TEMPLENG

TEMPLENG is a text adventure game engine based on my earlier, standalone EttinOS port of In the Temple.

Syntax: TEMPLENG DATAFILE.DAT

Press any key other than escape to start the game or to return back to the beginning after an ending, the corresponding number to choose an option in a non-ending scene, or escape to quit the game.

TEMPLE

Included in the package is TEMPLE, a TEMPLENG port of the web-based text adventure game In the Temple by nortti. Its original readme is reproduced here:

A small game about a visit to a temple and the reasons for doing so.

Can be played online at https://ahti.space/~nortti/in-the-temple/ or at https://nortti.itch.io/in-the-temple

The game is distributed under the Creative Commons Zero 1.0 Universal license.

The data files

A data file consists of an intro text ending in a null followed by any number of scenes. See the included TEMPLE.DAT for an example.

A scene begins with a start of heading (0x1) and consists of its ID, the number of options it has, and the scene text, all ending in a null. The ID of a scene consists of a string of numbers representing the choices that lead to it, and can be between 2 and 255 characters long including the null. The ID of the first scene is 0. The number of options can be anything between 0 and 9, 0 indicating an ending. The options of a scene must point to scenes placed after it in the data file. The scene text should not exceed 24 lines or all of it won't fit on the screen at once.
