Version 1.1.2 of the AGiliTy interpreter, with the following changes:
- Added a STABLE_RANDOM configuration option. When enabled, the interpreter will use a fixed algorithm to generate random numbers, allowing log files to be created that will work on any system.
- In the "tests" directory there are now log files that play through The Multi-dimensional Thief and Shades of Gray to completion. The intention is to add further log files for other games in time, as tests of the interpreter. Note that the above STABLE_RANDOM configuration option must be turned on to use these log files.
- Substitutions generated by the interpreter's main loop are handled correctly. For example, dying in Shades of Gray no longer results in a "$You$ have died" message.
- Metacommands overriding two-word synonyms built into the interpreter (such as GET OUT, which is a synonym for OUT) are handled.
- The ability of metacommands to use expansions like $noun$ has been enabled for the AGT 1.5 variants.
- The logic to set up roomflags when reading from DA1 files was not quite right. This has been fixed, and has been enabled for the AGT 1.5 variants. As a result, The Multi-dimensional Thief is finishable. Note that if you have a version of a game affected by this change as an AGX file, you will need to re-generate the AGX file from the original AGT data files.
- The version of AGT used by Shades of Gray can override SCREAM in a dummy verb.
- The order in which dummy verbs are scanned when parsing now better matches the order used in the original AGT interpreters.
- Smart disambiguation is on by default for AGT 1.5 and later.
- For pre-Magx games, GetNumberInput always returns a number in the range of a 16-bit signed integer, that is, between -32768 and 32767.
In addition, the Windows port has been improved with support for the original IBM DOS character set. This makes title pages and the occasional graphics in games (such as the tarot cards in Shades of Gray) look rather better.
