Adv770 Description

Adv770 package contains an X-windows Linux (Intel 32) build of my 770 points version of Adventure. Adv770 package contains an X-windows Linux (Intel 32) build of my 770 points version of Adventure. The game, generally known as Adv770, and the associatedfiles may be freely distributed and archived.Note that the XGlk library does not do anything fancy font-wise. No anti-aliasing, no sub-pixel hinting. And it defaults to a font which may or may not be present on your machine. If the font cannot be found, or looks really ugly, you can try specifying another font, by setting the variable GLKFONT to a font family of your choice, e.g. "GLKFONT=helvetica ./adv770x" will set the font family to helvetica. It may still look ugly, due to absence of anti-aliasing etc. If that bothers you (as it would bother me), just grab a source package from wherever you've got this pre-built version, and buildyourself a non-Glk version. All you need for that is gcc.If you do find any bugs, however small, please consult the Adv770 bug list http://mipmip.org/adv770/bugs.shtml and if appropriate, reportthe bug to me on mla(AT)britishlibrary.net.Game versions with the same major version number (version 1.x at present) are upward compatible in that they can restore games saved by an earlier version, unless the bugs list states otherwise. This means that it is quite safe to upgrade to later bug-fixed versions. Should an unavoidable incompatibility arise at some future time, it will be signalled by the game major version changing from 1 to 2.What's New in This Release:· The A-code source is now available (not just the derived, cryptic C source).· There is now a pre-built MacOS package.· The pre-built Windows package is now a self-extracting executable with a simple installation wizard.· The basic Linux version has the readline library statically linked, and hence command line is automatically emabled on all machines.· A new Linux package has the game configured to use the local browser for a much improved display.· Some bugs are fixed too, as detailed in the bug list and change log.
