The Four-Eyed Guide to TADS 3

§1: Eye on Syntax, Structures, and Statements
This section is all about TADS 3 notation.

§2: A Verb's-Eye View of TADS 3
What does TADS 3 do in response to a given command? And how can the author tailor that response? This section lets you explore all those verbs, one verb at a time.

§3: TADS 3 Eye For The Inform 6 Guy
You know how to do it in Inform 6. Here's how you do it in TADS 3.

§4: [To Be Determined]

Appendixes

Welcome to my four-eyed guide to TADS 3. I don't really understand TADS 3 very much, but one has to start somewhere. I hope to build on this guide as my understanding of TADS 3 improves. Each section will approach the topic from a different viewpoint, so it's going to be a bit like four guides in one. I realize this guide will be unorthodox. I hope it will also be useful. —David Welbourn
