, though."
– James Mitchelhill, 28 Dec., 2006

Format

To keep the Cookbook useful and consistent, each recipe should have the following essentials:

• A title describing what the recipe accomplishes ("Make a door that closes behind the player")
• A problem statement explaining or expanding on the title.
• A concise block of TADS 3 code demonstrating the solution
• A short transcript demonstrating the code

However, please submit as little or as much as you want. Whatever is missing can be fleshed out later.

Ideally each page would also have an accompanying source code file that can be compiled and run within the Kitchen.

Examples

Some extant examples of recipes and paired code include:

• Keyboard: recipe, code
• initSpecialDesc: recipe, code
