Hey Garry, you are really indispensable!
I'm going to do the Adventuron version (maybe also a French translation), and I'll ask her if she'll allow me to make it visible or not. I've already found some bugs in her code.
I like Doroty's interview in CASA: A chat with Dorothy Millard, Australian ...

Re: Land of the Giants (C64), Dorothy Millard
A very nice little game of initiation. I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to make an Adventuron remake?

I don't know why, but Unquill refuses to give me a correct output of the Inform file with the -TI option.

Land of the Giants (C64), Dorothy Millard
A small bug that is probably not one, but is to be considered if you use The Quill.

Some games from this Adventuron Game Jam are missing from the CASA database. If Garry doesn't add them, and he'll do it better than me, I will.

Re: 8bitAG.com/info
I apologize; I didn't know what I was reading was "just notes"! I was a bit surprised by the "loading screen" aspect of some of the images being loaded, although this is partly due to my poor Internet connection. Everything's all right.

May I suggest you to use a high-performance compressor for your png picture files? A gain of more than 60% appears on some pictures.

Re: Adventureland.Z5 problem with Genie
I don't recommend this Perl script. I had watched it closely and it had a lot of problems; don't ask me which one, I don't remember. But as is often the case, he certainly has a poor understanding of the Cont instruction and the original game loop.

Did you take the "floating patch of oily slime"? It is necessary for the Zcode version before you rub the lamp.

Re: Adventureland.Z5 problem with Genie
It would be interesting to make a Zcode version not buggy. From which original 8-bit version should it be made? The TRS-80?

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
I wonder why John Elliott, in Unquill, considers in his code that a movement word is less than 20 and not 13? (That's not going to keep me awake at night!)

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
It' s not probably the mistake of your life, but... NOTZERO flagon. => flagno.
There is also an "Ink x y" in the unquill.txt documentation:
*INK x y
On the CPC6128, this is used to change the palette used: x is
the pen number, 0-3, and y is the colour to use for that pen.

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
That's what I said (maybe not written the right way): [13;199] for me and ]12,200[ for you? (I'm not a math geek!)
If (object_vocab_word >12 && object_vocab_word < 200)
object_vocab_word are not-wearable(GD only)
I think we're in agreement.

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
That's not correct:
You reverse wearable & non-wearable, and it's < 13 and not < 12.
Which seems right:
object vocab word >12 && < 200 are not-wearable(GD only) [13;199]
object vocab word>199 && < 255 are wearable(GDWR) [200;254]

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
I'm sorry, but it seems there's a misunderstanding:
object vocab word<200 –not-wearable(GD only) [1;199]
object vocab word>199 –wearable(GDWR) [200;254]
And not:
object vocab word<199 –wearable(GDWR)
object vocab word>200 –not-wearable(GDonly)
This is reversed. And you seem to rule out 199 and 200.
object vocab word<200 –not-wearable(GD only) [1;199]
object vocab word>199 –wearable(GDWR) [200;254]
And not:
object vocab word<199 –wearable(GDWR)
object vocab word>200 –not-wearable(GDonly)
This is reversed. And you seem to rule out 199 and 200.
