#ClubFloyd Discussion

|
| After much discussion of what to play today... | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Or we could do this crazy thing that maga is doing, inspired by IFDB Spelunking, where he hit the random button at IFDB to see what would come up." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "This last option is often rather frightening." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So... thoughts?" | ||
| DavidW asks, "That is crazy. Is maga on medication?" | ||
| jenrexrode says, "I might nap" | ||
| maga says (to DW), "well, it's been done before: [LINK]" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "He's been known to dabble in therapy." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, if Jen is napping and Zach is working... is it just Jacq and David, or is someone else interested?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I did like how one of my reviews ended up in IFDB Spelunking. That was a pleasant bit of egoboo." | ||
| inky asks, "did the ifdb spelunking guy recode all the games in shorter versions? or does he just talk through playing them?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Nice" | ||
| maga says (to inky), "a lot of them are recoded" | ||
| maga says, "in some you reach a certain point and he goes 'okay, done here'" | ||
| DavidW says, "and items from some games can be taken into the others for funz." | ||
| DavidW says, "(but not much of that, just a taste)" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, here's a 'highly rated' random that we haven't played: an AGT game called Son of Stagefright." | ||
| DavidW asks, "I haven't played Son of Stagefright and know nothing about it. But does Floyd support AGT games?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "According to the CF Suggested Games intro blurb I typed years ago, it does." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Want me to set it up?" | ||
| DavidW says, "As long as it was highly rated by more than one person." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "...and AGT is on the Floyd upload list." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm, let me see." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Nope, one rating." | ||
| DavidW says, "(I bet we have to LOOK CAR instead of X CAR and there's no diagonals or UNDO.)" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Good catch... maybe we should reconsider." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Enh, heck, we can always quit if it's terrible." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "One sec, let me upload it." | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm eating Ah Caramels to get my blood sugar up." | ||
| says, "Gosh, there are a million files in this zip. Wonder which one I upload to Floyd." | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of inky), "Any ideas? Is it the D$$ file?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm guessing that's it. Let's see if I'm right." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But I guess no sleepmask..." | ||

| Floyd asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" | Jacqueline says, "And that answers that question." | |
| Jacqueline says, "It seems like this game has a gazillion files. Not sure how to deal with that on Floyd. I'll ask vimes or inky later and have them delete my failed upload." | ||
| inky asks, "uh, sorry, I don't actually know -- do we have any games there?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "You mean in the AGT directory?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I only have upload access, I can't see the directories." | ||
| says, "Perhaps the loading of an AGT game onto Floyd requires handling that the standard form doesn't handle." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "Only you, vimes, and Jota (maybe others, but not me) can see them." | ||
| inky says, "yeah, it looks like we drop the whole set in" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So I should upload all the files?" | ||
| inky says, "no, I should probably just do it" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And just select AGT for all of them so that they hit the same directory." | ||
| inky asks, "it's this sonofastagefright game?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay. Yeah." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Thanks." | ||
| vimes says, "dang, agt" | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Created with Malmberg and Welch's Adventure Game Toolkit Floyd | Floyd | This game is being executed by: Floyd | Floyd | AGiliTy, The (Mostly) Universal AGT Interpreter, Version 1.1.1 Floyd | Copyright (C) 1996-1999,2001 by Robert Masenten Floyd | Glk version Floyd | Floyd | Choose <I>nstructions, <A>GiliTy Information, or <other> to start the Floyd | game Floyd | | Jacqueline says, "Wowza." | |
| DavidW says, "ooooh" | ||

Floyd | I Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | INSTRUCTIONS: Floyd | Welcome to S O S, Son Of Stagefright - The Sequel. If you missed Floyd | Stagefright, I'm not surprised. It was written in SmartBasic to run Floyd | on the Coleco Adam computer (5 extra points if you remember the Adam - Floyd | 10 if you owned one). This version was completely recoded in AGT - Floyd | which I highly recommend - and the plot redeveloped and rewritten make Floyd | it more enjoyable. Floyd | Floyd | The object of the game is to find your way out of an old abandoned Floyd | theater. Along the way you'll run into creaky catwalks, raging rivers, Floyd | mini mazes, rogues, royalty, rats and a zoo keeper. You will endure Floyd | puns, perils, pratfalls, word play, bad jokes, and a mild innuendo or Floyd | two. The screen will show a running account of your predicament, and Floyd | you will enter your wishes on the keyboard. For instance, if you are Floyd | told that there is a wild man-eating kumquat behind the door, you Floyd | might enter: CLOSE THE DOOR. Floyd | Floyd | Phrase commands in a verb-noun-preposition-object order, such as THROW Floyd | (verb) THE LITTLE BOOK (noun) AT (preposition) THE FLAMING DUCK Floyd | (object). DON'T use periods, question marks, etc. at the end of the Floyd | sentence. Commands can be combined and pronouns used for repeated Floyd | references to the same thing: LIGHT THE LAMP THEN GIVE IT TO THE Floyd | BARTENDER. If something doesn't seem to work, try re-phrasing it. Floyd | (AND, THEN, "," and ";" can link commands) Floyd | Floyd | Pressing "?" brings up information on key assignments. Use the Floyd | BACKSPACE key to edit your commands. (The LEFT ARROW key is shorthand Floyd | for "WEST") Floyd | Floyd | Here are a few special commands: Floyd | Floyd | AGAIN, G - REPEAT LAST COMMAND Floyd | BRIEF - GIVE SHORT ROOM DESCRIPTIONS Floyd | COMMANDS - SHOW THIS LIST AGAIN Floyd | HELP, H - HINTS (IF AVAILABLE) Floyd | INVENTORY, I- SHOW INVENTORY Floyd | LIST EXITS - SHOW THE "ROOM'S" EXITS Floyd | LOOK, L - DESCRIBE "ROOM" Floyd | QUIT, Q - END THE GAME Floyd | RESTORE - RESTORE SAVED GAME Floyd | SAVE - SAVE GAME Floyd | SCORE - SHOW SCORE Floyd | SCRIPT - SEND MESSAGES TO PRINTER Floyd | SHOUT - TOGGLES SOUND ON/OFF Floyd | UNSCRIPT - STOP SENDING TO PRINTER Floyd | VERBOSE - GIVE FULL DESCRIPTIONS Floyd | ? - LIST OF KEY ASSIGNMENTS Floyd | Floyd | Explore and have fun with the game. PUSH, PULL, TURN, PLAY, EXAMINE Floyd | and READ any and everything. There is no telling where I might have Floyd | hidden some perverse little goodie. Watch your score. A jump upward Floyd | means you're doing well. A sudden drop probably means you just did Floyd | something that will prevent you from completing the game. SAVE the Floyd | game frequently and you will be able to "backtrack" and try different Floyd | strategies. Floyd | Floyd | If you do want to check on some point, a $5.00, one time registration Floyd | fee will give me all the incentive I need to send a map and correspond Floyd | on any and all aspects of the game. Floyd | Floyd | MIKE MCCAULEY Floyd | 1442 SORREL ST. Floyd | SIMI VALLEY, CA 93065 Floyd | Floyd | Relax and enjoy. By my count, there are only 28 ways to die. Floyd | (Nothing serious though, I assure you. Only little things like falls, Floyd | explosions, drowning, transmutations, liquification, broken heart, Floyd | embarrassment, old age, fire, mincing and the ever popular collapsing Floyd | room.)

You've studied method acting, improv, mime, Floyd | dance, movement, CPR and all the rest and now you're itching to take Floyd | your place down center like all the famous actors and actresses before Floyd | you.

Floyd | This game was created using the Adventure Game Toolkit.
Floyd |
Floyd | A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT
Floyd |
Floyd | The ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT (AGT) is designed to allow a game
Floyd | designer/writer to create and play his/her own high-quality text
Floyd | adventure games. Once created, these adventure games can be shared
Floyd | with and enjoyed by others -- even if they do not have a copy of the
Floyd | Adventure Game Toolkit themselves. Using AGT the game developer can
Floyd | create two distinct levels of adventure games:
Floyd |
Floyd | STANDARD LEVEL games that require no programming experience
Floyd | (honestly!!), only a fertile imagination. These Standard Level games
Floyd | only require that the game designer/writer generates the game using a
Floyd | word processor or text editor to describe the various locations,
Floyd | objects and results of actions that collectively make up the game.
Floyd |
Floyd | PROFESSIONAL LEVEL games that also make use of AGT's special adventure
Floyd | game metalanguage to create games as complex and rich as the game
Floyd | designer's imagination and prose style will allow. These games should
Floyd | be technically comparable with the published text adventure games from
Floyd | firms like Infocom.
Floyd |
Floyd | FEATURES OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT
Floyd |
Floyd | AGT has a number of features that make it a very comprehensive
Floyd | adventure game creation product. Some of these key features are:
Floyd |
Floyd | * "Look and feel" of Infocom adventure games with similar
Floyd | screen layout
Floyd | and standard vocabulary and routines.
Floyd |
Floyd | * Large standard vocabulary with potential to define many more
Floyd | words
Floyd | unique to a specific adventure. Typical games can have a
Floyd | vocabulary
Floyd | of 500 words or more.
Floyd |
Floyd | * Sophisticated parser that can understand (1) complex input
Floyd | commands
Floyd | including pronouns (IT, HIM, HER, THEM, MY and ITS), and (2)
Floyd | compound
Floyd | commands separated by AND or THEN or punctuation symbols, and
Floyd | (3)
Floyd | commands addressed to characters within the game. Here are a
Floyd | few
Floyd | examples of commands AGT can handle with ease:
Floyd |
Floyd | GET THE FLASH LIGHT AND THEN SWITCH IT ON
Floyd | PUT ON THE CLOAK, THEN EXAMINE IT; READ ITS LABEL
Floyd | PLACE THE GREEN ROCK AND THE SMALL PEBBLE BEHIND THE
Floyd | TREE
Floyd | ENTER THE HOUSE; GET ALL; EXIT; SOUTH; SOUTH THEN DOWN
Floyd | SULU, SET A COURSE FOR ALPHA 14
Floyd | SCOTTY, BEAM DOWN A TRICORDER AND THE QWERTY MODULE
Floyd | DROP THE FOOD, THE KEY AND THE BOTTLE THEN UNLOCK THE
Floyd | DOOR WITH
Floyd | THE BRASS KEY AND THEN LEAVE
Floyd |
Floyd | * Function and cursor keys predefined to input frequently used
Floyd | commands
Floyd | and move directions.
Floyd |
Floyd | * SCRIPT and UNSCRIPT commands to echo game output to printer.
Floyd |
Floyd | WHAT THE REVIEWERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT
Floyd |
Floyd | "Using the Adventure Game Toolkit, anyone with an ounce of imagination
Floyd | can create a text adventure game ... similar in layout and
Floyd | sophistication to those made by Infocom and other commercial
Floyd | developers."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Donald B. Trivette in PC Magazine (January 17, 1989)
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Adventure Game Toolkit (AGT) acts as a compiler which allows for
Floyd | creating remarkably complex and sophisticated games in a fairly simple
Floyd | way .... AGT's parser reminds me of Infocom's."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Scorpia in Computer Gaming World (February 1989)
Floyd |
Floyd | "If you have ever wondered what it is like to create your own
Floyd | adventure games, but didn't have the programming knowledge to do it,
Floyd | this product is for you .... The process is easy ... and you'll have
Floyd | hours of fun doing it."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Resul DeMaria in Public Domain Software & Shareware
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Adventure Game Toolkit from Softworks ... provides all the tools
Floyd | you need to build your own text based adventure games .... The
Floyd | Adventure Game Toolkit is an extrememely powerful development
Floyd | package."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Bob Napp in Big Blue Disk #30

Floyd | i Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | INSTRUCTIONS: Floyd | Welcome to S O S, Son Of Stagefright - The Sequel. If you missed Floyd | Stagefright, I'm not surprised. It was written in SmartBasic to run Floyd | on the Coleco Adam computer (5 extra points if you remember the Adam - Floyd | 10 if you owned one). This version was completely recoded in AGT - Floyd | which I highly recommend - and the plot redeveloped and rewritten make Floyd | it more enjoyable. Floyd | Floyd | The object of the game is to find your way out of an old abandoned Floyd | theater. Along the way you'll run into creaky catwalks, raging rivers, Floyd | mini mazes, rogues, royalty, rats and a zoo keeper. You will endure Floyd | puns, perils, pratfalls, word play, bad jokes, and a mild innuendo or Floyd | two. The screen will show a running account of your predicament, and Floyd | you will enter your wishes on the keyboard. For instance, if you are Floyd | told that there is a wild man-eating kumquat behind the door, you Floyd | might enter: CLOSE THE DOOR. Floyd | Floyd | Phrase commands in a verb-noun-preposition-object order, such as THROW Floyd | (verb) THE LITTLE BOOK (noun) AT (preposition) THE FLAMING DUCK Floyd | (object). DON'T use periods, question marks, etc. at the end of the Floyd | sentence. Commands can be combined and pronouns used for repeated Floyd | references to the same thing: LIGHT THE LAMP THEN GIVE IT TO THE Floyd | BARTENDER. If something doesn't seem to work, try re-phrasing it. Floyd | (AND, THEN, "," and ";" can link commands) Floyd | Floyd | Pressing "?" brings up information on key assignments. Use the Floyd | BACKSPACE key to edit your commands. (The LEFT ARROW key is shorthand Floyd | for "WEST") Floyd | Floyd | Here are a few special commands: Floyd | Floyd | AGAIN, G - REPEAT LAST COMMAND Floyd | BRIEF - GIVE SHORT ROOM DESCRIPTIONS Floyd | COMMANDS - SHOW THIS LIST AGAIN Floyd | HELP, H - HINTS (IF AVAILABLE) Floyd | INVENTORY, I- SHOW INVENTORY Floyd | LIST EXITS - SHOW THE "ROOM'S" EXITS Floyd | LOOK, L - DESCRIBE "ROOM" Floyd | QUIT, Q - END THE GAME Floyd | RESTORE - RESTORE SAVED GAME Floyd | SAVE - SAVE GAME Floyd | SCORE - SHOW SCORE Floyd | SCRIPT - SEND MESSAGES TO PRINTER Floyd | SHOUT - TOGGLES SOUND ON/OFF Floyd | UNSCRIPT - STOP SENDING TO PRINTER Floyd | VERBOSE - GIVE FULL DESCRIPTIONS Floyd | ? - LIST OF KEY ASSIGNMENTS Floyd | Floyd | Explore and have fun with the game. PUSH, PULL, TURN, PLAY, EXAMINE Floyd | and READ any and everything. There is no telling where I might have Floyd | hidden some perverse little goodie. Watch your score. A jump upward Floyd | means you're doing well. A sudden drop probably means you just did Floyd | something that will prevent you from completing the game. SAVE the Floyd | game frequently and you will be able to "backtrack" and try different Floyd | strategies. Floyd | Floyd | If you do want to check on some point, a $5.00, one time registration Floyd | fee will give me all the incentive I need to send a map and correspond Floyd | on any and all aspects of the game.

Floyd | This game was created using the Adventure Game Toolkit.
Floyd |
Floyd | A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT
Floyd |
Floyd | The ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT (AGT) is designed to allow a game
Floyd | designer/writer to create and play his/her own high-quality text
Floyd | adventure games. Once created, these adventure games can be shared
Floyd | with and enjoyed by others -- even if they do not have a copy of the
Floyd | Adventure Game Toolkit themselves. Using AGT the game developer can
Floyd | create two distinct levels of adventure games:
Floyd |
Floyd | STANDARD LEVEL games that require no programming experience
Floyd | (honestly!!), only a fertile imagination. These Standard Level games
Floyd | only require that the game designer/writer generates the game using a
Floyd | word processor or text editor to describe the various locations,
Floyd | objects and results of actions that collectively make up the game.
Floyd |
Floyd | PROFESSIONAL LEVEL games that also make use of AGT's special adventure
Floyd | game metalanguage to create games as complex and rich as the game
Floyd | designer's imagination and prose style will allow. These games should
Floyd | be technically comparable with the published text adventure games from
Floyd | firms like Infocom.
Floyd |
Floyd | FEATURES OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT
Floyd |
Floyd | AGT has a number of features that make it a very comprehensive
Floyd | adventure game creation product. Some of these key features are:
Floyd |
Floyd | * "Look and feel" of Infocom adventure games with similar
Floyd | screen layout
Floyd | and standard vocabulary and routines.
Floyd |
Floyd | * Large standard vocabulary with potential to define many more
Floyd | words
Floyd | unique to a specific adventure. Typical games can have a
Floyd | vocabulary
Floyd | of 500 words or more.
Floyd |
Floyd | * Sophisticated parser that can understand (1) complex input
Floyd | commands
Floyd | including pronouns (IT, HIM, HER, THEM, MY and ITS), and (2)
Floyd | compound
Floyd | commands separated by AND or THEN or punctuation symbols, and
Floyd | (3)
Floyd | commands addressed to characters within the game. Here are a
Floyd | few
Floyd | examples of commands AGT can handle with ease:
Floyd |
Floyd | GET THE FLASH LIGHT AND THEN SWITCH IT ON
Floyd | PUT ON THE CLOAK, THEN EXAMINE IT; READ ITS LABEL
Floyd | PLACE THE GREEN ROCK AND THE SMALL PEBBLE BEHIND THE
Floyd | TREE
Floyd | ENTER THE HOUSE; GET ALL; EXIT; SOUTH; SOUTH THEN DOWN
Floyd | SULU, SET A COURSE FOR ALPHA 14
Floyd | SCOTTY, BEAM DOWN A TRICORDER AND THE QWERTY MODULE
Floyd | DROP THE FOOD, THE KEY AND THE BOTTLE THEN UNLOCK THE
Floyd | DOOR WITH
Floyd | THE BRASS KEY AND THEN LEAVE
Floyd |
Floyd | * Function and cursor keys predefined to input frequently used
Floyd | commands
Floyd | and move directions.
Floyd |
Floyd | * SCRIPT and UNSCRIPT commands to echo game output to printer.
Floyd |
Floyd | WHAT THE REVIEWERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT
Floyd |
Floyd | "Using the Adventure Game Toolkit, anyone with an ounce of imagination
Floyd | can create a text adventure game ... similar in layout and
Floyd | sophistication to those made by Infocom and other commercial
Floyd | developers."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Donald B. Trivette in PC Magazine (January 17, 1989)
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Adventure Game Toolkit (AGT) acts as a compiler which allows for
Floyd | creating remarkably complex and sophisticated games in a fairly simple
Floyd | way .... AGT's parser reminds me of Infocom's."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Scorpia in Computer Gaming World (February 1989)
Floyd |
Floyd | "If you have ever wondered what it is like to create your own
Floyd | adventure games, but didn't have the programming knowledge to do it,
Floyd | this product is for you .... The process is easy ... and you'll have
Floyd | hours of fun doing it."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Resul DeMaria in Public Domain Software & Shareware
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Adventure Game Toolkit from Softworks ... provides all the tools
Floyd | you need to build your own text based adventure games .... The
Floyd | Adventure Game Toolkit is an extrememely powerful development
Floyd | package."
Floyd |
Floyd | -- Bob Napp in Big Blue Disk #30
