Short: EAC 1.4b update from ENGiNE NiNE DESiGN Author: Matt Briggs Uploader: engine9 onlineamiga demon co uk Type: game/text Architecture: m68k-amigaos What is EAC? ------------ So how many text adventures are there around the world? mmm... let me count. 1.2.20.145..214... Okay, so there's a hell of a lot of them, and just about all of them are pretty boring, and with most text adventures you are given some text and a rather sad text input requester for you to type `Go north' or `Go south' countless times. EAC is not like that at all. There's is no typing, and the adventure possibilities are endless, with it's AmigaGuide style programming language. By using a simple text editor such as Ed or Transwrite, it is possible to easily create wonderful text adventures for PD release. With EAC it is possible to include IFF ILBM pictures into your text adventures, which quickly remap to your current workbench palette. Standard tracker modules can also be added into your adventures to give them that extra bit of atmosphere. You can also place items such as keys, weapons and treasure in your adventures by using a simple variable system. EAC v1.4B now has some of the following features: * Tracker handler de-bugged, which caused problems on various machines (I think * DIV: (Divide) and MUL: (Multiply) commands added. * Extensions to ADD: , SUB: , DIV: and MUL: . It is now possible to do: ADD:[Variable]:[Variable] :) * Bloody hell! The `Ignore colour' option now works properly! * EAC is now a commodity, allowing you to make the interface appear and disappear using the hotkey: `LALT, LSHIFT and E' * The Default text and background colour can now be altered. * Improved IFF ILBM scrolling :) * New `DEBUG' mode, which forces EAC to use only chip memory. This may solve any incompatibility problems with various accelerators. Read the guides for more information. Look out for: ------------- Blocks : A great columns type game.
