- This Library contains all of the utilities, except the Microsoft
- Z80 compiler "M80.com" and "L80.com", that you will need to write
- your own adventures.
-
- The code for this adventure interpreter was written by Peter D.
- Scargill and the source was published in Dr. Dobb's Journal
- Number 61 November 1981 Volume 6, Issue 11 Peoples Computer
- Company Box E, 1263 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, CA 94025.
-
- The code is Zilog 80 and a Z80 processor is required to run it.
-
- The files are:
-
- GENHOSP.COM - a compiled adventure that I use as a "fun
- part" of the Medical Physiology Course at Quillen-Dishner College
- of Medicine.
-
- GENHOSP.DAT - the above program written in Adven80
- language. The syntax of that language is at the end of the file
- and can be studied in the original publication. It is a "table
- language": it is composed of a series of tables.
-
- ADVEN-80.REL - this is the "interpreter." It can be
- loaded with a DATA.rel to make a new com file.
-
- The construction of a data.rel is as follows:
-
- Make up the tables as in GENHOSP.DAT and then "feed them
- to the Basic Interpreter." It is ADVEN-80.BAS and is written in
- Microsoft Basic. The output will be a .mac file. Assemble it
- with M80.com and then load the interpreter ADVEN-80.REL and link
- it to your new data.rel and you have created a new adventure.
-
- More details can be found in the original publication.
-
- Have fun!
