Adventure writing framework
Posted: Mon May 11, 2020 4:19 pm
Hi all
I have been creating an adventure writing framework that is built outside of the computer it is to be used on (i.e. built on a PC) - https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic ... 65&t=19303 - in theory if someone were to take the contents of the Output folder and dump it into a disc image that has Z80 BBC BASIC in it, it should be possible to *EXEC the tmp.txt file into RAM and then run it (or save it as the correctly tokenised file). I have no idea if the rest of the game will work as it loads in data from data files but if Basic constructed data files in Z80 beeb basic have the same format as beeb basic data files then it should just work.
It may also need to some folder structure tweaks as it is written for DFS not CPM.
I would do this but my TC01 is still awaiting repair.
