 VII. A detailed description of the database.

The database consists of several
interrelated tables. Contained within
much diverse information, such as
values ​​of background colors, the number of objects
which can carry, character sets and
etc. At 128K machines main areas
Data and Indices exist for each
RAM page. In fact, each
this page is an independent base
data. Tables are divided into (in order of their location in 
memory): 

 1) UDG (symbol table graphics, user-defined) This table, which 
occupies 152 bytes, contains the characters UDG, that can be 
modified in the editor characters, which will be described 
below. Cheats UDG is in the range from 144 to 162.


 2) Shades (table textures) This table
occupies 128 bytes and contains graphic
the texture, which can be modified in the editor characters. 
Their codes we find   converge in the range of 0 to 15.


These two tables are loaded / saved together and defined as a 
character set 0 in spite of the fact that the ROM set


  use codes 32 through 127.

 3) Miscellaneous (table for all
stuff) a few small tables and variables, the total length - 50 
bytes. 

 4) Character Sets (a table of character
sets) This table is empty until
until you enter a character set by using the editor of symbols. 
768 byte is used for each dose

character set.

 5) Dictionary (dictionary compressor) This
table occupies only 1 byte long
until the first time will not be used Compressor to compress 
the database. After that, it holds 222 bytes, needed for that 
then, instead of tokens with codes from 165 to 255 to write the 
groups of letters that these tokens are replaced. 

 6) The Process tables or the process table form 'heart' of the 
database providing basic management game.


 7) The Response Table, or table of responses, whose rows 
contain numeric meaning of the verb and noun logical proposals 
that are needed to with kondaktami. If during a game

This table is a line that coincides with the verb and noun 1
introduced by LS, then the following kondakty.
Kondakty those that may be present and
their actions are fully considered in the description of the 
interpreter. The ordering of the rows in the table is growing 
Along with the verb. Rows with the same number of the verb 
should be placed in ascending order, with number of the noun. 
Line with the same number of verb and noun are in the same 
sequence that were entered into the database. Word "_" Has a 
value of 255, and "*" is value of 1. Example of the order of 
the table, where meaning of the words in brackets:


* (1) * (1)
 LOOK (30) UP (10)
LOOK (30) DOWN (11)
 LOOK (30) _ (255)
 GET (100) * (1)
GET (100) KEY (16)
GET (100) LAMP (26)
GET (100) LAMP (26)
 _ (255) _ (255)

Other processes are stored in a table
the same format, but ignores words PAW
while scanning the table until
if the process was not called from the table answers the action 
PROCESS. 

 8) Process 1, it scans the PAW after describing the location 
to print more information which forms part of the description 
of the location. 

 9) Process 2 of its scans PAW after each time frame, ie after 
each sentence imposed by the player and after each

empty action.

Any other subprocesses follow
initial three if initialized
optional Process option (Options processes) from the main menu.

Verb and noun used
in each row in Tables 1 and processes
2 (and any subprocesses resulting from
them) have no meaning, because they
ignored, but can be used
as a commentary on the action of this string
table.

Each process table has a header of 7 bytes (21 bytes used to 
empty the database, because 3 of the table, including here and 
a table of responses already present). Each line uses 5 bytes, 
and kondakt each - 1 to 3, depending

the number of parameters.

Note: If you delete a word from the dictionary, and no synonym 
for this word is not present, then all rows in the table of 
processes, including the table of responses containing vshie 
word are also removed. 

 10) The Object Text table (a table of descriptions of objects) 
has a line for each object and contains the text that appears 
when you need a description of the object. Each string is 3 
bytes plus the length of text. In adventyure object is

everything that can be manipulated, and objects are numbered 
from 0 upwards serial number. The object 0 is taken

interpreter for the source of light. When
Whatever created a new text object,
line of not-created (not generated) written for him at the 
table Initially at (Table original position), line

"_ _" Written in the words of the table objects, weight of one 
piece with no attributes odevaemosti container and stored in 
the table weight. 

 11) The Location Text table (table
descriptions of locations) has a row for each
location and contains the text that appears in the description 
of the location. Each row occupies 3 bytes plus the length of 
the text. Rows are numbered from 0 upwards serial number, and 
location 0 is locations start. Whenever sozavalas

location, the zero line for this location
inserted into the connection table.

 12) The Message Text table (table posts) This table contains 
the text of all messages used in the game. Messages

are numbered from 0 in the direction of increasing their
ordinal numbers, and each of them occupy maet 3 bytes plus the 
length of the text. 

 13) The System Messages (table system messages) This table 
contains the messages used by the interpreter. Each of them 
occupies 3 bytes plus the length of text. Use of these messages 
is shown in the description of the interpreter. Additional 
system messages can be written by the creator of the game, if 
they Therefore, necessary.


 14) The Connections table (connection table) contains the 
lines for each location, and each line can be either empty or 
contain a certain amount 'Pairs of motion'. A pair of motion 
contains value of the word (verb or noun kovertiruemogo) from 
the dictionary, followed by a number of locations. This means 
that every verb (or kovertiruemoe noun) with these words 
provide a transition to a specified location. For example, the 
string: 

SOUTH EAST 6 7 6 LEAVE NORTH 5

means that if the team will SOUTH,
LEAVE or their synonyms, it will move to location 6, if the 
EAST or sinonimy, the location 7, and if NORTH

or its synonyms, the location 5. Each
line uses 3 bytes, plus a pair of
bytes for each pair of movement.

Notes:

 1: Each pair of motion does not contain the word itself, and 
its number. If the number of words remove from the dictionary, 
then all the pairs of motion containing this number of the 
word, will also removed.


 2: During the game, only the verb of the LS
provide movement.

 3: If the movement is carried out
rows from a table using the answer
of GOTO, there will be no need for the connection table as long 
as this line no need for movement PSI

(Psevdointellektualnogo character that
controlled by a computer).

 15) The Vocabulary (vocabulary game) Each
row of the table uses 7 bytes
contains the word or the first 5 letters, if
it is the length, type words from 0 to 6 and number
words from 2 to 254. Types of words are as follows:

 0 - verb
 1 - adverb

   2 - noun
 3 - adjective
 4 - excuse
 5 - Union
 6 - pronoun

Words with the same number of words are called synonyms. 
Strings are stored in accordance with the increase of the 
meanings of words, and if the number of words is the same for 
several words, the first is something that has more spaces, for 
example: 

 U
 UP
 CLIMB
 ASCEN (D)

If the strings with the same numbers
words of the same number of spaces, then the word that was 
introduced earlier is used, ie CLIMB introduced earlier than 
ASCEN (D). 

Notes:

 1: Where would the editor do not have to pass on the word to 
the very word, he will take first-encountered word with a given 
desired type. 

 2: Verbs and nouns are converted to a value below 14 should
be reserved for words that denote movement.

 16) The Object Initially At table (table of the original 
position of objects) This table contains 1 byte for each row

(For each object), indicating the number
location, which is currently
object during launch adventyury. It may also be located on a 
player, he or be not-created (not created).


 17) The Object Word table, or table
word objects contains 2 bytes per object, the bytes are numbers 
of the noun and adjective associated with the object.


 18) The Object Weight and Attribute table (table of weights 
and the attributes of objects) This table contains byte per 
line. Bit 7 is used to show whether or not this object is worn 
(ie WR option). Bit 6 is used to show whether the object is a 
container (option C), and bits 1 to 5 determine the weight of 
an object, which varies from 0 to 63. 

Graphic area of ​​the database grows
down from the top of memory.

 19) The Location Flags or flag locations. Table of uses in 
bytes per picture. Bit 7 determines whether draw a picture on 
arrival at the location, ie that location is not a 'routine'). 
Bits c 0 to 5 describe the initial color of the paper and ink 
for a picture. Bit 6 is not used. 

 20) The Picture Table (table of images)
Each row has 3 bytes
plus the length of the drawstring (droustringa - a sequence of 
drawing commands). Always the number of rows equals the number 
of locations. Droustring is a set of teams of various lengths, 
which reduce the amount of memory needed for

get the picture.

 21) The Pointers (table pointer)
It contains the major indexes database
data.

 VIII. A detailed description of the Editor.

Each menu option will be described in order of appearance.

 1) Vocabulary (Dictionary).

 Insert I word No. Type (Vvecti)

No. is in the range from 2 to 254
a Type 0 to 6. If the word word is not
present in the dictionary, it is inserted
with the value No. and the type Type.

 Delete D word (Remove).

If the word is a word in the dictionary,
it itself, its type and value are removed. If the dictionary 
contains synonyms deleted words, no action for

removal of the word is not followed.
If the synonyms of the word will not appear,
then:

 a) all rows of processes used
   value for the remote generators words will
also be removed;

 b) if the value is less than 14 words, then all

   movement in the connection table, which
   torye use the value of remote

   words will also be deleted.

 c) all rows of words objects to
   torye use the value of remote

   words are set to zero.

 Show synonyms S word (See synonyms)

If the word word is in the dictionary, it and all other words 
that have the same value and type are printed on the screen. 
Note that if you use it convertible for nouns, and their

slightly less than 20, all verbs, synonyms
will also be printed, and vice versa.

 Print P (Type) or L (Type) (Print)

Printing is carried out or the screen (P), or
Printer (L). If type Type,
then printed words only this type.

Notes:

 1: Be careful when using the removal, because it can affect 
the tables processes, compounds and words, objects.

Removal may also be time consuming
(Minutes), if the database is large.

 2: Nouns and verbs with a value of less than 14, conceived as 
a word of movement, so it will be printed SM7 ("I can't go in 
that direction. "" I can not go there. ") instead of SM8 (" I 
can't do that " "I can not do it.").


 3: The words with numbers from 2 to 254 can
be used for each type of words.
They are not synonymous, as will
different types. This allows us to get more than 250 words for 
each type, and it is not including synonyms.


 2) Location Text (text locations).

 Insert I (Insert)

If it was inserted into the maximal number of
locations, we get the error "Limit Reached"
"Limit reached". Otherwise
is the next available location number of the largest in number 
of used RAM pages displayed on the options Free Memory (free 
memory), and inserted for this location zero

text to a table describing the location. Then
resumes and automatically invoked routine that allows the 
creator to fix the game just recorded in the table descriptions 
of locations of zero text. 

 Begin new Page B (Start new page)

If all the RAM page were used or were inserted into the game 
maximum number of locations, then the error will appear "Limit

Reached "" limit has been reached. "Otherwise
If at the next free RAM page is created zero database and 
writes the next free number location. Then work is resumed with 
a call subroutine, which allows creators of the game

zero change text on a new page.



 Amend A locno. (Correct)

The existing text location locno. copied into the input buffer 
and is displayed in bottom of the screen for correction. By

pressing ENTER the earlier text
is replaced by the contents of the input buffer.

 Print P (locno.) or L (locno.) (print)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P),
either the printer (L). Printing begins
location with a number locno., in the absence of this option - 
from the outset. 

Notes:

 1: Home games are always going to location 0.
 2: The maximum may be 252
locations ..
- 3: You can not start a new page
if all the numbers available locations are already occupied.

 3) Connections (Connections).

 Amend A locno. (Correct)

The existing line for location locno.
decoded and copied into the input buffer and
printed at the bottom of the screen for correction. By pressing 
the ENTER input buffer must either be empty or contain

format string word locno., repeating
several times. word should be a verb or a noun convertible,
located in the dictionary, and locno. must
in a table describing locations.

If there are no syntax errors discovered, the previously 
existing line will be replaced with encrypted copy of input 
buffer, ie all the words will be replaced by their values. 

 Print P (locno.) or L locno. (Seal)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P),
either the printer (L). Printing begins
location with a number locno., in the absence of it - from the 
outset. 

Notes:

 1: Description of location must be present before they will be 
present line for this location in the connection table.


 2: Every verb (or noun convertible that is in the dictionary 
can be used in the connection table, not just words for the 
movement. 

 3: When a string is decoded to correct the press, or number of 
the word is replaced at the first available verb (or 
convertible noun), which will be found in the dictionary that 
has the same meaning. 

 4) Graphics (Graphics).

 Amend A picno. (Correct)

Graphical database expands
for empty space at the end of the desired image. Then there is 
the entrance to the main loop graphic editor, which will be 
described below. To get out of it still remains an empty space 
is removed. 

Note: Unlike editing
text, there is a change in base
data, so you can not stop
editing revoke the action CAPS SHIFT '& 6, as command is 
executed NEXT. 

 Size S (Size)

Calculates and prints the number of bytes
located between the start of the current droustringa and the 
beginning of the next. 

 Print, Copy and Dump. P picno., C picno.
and D picno. (Print, copy, and
save)

picno. should always be defined.
If you select (P), then the name is queried
file. The desired image is drawn on
screen. If you select (C), then called
printer commands COPY (a more detailed
description is in the section on printers). If you chose (D), 
is recorded SCREEN $ file (16384.6912), which can

then be used as a screensaver for the game or it can be edited 
in any another image editor. Note

that the SCREEN $ file could not be loaded into
database.

 5) Default Colours (default colors).

 Amend A picno. (Paper Ink) (Correct)

In order to be able to find out what
Image picno. a subprogramme
until then, until they are installed
color paper and ink PAPER INK, a flag is set. When they are 
identified, it will be saved as color default for this picture. 
All those locations that do not require images to be  installed 
as a subprogramme. 

 Print P or L (Print)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
or a printer. If the location is not
subprogramme, it will be printed in color.

 6) Messages (Communications).

 Insert I (Insert)

Located next available number
message for him, introduced a zero
line in the message table for the highest
used RAM page (shown
in options Free Memory). An automatic call to the procedure for 
correction, that the creator could fix the zero

line.

 Begin new Page B (Start new page)

For the next available message number is recorded on the next 
page of RAM, if it was initialized from the menu descriptions 
of locations. Otherwise an error occurs "Page not initialised"

"Page can not be initialized." Processing
continues to run automatically
routines to fix the creator
playing a zero line.

 Amend A mesno. (Correct)

Existing post mesno. copied into the input buffer and printed 
at the bottom of the screen for correction. By pressing

ENTER the earlier text is replaced by the contents of the input 
buffer. 

 Print P (mesno.) or L (mesno.) (print)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L). Printing begins
message number mesno., in the absence of indication of the 
number - from the outset. 

Notes:

 1: There is a limit of 255 messages, but because You can paste 
and print system messages, they may also

use in a game that enables the use of 510 messages, although 
some of them have already been used.


 2: You can not start a new page
messages before initialize
Page by posting on her location.

 7) System Messages (System messages)

 Insert (Paste)

Next available number of system
message is for him, writes a zero row in the table system
Posts 0 Page RAM. Then the automatic procedure call
to correct the creator of the game Zero
line.

 Amend A mesno. (Correct)

The current system message mesno. copied into the input buffer 
and printed at the bottom of the screen for correction. By

pressing ENTER the earlier text
is replaced by the contents of the input buffer.

 Print P (mesno.) or L (mesno.)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L). Printing begins
System messages nomeaom mesno., a
with no indication of the number - from the
beginning.

Notes:

 1: In the description of the interpreter are listed
cases, during which the use
system messages, but text messages
can be changed, for example, instead of "I" "I" use "You" 
"You", ie a "You're not wearing it" "On you

is not wearing, or for use
another language, but be careful
save the value of these system messages.

 2: Posts 30 and 31 actually
reports are not, but they contain positive and negative 
responses used in kondaktah QUIT and END. So beware, if you 
change them, because END is the main way to getting back to the 
editor of the interpreter. You should not make them longer than 
one letter, otherwise the compressor can be used in these 
tokens. 

 3: SM10 ("(worn)" "(wearing)") has
length, calculated INVEN. This means
that it should not contain any control codes and must be 
entered again if the compressor uses it tokens. In order to 
correctly calculate the location on the screen, this system 
message should begin with a space. 

 4: SM34 (cursor) may contain any
control codes, but should not move
print position more than 1 space, so
otherwise the entry will be incorrect. Each
entered letters will be temporary
color until the end of the message.

 5: The remaining 202 messages can be
used for the needs of the creator of the game, but
so as not to be equivalent to an action
MESSAGE, then the action must be NEWLINE

  performed when necessary.

 6: PAW uses the messages from 54 to 60.
Do you have to keep in mind if you're going to translate your 
game to another system. 

 8) Object Text (description of objects).

 Insert I (Insert)

The next available room facility is located and that it 
recorded zero row in the table Object Text. In table

Initially at (table of the original position) recorded a string 
not-created, in Table Object Word (word table objects) recorded 
'_', and in Table Object Weight (weight table objects) recorded

weight in one unit without the kinds of attributes. Then the 
automatic call to a procedure to correct the creator of the 
game a zero row in the table Object Text.


 Amend A objno. (Correct)

The existing text object objno.
copied into the input buffer and printed in
bottom of the screen for correction. By
pressing ENTER the earlier text
is replaced by the contents of the input buffer.

 Print P (objno.) or L (objno.) (print)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L). Printing begins
describe an object with nomeaom objno., and if
no indication of numbers - from the outset.

Notes:

 1: An object 0 is taken by the interpreter
a source of light.

 2: There is a limit on the number of objects. Maximum - 255.

 9) Object Initially At (table rape
  initial position of objects)

This table specifies the number of locations,
which is the subject at the beginning of the game.

 Amend A objno. locno. (Correct)

Existing row object objno.
replaced by locno., who must either
in the table Location Text (table descriptions of locations), 
or be equal to number spetslokatsy:


 252 - not-created (not created),
 253 - worn (wearing)
 254 - carried (carries the player).

 Print P or L (Print)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L).

Note: The description of the object must be present before it 
will be determined starting location.


 10) The Object Word (word table objects).

 Amend A objno.Noun Adjective (Correct)

Existing row object objno.
is replaced by the value of Noun and Adjective
(Noun and adjective), which must be in the dictionary 
(Vocabulary) or be equal to '_', which means installation of 
lines to zero. 

 Print P or L (Print)

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L).

 11) The Object Weight (weight of objects).

 Amend A objno. Weight Option (Correct)

Existing row object objno.
is replaced by the weight of the Weight option and Option.
Weight should be in the range from 0 to
64. Options include:

 0 - Normal object
 1 - The object is a container
/ 2 - The object is a portable / removable
 3 - Bodypack / rent container

 Print P or L

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L). After the weights can
be printed in characters 'C' if the object
is a container and / or 'WR', if it
wearable / rent.

Notes:

 1: You can specify the container
only if there is a location with the same number. PAW considers 
such a location as the container interior space. 

 2: In a container with a weight of 0, all objects
will weigh 0 (while they are in a container).
This can be used to produce various 'magic bags' levitation
conveyors, etc.

 12) The Process (including Response)
-Tables Tables of processes (including the table
Replies)

Two options are available only from the submenu
main table of processes:

 Begin new Table B (Post a new table)

Located next available number
processes and creates a zero table. Processing resumes with a 
call option to select the table (Select Table) c new number 
table. 

 Select table S No. (Select the table)

Desired table gets status only
what to choose, then re-appears
submenu.

The other options are available from the submenu
two tables:

 Amend A Verb Noun (n) (Correct)

If the number n string is not specified, then the first row of 
tables Verb and Noun (Verb and a noun) is copied to the 
clipboard input and output in the bottom of the screen

for correction. If this number is
indicated (ranging from 0 to the number of inserted rows minus 
1), then all this happens with a line of the given number. By 
pressing the ENTER input buffer is checked for void, and if it 
is empty, the string with the specified number removed. If the 
same buffer will not be empty, in the absence of syntax errors 
string entered number will be replaced by the contents of the 
buffer. All other rows from the table with the same

meaning of the verb and noun will also be displayed at the 
bottom of the screen for correction.


 Insert I Verb Noun (n) (Insert)

Verb and noun should be
any word from the vocabulary (Vocabulary), or
'_' Or '*'. Meaning of the verb and a noun ('_' is set to 255, 
and '*' - Set to 1) are used for

to find the right place at the table
created for the new line. If you already have
There are lines for such a verb / noun, but no one number n 
string not specified, the new line will be inserted after the 
existing lines. Otherwise, the line will be placed before line 
number. Within results site recorded a zero row and routine is 
called to change the creation Telem games this zero line. 

Kondakty that can be used,
given in the description of the interpreter and
 appendix at the end of the manual.

 Print P (Verb (Noun)) or L (Verb (Noun))

Printing takes place either on the screen (P)
either the printer (L) starts with the first
line that has the same meaning as
verb / noun. If the verb or
noun is not specified, it assumes a value equal to 0, and so on
default, printing will start from the table.

Notes:

 1: To remove the line, enough to cause her to rectify (Amend) 
and remove all derived in the bottom of the screen.


 2: There is a limit on the number of tables processes. Maximum 
- 255. Calls can be nested to level 10, after What an error.


 13) Extra Options (Advanced Options).

Prints continuation of the main menu.

 14) Test Adventure (game testing).

You are prompted "Do you require di.agnostics?" - "Do I need a 
diagnosis?" And any answer other than "Y" "D" will be

constitute a waiver. After this happens
transition to the interpreter. If you select a diagnosis, in 
any place where I used the internal subroutine shell, pressing 
ENTER when empty input line will print the value

Flag with promptom input. Here you
can enter a number of other flags that you want to see, or "=" 
followed by a number that will install in The current flags 
specified value. Pressing ENTER will return in the input.


The main way to return to the editor
from the interpreter is to perform
END actions in the process table.

 15) Free Memory (free memory).

Published for the number of unused bytes
RAM on each page. Those pages that were not initialize, show
as "Unused" "Not used" and, if
Page 7 contains overlays, it is also
displayed. Following this list will be printed on every list of 
the last page of posts and locations that you

could track them.

Note: The 48K machine will be displayed
only page 0.

 16) Background Colours (background color).

It can be installed the correct value of BORDER, PAPER and INK. 
It is recommended to install INK 9 (ie, contrasting color ink), 
but keep in mind that in the bottom of the screen INK 9 behaves 
somewhat differently. 

Besides, if the database were
put some character sets,
here you can give them the status of major.

 17) Characters (Characters).

Symbols represent a matrix
8x8 and determine what will look like on screen letters, digits,
punctuation, UDG and texture. Initially,
there is a single character set - the one that flashed in the 
ROM (ROM). He also contains 16 textures (codes from 0 to

15), 19 characters UDG (codes from 144 to 162)
and is called Set 0 (set 0).

 Insert I (Insert)

If the number of character sets not reached its peak, then 
released the next available number set in the symbol table 
(Character Set) are inserted into 768 bytes, to copy the 
contents of 96 characters with codes from 32 to 127 of ROM, 
otherwise If an error occurs "Limit reached"

"Limit reached".

 Amed A set character (Correct)

Symbol character from the set set is copied to the screen for 
editing. From the set 0 can be edited only with symbols

codes from 0 to 15 and from 144 to 162, then
while of the remaining sets can only
be edited characters with codes from
32 to 127. The editor screen will be 3 areas:

 1. Net.

In this part of the screen you can see the symbol, increased by 
8 times and shown in a grid of white and yellow squares,

and each is responsible for his bit in the symbol. On the grid 
can also see a red flashing box - it shows the location of the 
cursor. 

 2. Verification region.

Nets to the right you can see two windows in
which you can see a symbol such as
if it was a texture in the normal and
inversion condition. These images are not
change in the editing process of the symbol, but can be redrawn 
by pressing 'R'.
