Thu Dec 12 14:53:12 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* Removed the directory part of the log file name, meaning that
log file is always written in the user directory.
Thu Aug 29 19:34:09 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Added the more Alan-ish way to specify
scripts, namely by name (old style, by numbers, are still
supported, and mixing is allowed).
Wed Aug 28 09:00:58 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Made the MESSAGE construct accept general
statements. Unfortunately this also required the removal of the
positive response checking in confirmation messages. Note that
*any* input is now considered a negative response (YES, I will
look into changing this...)
* SYSTEM CHANGE: Changed the QUIT statement to ask for RESTART,
RESTORE or QUIT (like old time InfoCom games). The message QUIT
can be used to change the contents of the question, but note that
the RESTART, RESTORE and QUIT words are hardwired into the
interpreter. The new QUIT function may cause some problems with
earlier games (and gamers) because the player will probably answer
the wrong thing when doing a quit (but let's hope if-players can
read ;-)
* LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Added a new statement RESTART to restart
the current game. It causes a prompt for confirmation (the new
REALLY message, which can be changed using the MESSAGE construct,
like all the standard messages).
* DOCUMENTATION: Changed format of the grammar description, now
using the more clear (?) <xyz> format for non-terminals. Also
removed all grammar from the reference chapter.
* SIGNIFICANT LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Reference to objects/actors
not at the current location allowed! Another special indicator for
parameters in the syntax construct has been added. In the same way
as it has been possible to indicate that a parameter can be
multiple, it is now possible to indicate that the parameter need
*not* be present to be considered. Disambiguation between
multiple objects that matches the words given by the player is
performed as before (with presence taking precedence). This allows
much simpler handling of e.g. ASK JOE ABOUT BILL, because we need
no longer use tricks to make BILL present.
Fri Jul 26 13:48:24 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* SIGNIFICANT LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Added general default
attribute available for all Actors, Objects and Locations: DEFAULT
ATTRIBUTES. Allows for example verbs like 'examine' to act on both
actors and objects in a much better way.
Thu May 23 23:42:05 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Allowed arbitrary order between
declaration of initial location and names on actors and objects
* SIGNIFICANT LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Allowed multiple player names
on actors and objects.
Tue May 21 13:39:39 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT: Allowed the previously completely reserved
words ARTICLE, MESSAGE, QUIT, SAVE and RESTORE to be used as
identifiers
Fri Apr 12 11:05:41 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@rabbit>
* BUGFIX: Finally allowed "no" prefix for boolean options, as in
"No Debug", note that the 2.6 version of the manual is wrong
* BUGFIX: Fixed the unexisting FPU and article problems in the DOS
port
Wed Apr 3 00:54:24 1996 Thomas Nilsson <thoni@heffa>
* INTERPRETER IMPROVEMENT: Added the ',' as an alternate
conjunction (alternative to 'and') in player input.
