Post subject: Question about version numbers on ifdb Archived from groups: rec>games>int-fiction (more info?)
I was playing Vespers and I ran into some minor implementation
problems. It surprised me since it was an xyzzy best game winner. It
then occured to me that I might not be playing the latest version. On
ifdb, it lists 2 versions, a comp version and the latest version. It
also lists 2 ifids but doesn't say which is which:
IFIDs: ZCODE-1-050929-F8AB
ZCODE-1-051128-B5AA
Is it safe to assume that the bigger the 6-digit number, the newer the
game?

In Inform games, the six-digit serial is traditionally the date on
which the game is compiled, so a game compiled today would have a
serial number of 090830.

Hey, No Fair! (IFDB) - This recent IFDB entry makes me sad: http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=prha7tdprx1n2uc3 .... because whatever it is sounds very intriguing. I never knew I needed to see it until just now :( Anyone know of an archive of it somewhere?
Zoom and IFDB info - I'm a little confused as to how Zoom gets info from IFDB for games (I'm guessing that it does that). Some of my games have automagically filled in meta info about the games and some haven't. Is there a way to tell Zoom to go to IFDB for the IFID it....
