== Functional changes in Open Adventure ==
A "seed" command has been added. This is not intended for human use
but as a way for game logs to set the PRNG (pseudorandom-number generator) so
that random events (dwarf & pirate appearances, the bird's magic word)
will be reproducible.
A -l command-line option has been added. When this is given (with a
file path argument) each command entered will be logged to the
specified file. Additionally, a generated "seed" command will be put
early in the file capturing the randomized start state of the PRNG
so that replays of the log will be reproducible.
Using "seed" and -l, the distribution now includes a regression-test
suite for the game. Any log captured with -l (and thus containing
a "seed" command) will replay relibly, including random events.
