Apartment F209 is a Z-machine text adventure game written with Inform 6 and is © 1997 by Ben Parrish.
In this coding exercise written to help the author learn the Inform language, you play as a man living in a squalid apartment with a large cat that hates you. Your goals are to explore the apartment, feed the cat, find your car keys, and drive off to somewhere else.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
