Help I need a textgame builder!!!!
see...@mala.bc.ca
combat system either already built in or, that can have a combat system built
in to it. I have TADS, but I dont care for that system to much. I would love to
get my hands on a copie of Emons world, or somthing like it. I'am currently
using Advent 0.1 but I find it's inflexabillity with flags hard to work around,
if anyone could help I'd be very gratefull :) I'd like either an ftp site where
I could download a builder or you can E-Mail me at the address below.
Thanks in advance for your help -Nathan

It is a really good system. You can program a combat system in Tads.
A simple one is in programming/tads/examples/monster.t in the
if-archive.

This was a BASIC system to create adventure games. One started with a
skeleton model and added elements specific to the adventure. There was
a fairly good system built-in to handle combat and NPCs (though
interaction was limited -- they help you if friendly, attack you if not,
and ignore you if neutral).
As I understand, there were 20-some games written in it for the Apple II;
I have only seen the intro module and one (not very good) game for the PC.
It was released around 1984 or so.

The source code to a more recent (maybe 1989?) EAMON was in COMPUTIST
magazine. Well over a hundred EAMON adventures have been written.
I haven't played any, and can't say how good they are. They're
really cheap (or were). I believe it used a 2-word parser.
Definitely geared toward combat.
