This is an interactive fiction about making pancakes on a Saturday morning.
It was written using Inform 7 release 6L38. It is possible that it may not compile on future releases, because the language and extension support seem to change over time.
If you'd like to read the source code of the story, I recommend either viewing the source text online or cloning this repository, downloading the Inform 7 IDE and loading it there.
This story makes use of the Measured Liquid extension by Emily Short.
There's no setup involved here and it's definitely the easiest way to play.
Docker (6.8mb Alpine Linux-based image)
Run docker run --rm -it toolness/pancakes and you're good to go.

You're on your own with this one.
The OpenWeatherMap API can be used to provide realtime weather for the story to use. Its purpose is purely decorative and doesn't affect the gameplay; if unavailable, the story falls back to a default weather configuration.
To use realtime weather from a desktop client or the Inform 7 IDE, you'll
need to run the create-weather-glkdata.js script using NodeJS, which
will create a file that the story will read from.
On browsers, realtime weather usage requires no setup, as the OpenWeatherMap API is used directly from JavaScript.
