Just tested the game for 24 hours straight. I hope I haven't missed anything critical.

Enjoy the game! Writing a non-linear adventure game presented more challenges than needed, and testing all possible cases was time consuming. I hope that I haven't missed anything. i will publish the source file a bit later - I have to tidy up the excel files I created for the game and all of the as...

Thank you Dilwyn - it works

Edline_minerva_code works with all ROMs as long as I load it with LRESPR But when I try to include it in the compiled program it crashes when it returns the entered text. I use Liberator compiler, so I have to add the directive REMark $$asmb$$-Filename, INIT, TABLE Normally Init is 0 and Table is th...

Edline_code doesn't work with Minerva or SMSQE Edline_minerva_code I presume it doesn't work with any other ROMS except Minerva and SMSQ/E I'm pretty sure your presumption is wrong, so the question is moot ;) It's only called this way because it was a rewrite from Lau. It should work on all OSes. T...

The Superbasic Online Manual says "You need a special version of EDLINE$ to work correctly on Minerva and SMS. This version is included with the DIY Toolkit package." In DIT there are 2 versions of edline: edline_code and edline_minerva_code Edline_code doesn't work with Minerva or SMSQE E...

Thank you Dilwyn!

Thank you Dilwyn!
I extracted the code from turbo_tk_code

I am suspecting you are really needing to use the function DEVICE_STATUS, where the file is not open yet. No - I have checked with the file opend. My assembled code is not working. When calling the same function from Turbo Toolkit, it works. I presume that it is not working because I did something ...

If the Turbo Toolkit function does what you want, you could probably use the DEA software to extract the keyword as assembler source and amend it to do what you want. Instructions on using DEA to do this at https://quanta.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/QUANTA-HELPLINE-35.pdf . Or you could look ...
