I think Charles was alluding to the fact that he hadn't exhausted all the options... because assuming he had a way to play the game since he's asking about it, he could've played it first before asking. While I welcome questions, I like questions if, and only if, the person has exhausted all options to find the desired information. But I see both sides of the picture...

Hi folks, Old basic for dos started with gwBasic.exe You had to type in on the command line, c:\gwbasic.exe game.bas to get the game.bas to run. A newer version was named basica.exe and then qbasic.exe which was what Jim's DOS games used. All the basic programs could produce a executable if compiled with the correct switches .

Re: [Audyssey] bpc text adventures
Hi Dark, Sure its possible. There are plenty of languages we could convert this to such as Python, Perl, or Ruby which would be a lot more current and be way more cross-platform to boot. In fact, I have a number of games written in Apple basic such as Oregon Trail that I'd love to convert to a more modern programming language. Python sounds like a good bet since it is simple to code in, is cross-platform, but then requires that the Python runtime be installed. Although, for text adventures I've been thinking of using a scripting language called Perl. It is C-like, but like Python is an interpreted language. In a way Perl is like writing in C without all the over head and complexity attached.

Re: [Audyssey] bpc text adventures
Hi Ian, Have you tried any of the cross-platform interpreters like frobtads, scare, frotz, etc? I mean if I can play dozens of text adventures on Linux surely there are just as many if not more support for Mac OS. Most of the interpreters I use are open source and can be cross-compiled on any Unix-compatible OS.

Hi Dark, Probably. Though someone would have to want to port the code to a language that will compile an executable.

Hi. Next time you ask about a game, try looking on the website of the game itself and find as much information as possible before you post to the list something which might already be answered. Not to be rude, but it just seems moot to me to ask a question that could be answered by taking a look on the website where that game comes from. Best. Clement.

Re: [Audyssey] Changing the greater than symbol in interactive fiction
Hi, Personally, I am fine with the greater than symbol, but I see your point regarding new players. Back when I was learning C++ I wrote a number of text based games for Linux like Blackjack, Poker, etc and when it was my turn to play I would print the line "Enter command:" to let me know it was my turn to play.

Re: [Audyssey] Changing the greater than symbol in interactive fiction

Re: [Audyssey] Changing the greater than symbol in interactive fiction
Hi. removing the status line would be handy indeed. as regards a replacement for the greater than symbol, well as I said I got used to greater than indicating that I should type something, but I do see your point especially for starting if players. Obviously the phrase should be very short, but should indicate what's going on. how about "your move?" or "your turn?" as in a chess game. inserting the question mark will give the right intonation to a synth, and make it an enquiry, where as given the business with sapi reading punctuation marks which has already been mentioned, you: might litterally read as "you colon" which could be a trifle destracting. Question marks however are not commonly read by sapi, so this would be a more logical symbol to use. Obviously, when using usual screen readers like hal, it's possible to set read punctuation anyway so either wouldn't matter too much, - though it's also worth noting that most synths will add correct intonation for a question. Beware the Grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2010 9:21 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Changing the greater than symbol in interactive fiction Hi all, Over the past week or so, I've been learning Inform 7 and discovered tonight that you can change the greater than symbol prompt in interactive fiction games with a single line of code. You can also turn off the status lines at the top, which refresh each turn. Changing both would mean you'd no longer have to hear something like this each turn: "fork in the path of the road moves one hundred and twenty two greater than". So, I want to create a simple test room and try some of it out, but I'd like some suggestions as to what you think the prompt should be changed to. Would you want to hear another symbol, or a word? Perhaps a phrase? I'm trying to think what would work for both V I and sighted players, and give beginners an idea that they need to type something. How about "Command colon" or "You colon"? (Obviously the word colon in those two phrases would be a colon symbol, not the word.) Anyway, let me know what you think.

[Audyssey] Changing the greater than symbol in interactive fiction
Hi all, Over the past week or so, I've been learning Inform 7 and discovered tonight that you can change the greater than symbol prompt in interactive fiction games with a single line of code. You can also turn off the status lines at the top, which refresh each turn. Changing both would mean you'd no longer have to hear something like this each turn: "fork in the path of the road moves one hundred and twenty two greater than". So, I want to create a simple test room and try some of it out, but I'd like some suggestions as to what you think the prompt should be changed to. Would you want to hear another symbol, or a word? Perhaps a phrase? I'm trying to think what would work for both V I and sighted players, and give beginners an idea that they need to type something. How about "Command colon" or "You colon"? (Obviously the word colon in those two phrases would be a colon symbol, not the word.) Anyway, let me know what you think. Cheers, Neophyte. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
