NAME
IFM - Interactive Fiction Mapper
SYNOPSIS
ifm [options] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
IFM is a program for keeping track of your progress through an Interac‐
tive Fiction game. You can record each room you visit and its relation
to other rooms, the initial locations of useful items you find, and the
tasks you need to perform in order to solve the game.
The IFM mapping commands are designed so that you can easily add to the
map as you explore the game. You type in the rooms you visit and the
directions you move in to reach other rooms, and IFM calculates the
position of each room relative to the others. A map can consist of
several independent sections, allowing you to divide up the map however
you like.
The IFM task commands, if used, allow you to specify the order in which
game-solving tasks must be done. The IFM program can then calculate
and print different styles of walkthrough for the game.
IFM can write hardcopy maps directly to PostScript, suitable for print‐
ing or viewing. It can also write maps in Fig format, which can be
viewed and edited using Xfig, or converted into many other formats.
This man page just presents a summary of the command-line options.
Online documentation on how to use IFM can be found in the SEE ALSO
section.
