Dunjin (pronounced like "dungeon") is short for "The Dungeons of Dunjin" - a text adventure game in the tradition of the classic ADVENT and Zork games. (The user interface should be familiar to anyone who has played Zork or another Infocom game). Like in these games, the program provides you with a "simulated universe" - a small world with its own laws and logic, which you can move about in and manipulate in various ways. The game contains more than 180 different locations and several hundred objects. 1.1 Scenario In your quest for the Holy Grail you have found an obscure reference to the forgotten kingdom of Dunjin. You've never heard of this kingdom before - however, you _have_ heard of a famous tourist attraction, the Dungeons of Dunjin. At the start of the game, you will find yourself in a forest, looking for the entrance to the Dungeon of Dunjin. Your objective is to enter and explore the Dungeon, ultimately to find the Holy Grail. Many obstacles will be in your way, and you'll have to face many dangers, all of which you'll have to overcome with your wit alone (and possibly some information and objects you'll pick up on your way). 1.2 How to play Like in other adventure games, you play by giving commands in (an approximation of) natural English to the program. Typical commands could be "take the sword", "examine it", "go to the north", "look inside the box". The program will describe your immediate surroundings, and the consequences of your actions. Scattered throughout the dungeon are various objects which you may pick up and carry with you. Some of these are worth- less, while others are valuable treasures and others have no intrinsic value but may prove useful as tools. One of the problems facing you is to find out which of the objects actually are useful, and how to use them. You may also meet people, animals, monsters and supernatural beings inside the dungeon. Some of these are friendly while others are dangerous enemies. The object of the game is to find the Holy Grail (don't worry if you've never seen one before - you'll know it when you find it) and bring it to the adventure office. On your way, you'll face many dangers - the grail is not only hidden, but also well guarded. You will get points for overcoming the various obstacles. In addition, you will get a 10 point bonus for each treasure you bring to the office and hand over to the clerk (you'll have to find out for yourself how to do this). The maximum score is 350. Don't despair if your score seems to be stuck far below that value - the game is large! 2 Copyright, copying, registration This program and this documentation are copyright (c) 1991,1992 by Magnus Olsson. All rights reserved. Dunjin is distributed as shareware. If you like this program you are expected to register your copy by sending US $20 or the exchange equivalent to the author or his agent(s). Registered users are entitled to a certain amount of help from the author in case they get stuck. See below for details. You're under no legal obligation to pay, just a moral one. If you do not think that it's worth $20, please don't use this program, but give your copy away. Whether you register or not, you are allowed to make as many copies as you like of this program, give it away to friends, upload it to BBS's and FTP sites, put it on readable network partitions, etc, provided the following conditions are met: a) All the files mentioned in the "contents" list below must be distributed together, in the form of a Zip archive file, or an archive file produced by a similar archiving program (you may re-pack the archive using another archive program, as long as none of the constituent files are modified or deleted from the archive). b) None of the files may be modified in any way whatsoever. No file may be deleted from or added to the archive. c) The program or documentation may not be sold or leased for profit without the prior written consent of the author. No fee of any kind may be charged for the distribution, with the single exception for a reasonable fee to cover the costs of the distribution. 2.1 Getting a complete copy If you have received an incomplete copy of this program, for example one where the documentation file is missing, you may get the latest version of the complete distribution from the following sources: Modem download or FidoNet FReq from The Coffee Club BBS (US phone # (301) 353-9315, FidoNet node 109/426.0) (Bark or Wazoo FReq using the magic name DUNJIN) Anonymous FTP from leif.thep.lu.se [130.235.92.55]. When registering, you may order Dunjin on diskette by mail order from the author or his agent (see below under "How to register"). An extra $5 will be charged to cover copying costs. 2.2 How to register To register as a Dunjin user, please send US $20 or the ex- change equivalent to Magnus Olsson TF2 Sölvegatan 14 A S-223 62 LUND Sweden (email: magnus@thep.lu.se, thepmo@seldc52.bitnet) or to the sysop of The Coffee Club BBS: Jerry Andrews, 140 University Street, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (email: Jerry.Andrews@f426.n109.z1.FidoNet.org) Especially American users are requested to use this address. If you want a Dunjin disk, please add $5 to the above amount to cover the costs of copying and postage. When sending money to the author's address, please use either an international money order or a cheque drawn on a Swedish bank. Swedish banks charge large fees for cashing foreign cheques, and don't accept non-Swedish personal cheques at all. Users in some European countries will probably find it most convenient to transfer the amount directly to the author's Postal Giro account, Stockholm 475 78 21-6. Similar considerations apply when sending the registration fee to Jerry Andrews. 2.3 Why register? Registering is a way of encouraging me, the author, to write more nice software for your enjoyment, and to fix any minor lingering bugs in Dunjin. If sufficiently many people regis- ter, I may even find the time to write a sequel... Also, if and only if you register, you'll get the option of ask me for help if you get stuck on a problem. Requests for help from unregistered users (unless they are to report a genuine bug of the program) will _not_ be answered. (See below for more details). 2.4 What happens if you don't register? Apart from the fact that your conscience will haunt you for the rest of your life and that you'll probably be eaten by a grue some dark night, nothing at all will happen. You won't be sued. The police will not harass your family. Your computer won't be confiscated by the Secret Service, nor will you be arrested, summarily sentenced and shot at day- break. You won't even get any hate mail. 3 Installation 3.1 Contents of distribution archive The distribution archive should contain the following files: * READ.ME - read this before starting! DUNJIN.COM - the program DUNJIN.000 - overlay files used by Dunjin DUNJIN.001 DUNJIN.002 DUNJIN.003 DUNJIN.100 - data files used by Dunjin DUNJIN.101 DUNJIN.102 DUNJIN.HLP - command summary (used when you type 'help' inside Dunjin) DUNJIN.CNF - configuration file, created by DUNCONF.COM * DUNCONF.COM - the configuration program (see below) * DUNJIN.DOC - this file (Files marked with * are not necessary to run the program) 3.2 System requirements Dunjin requires an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or compatible, with at least 512 KB of RAM, one floppy or hard disk drive, running DOS 2.1 or later. The program has been tested under many versions of MS and PC DOS, from 2.1 up to 5.0 inclusive. 3.3 Installing Dunjin To install Dunjin on a floppy disk, just copy the Dunjin files to an empty diskette. This disk must always be present in the drive when you're running Dunjin, since the program will read from the disk during a game. To install Dunjin on a hard disk, you should create a new directory, for example by doing "md c:\dunjin" (the quotes aren't part of the command and shouldn't be typed) at the DOS prompt. Then copy all the Dunjin files to this directory. You may want to consult your DOS manual about directories and paths before doing this. If you're having problems with disk space, you may delete the files marked with an asterisk (*) in the file list above. In case you're only interested in is getting Dunjin up and running as fast as possible (and who isn't when they get a new program?), you can (temporarily) skip the following para- graphs and go directly to "Starting Dunjin" below. Otherwise, you should decide where you want save files. Normally, they're put in the same directory as the rest of the files, but this may make it too cluttered for your taste. If the disk is write protected (for example if it's a network partition) you must put them on another disk. If you're using a dual-floppy system with no hard disk, you'll probably want to put the program files on one drive and save files on another one. Then run DUNCONF.COM (just type "dunconf" at the DOS prompt) and follow the instructions. Dunconf lets you change the place where save files are put, and other things such as the screen colours. You might want to consult your DOS manual about "paths" before running Dunconf. 3.4 Starting Dunjin To start the Dunjin program, just make the Dunjin disk and directory the current disk and directory (in the example above, just type "c:" followed by "cd \dunjin" at the DOS prompt). Then type "dunjin". This should start the program. If the program crashes with an error message, it's probably because a) It can't find one or more of the required files. Maybe you're in the wrong directory? b) It's run out of memory. Try removing TSR utilities and device drivers from memory (if you don't know how to do this, ask your local guru). If it still doesn't work, check your system against the "System requirements" listed above. If it _still_ doesn't work, you may have received a corrupted copy of the program. 3.5 DUNCONF The program DUNCONF.COM can be used to change things like the screen colours. To run it, just type "dunconf" at the DOS prompt and follow the instructions. Dunconf will write the settings to the file DUNJIN.CNF which must be present in the same directory as the rest of the Dunjin files. Dunconf can be used to change the following settings: o Screen colours (any colour combination can be chosen). o The command prompt - the prompt used by Dunjin when expecting input from you. The default is "". o Where to put saved games. Normally, save files are put in the current directory. With Dunconf, you can specify any disk and/or path here you want the files to be put instead. o Line editor defaults - whether the editor (see below) should start in insert or overstrike mode. The default is insert mode. o Hints on/off - whether the hint facility (see below) should be enabled or disabled. The default is to have it disabled. Dunconf writes the settings to a file called DUNJIN.CNF. This file is read by Dunjin during startup. 4 Playing 4.1 The basics 4.1.1 Starting the program To start the program, just type "dunjin" at the command prompt. If you have saved a game earlier, you may give the name of the save file as a parameter to the program (if the file is named MYFILE.DUN, you should give the command as "dunjin myfile"). It will then start by loading this file. Note that all the program, overlay and database files must be present in the current directory so the program can find them. 4.1.2 Entering commands 4.1.2.1 What commands look like You enter commands in the form of simple English sentences. Usually, the simpler your command is, the better. The parser (the part of the program that tries to understand your com- mands) is not very smart, and may be confused by complicated sentences. Most commands consist of a verb and a direct object, like "take the sword", "ring the bell", "examine the key". The definite article "the" may be safely omitted; you may thus say just "take key" instead of "take the key". Some verbs take two objects, like "unlock the door with the key", and others don't take any objects at all. If there is there are, say, more than one key present, you'll have to use some adjective to distinguish between them, or the program will ask which key you mean. Sometimes, the parser will not be able to figure out what you mean. In most cases, the program will then tell you that it didn't understand. In some exceptional cases, the program will misunderstand you completely. In both these cases, the best advice for you is to refor- mulate your command in simpler terms, or possibly by using different words. A rather silly example would be if you wanted to unlock a door, and tried to do this by saying "Put the key in the keyhole", which the program doesn't under- stand. Instead, you should say simply "unlock the door with the key". Note: case is not significant, i.e., you may mix UPPER and lower case LeTtERs at will. 4.1.2.2 "It" The parser has some sense for the meaning of the word "it". Usually, this means the last object referenced to by you; for example, if you give the command "Take the letter", you may then say "read it" and the program will understand that by "it" you mean the letter. Sometimes, the parser is confused, though, and thinks you mean something different than you actually meant. To avoid misunderstandings, the program will always tell you what it thought you meant, like 'By "it", I suppose you mean the letter'. 4.1.2.3 The command line editor To simplify the entry of commands, Dunjin has a command line editor, rather like the one in Dosedit, DOS 5.0's doskey, or tcsh under Unix. When you're entering a command, you may move the cursor within the line with the left and right arrow keys. The letters you type are always entered at the cursor. If you keep CTRL pressed at the same time, the cursor will move one word at a time. Home and End moves the cursor to the begin- ning and the end of the line, respectively. You may delete characters with the Del and Backspace keys, while the Insert key takes you between the insert and over- strike modes. Esc clears the entire line. The editor saves previous commands in a buffer. By repeatedly pressing the up arrow key, you may recall earlier commands, while down arrow moves in the other direction. The recalled commands may be edited, which makes it easy to correct spel- ling errors even after you've committed them. If all this seems complicated, just try it - it's much simpler than it sounds. Macro keys To simplify things even further, some keys have been program- med with commonly used commands. F1 will do the same thing as typing 'look' F2 = 'inventory', F8 = 'save', F9 = 'load' and F10 = 'files' (see below for what these commands do). 4.2 Some Common Commands Below is a summary of some of the more common commands under- stood by Dunjin. Note that this is just intended to get you started; Dunjin understands lots of other verbs - it's part of the game to find out exactly what it can do... 4.2.1 Getting around the cave 4.2.1.1 Movement To move in any of the directions north, south, east, west, up or down, just type the direction in which you want to go. Directions may be abbreviated to the first letter, so typing either "north" or "n" will move you to the north. Note that there is no way of moving in intermediate direc- tions like northeast or southwest. Usually, it will be obvious in which directions you may move. Note, however, that hidden doors are not uncommon in dungeons! Also note that cave passages may be long, twisting tunnels - the fact that you exited one room going north doesn't neces- sarily mean that you'll enter the next one from the south! 4.2.1.2 "Look" Typing just "look" will give you a description of your imme- diate surroundings (the same as you got when you first en- tered that particular location). If you want to examine some specific thing, you may use "look" with an object, like "look at the key" and "look under the bed". Since "look" is such a commonly used command, you may abbre- viate it to just a single letter "l". You may also use the F1 function key. 4.2.2 Objects Inside the dungeon (and outside it too) are lots of different objects. Some of these are obviously valuable (like diamonds) or useful (like keys), while others are of more dubious utility and some are totally useless. Some objects are lying in full view (maybe some careless adventurer has just dropped them on the ground), while others are hidden. You must always look carefully in all possible hiding places so you don't miss anything important. 4.2.2.1 "Take", "drop" When you find an objects that you think you may need, you can pick it up. To take, say, a diamond, you type "take the diamond". You may use "get" as a synonym for "take". To drop the diamond again, type "drop diamond". You may also give the commands "take all" (that will try to pick up all movable objects you can see) and "drop all" (which will of course drop all that you're carrying). Note: You may not carry more than 18 different objects at any time. 4.2.2.2 "Inventory" To see what you're carrying, type "inventory". This verb may be abbreviated as "invent" or just "i". You may also press the F2 function key. 4.2.2.3 "Examine" It is recommended that you take a closer look at the objects you find - things aren't always what they seem to be. You can do that by typing "look at the key", or "examine the key". The verb "examine" can be abbreviated as "x". 4.2.3 Creatures In this game, you may meet other people, animals and even mythological beasts. You may want to talk to them with the "say" command, like "say hello". IMPORTANT: This is one of the instances where it's easy to fool the parser. The program won't understand you properly if you for example give the command "say hello to guard" - instead, you should just type "say hello" and let the program figure out to whom you're saying it (it will always be clear from the context, trust me). 4.2.4 Administrative commands This section contains some "metacommands" that don't influence the game itself, but are useful for controlling the program. 4.2.4.1 "Save", "restore", "restart" At any point in the game, you may save the current position to a file. This is done by the "save" command, or by pressing F8. The program will prompt for a file name. You can then use the "restore" or "load" command (or press F9) to load the position from disk. Again, you'll be prompted for a filename. Provided the file exists, everything will be restored to the state it was in when you saved the position. This is of course very useful if you want to interrupt the game, witch off the computer and come back later (even though the game is fascinating, you may want to do things like eat, sleep, work or perform various bodily functions). It is also recommended that you save your game before attempting something potentially dangerous, like go swimming in a river full of crocodiles. If you should fail (and, believe me, such things do happen in adventure games), you can always restore the game to the previous position. Whether this should be considered cheating is a matter of taste. The command "restart" is used to restart the game from the beginning, if things should go completely wrong. Save files and their names Like any other file, a save file has a name of up to eight characters. Dunjin will always add the extension ".DUN" to the filename, whether you specify it or not. There is (for safety reasons) no way of overriding this. Save files will normally be put in the same directory as the rest of the Dunjin files. By using the Dunconf program you may specify that they should be put somewhere else. This choice can always be overridden by specifying a path and a drive letter with the filename. For example, specifying "b:\save\myfile" will always save the game as a file called "myfile.dun" in the directory "\save" on disk b:. (If you didn't understand that last part, never mind, you probably won't need that feature). Listing files (Wildcards, FILES) When the "save" or "restore" commands prompt you for a file, you may specify a filename that contains wildcard characters ('?' and '*'). You will then get a list of all save files that match the specification, and then be prompted again for a filename. The extension .DUN is always implied. If you specify another extension, it will be changed to .DUN. For example, specifying the filename "foo*" will give you a list of all save files whose names start with "foo" (basical- ly the same list as that produced by the DOS command "dir foo*.dun"). Giving the command "files" (or pressing F10) will list all save files. 4.2.4.2 "Brief", "Verbose" The first time you enter a location, you will get a descrip- tion of what you see. Normally, the program will assume that you'll remember this, so the next time you enter the same location, you'll only get a short message like "You're in the kitchen". To get the full description again, type "look". If you prefer always to get the full description every time you move, you can tell the program your preferences by the command "verbose". The command "brief" will take you back to getting just short descriptions. 4.2.4.3 "Score" The command "score" will print out your current score. Note that this score will not include the bonus for any treasure you've found - to get the bonus, you must present the trea- sures at the adventure office (just outside the entrance). 4.2.4.4 "Quit" The command "quit" is used to exit the program and get back to DOS. 4.2.4.5 "Help" and "hint" These two commands sound similar, but are actually quite different. "Help" gives you a short summary of the most common commands, while "hint" enters the hint facility (se below). 4.3 What to do if stuck This game contains some quite difficult puzzles. Sooner or later, you will come to a point where you feel that you're stuck and that you've exhausted your possibilities (if you're able to solve the game in one session, at least I wouldn't hesitate to call you a genius at adventure games). In such a case, a some good advice is to let it rest. If you have some more exploring to do in another part of the cave, then do it - you may find a new angle of attack, or perhaps some useful object, or a way of circumventing the problem. Otherwise, it may be a good idea to call it a day and try again later - in my experience, you can only solve so many problems in a session. 4.3.1 Some general hints 4.3.1.1 Mapping Generally, it's important to draw a map as you move about - cave passages are notoriously twisting, and some parts of the dungeon can be quite confusing! Often, but not always, it is possible to keep he map inside your head, as it were, but there's always a risk of missing something important that way! 4.3.1.2 Mazes The dungeon contains some quite nasty mazes. If you should find yourself lost inside one, the number one rule is: DON'T PANIC! To enable you to make a map of the maze, you should drop things on the floor. That will make it possible to tell the rooms apart. 4.3.1.3 Examine everything! One very good piece of advice is that you should examine everything - things aren't always what they seem. Make it a rule to examine every object you find, however ordinary it may seem, and to look under furniture, behind curtains, etc. 4.3.2 The hint facility In case you're totally stuck, the program has a built-in hint facility. This feature is by default disabled (we mustn't make it too easy for you, must we?). To enable it, run the Dunconf program (see above). Getting a hint (provided there is an applicable hint available) will deduct 10 points from your score. 4.3.3 Asking the author As a last resort, _registered_ users may ask the author for help. In that case, send a letter or an electronic mail message and state your problem. Email is greatly preferred - if you must use ordinary mail, please enclose return postage or an international reply coupon. Phone calls are definitely _not_ welcome. Note that this service is available for _registered_ users _only_. 5 Some trivia - in Q&A form. Q: Why is it called Dunjin? Does it mean anything? A: No, Dunjin doesn't mean anything in particular; it's sort of a pormanteau word formed from "dungeon" + "djinn". Q: Is there a version for the Macintosh (Amiga, Atari, ZX 80, etc)? A: A Macintosh version is planned and will probably be released during December. No other ports are currently planned. Q: In what language is Dunjin written? A: Turbo Pascal 3.0, with some assembler routines thrown in for speed. Q: Why on earth did you use that bagbiting language, and not C (or Basic, Ada, Lisp, Fortran, Modula,...)? And if you had to use Pascal, why not use a newer version? A: Because when I started to write the program, TP 3.0 was the only compiler available to me. The alternative would have been to write it in GWBasic (yecch!). The program quickly grew so compiler-dependent that converting to a newer and better version would have meant rewriting a largish amount of code, which I was too lazy to do. This doesn't mean that I wouldn't use a different language if I were to start from the beginning today - in fact, I'd definitely use an object-oriented language, probably C++. Q: Why not use a special adventure-writing language, like Advsys? A: None of the adventure writing packages I've examined are powerful enought for writing a large game. Advsys is quite nice, but still a toy. Q: How many lines of source code is there? A: Together with the support programs, more than 7000 lines. Q: How can I get a copy of the source to play around with? A: You can't. Q: Why? A: Because it's so ugly and full of hacks that I don't want it to be widely known. Also, I don't want any hacked copies floating around... Q: But I'd like to port it to my Amiga (Atari, Sun, VAX, Cray). A: In that case, I might give you a copy of the source code. Please contact me for details. Q: How long did it take to write Dunjin? A: I first got inspired in 1984, when I found the source code of ADVENT on the ND-100 where I was doing some coursework at the time (unfortunately, the machine was too small to compile and run it). I thought a lot about writing my own adventure game, but didn't have access to any big enough machine (I wrote an extremely small one in 10K on my Acorn Atom). I started writing Dunjin in early 1986, when I had bought a PC compatible. Most of the game was outlined a year later (version 2.1). Several friends playtested it and suggested lots of changes and additions. I got to the point of publi- shing then (thought it was only a matter of polishing off a few details), but didn't have the energy. Dunjin was then lying dormant on a floppy for quite some time. Every now and then I would work a little on it, add a few features, remove a few bugs, and so on. Then catastrophe struck: I accidentally deleted the clear text of the database - only the encoded version was left. Only several months later did I dare do anything about it. It proved surprisingly easy to reconstruct everything by deco- ding the data file. In early 1990, version 3.0 was finished. I began toying with the idea of publishing it on Usenet, but first I needed to iron out all the bugs. This was done (I thought) in March 1991, when I asked some people to do a final, short beta test - or so I thought. It quickly turned out that the program had _lots_ of mis- features, warts and outright bugs. The entire parser was rewritten from scratch in version 4.0. Lots of new problems were added, and old ones rewritten. Eight months, and several thousand lines of code, later, it's finally (?) finished. Q: Will there be any more adventure games from the same author? A: Well, possibly. I've started thinking about another one, tentatively called WOMBAT (for Waste Of Money, Brains And Time), but I'm not quite certain when and how I'll find the time to write it. Q: And, finally, who on Earth is Tom A. Crona? Am I supposed to know this guy? A: Tom A. Crona is sort of an internal joke - sort of a signature used by me as a teenage hacker. The name is an anagram of "Acorn Atom" - a British, 6502 based hobby com- puter from the early eighties, which it was my pleasure to own in high school. 6 Acknowledgements I'd like to thank the following people: Fredrik Kilander, Göran Sandberg, Jerry Andrews, Saari Anssi, Staffan Skogvall for their invaluable contributions to Dunjin. Without their criticism, suggestions and bug reports, Dunjin would have been a rather different (and much less interesting) game. The following test players have also provided valuable com- ments: Anders Robertsson, Ashwin Hirschi, Duke McMullan, Gudmundir B. Josepsson, Sigurgeir Jónsson and Sixten Borg. Thanks to all of you! Thanks also to Peter Forsberg for providing the first inspi- ration by making his ADVENT sources world readable on the old CAESAR system. 7 Disclaimers Dunjin is believed to be a correct and well-behaved program. It has been tested and found to work on several different computers, running different DOS versions. This program is delivered as is, without any warranty, ex- pressed or implied. The author does not accept any responsi- bility whatsoever for any loss or damage caused by any inten- tional or unintentional use or misuse of this software. All characters and events depicted in this game are entirely fictional. Any similarities with real people, places, names or events are entirely unintentional and coincidental. No special measures have been taken to make this game politi- cally, religiously or philosophically "correct". Small children and very sensitive and/or neurotic adults may conceivably take offense to some of its features. However, the game was written with the sole purpose of entertainment, and not to be offensive. The world depicted is a fairy tale world, and does not necessarily reflect the author's views of the real world. Actions and events happening in the game are _not_ meant to set any kind of example for actions in the real world. GOOD LUCK! ===== END OF FILE DUNJIN.DOC ====
