= README for Open Adventure =
|
|
|
|
This code is a forward-port of the Crowther/Woods Adventure 2.5 from
|
|
1995, last version in the main line of Colossal Cave Adventure
|
|
development written by the original authors. The authors have given
|
|
permission and encouragement for this release.
|
|
|
|
The file history.adoc contains a more detailed history of this game
|
|
and its ancestors. The file notes.adoc is the maintainer's notes,
|
|
describing project goals and recent changes.
|
|
|
|
This project is called "Open Adventure" because it's not at all clear
|
|
how to number Adventure past 2.5 without misleading or causing
|
|
collisions or both. See the history file for discussion. The
|
|
original 6-character name on the PDP-10 has been reverted to for the
|
|
executable in order to avoid a collision with the BSD games port of
|
|
the ancestral 1977 version.
|
|
|
|
You can run a regression test on the code with 'make check'. Extreme
|
|
care has been taken to not silently change gameplay. By policy, all
|
|
user-visible changes from 2.5 are revertible with the -o (oldstyle)
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
If you encounter a bug (not likely; thuis code is old and well tested)
|
|
please try to make a test log that reproduces it, using the -l option,
|
|
and ship it to the maintainers.
