Re: Old School Text Advenure System
The majority of people who currently write text adventures use one of the systems that can export files in a Z-machine format, as there are interpreters for most disk-based platforms.

Re: Old School Text Advenure System
Interesting.
Is this a text only system? I've been looking for something that doesn't include graphics.
Would it be practical (for others) to create players/interpreters for 8-bit systems?
I would be interested in testing if the answer to both questions is "yes".
You might want to consider ...

Platform agnostic C code output
It would be nice if there was an option for platform agnostic code output for the C backend when creating text only console programs, so that more targets could be supported via the appropriate C compilers.
For example, SDCC or z88dk could be used to target Z80 machines.
Nim has this option and ...

Re: Using PureBasic to create websites?
Thanks. The Dynamic Dialogues module in that thread looks like it would make the process easier. I'm not sure if any of my screens will need to have quite so many different types of input areas as in Andre's example, but overall the total might well be similar.

Re: DynamicDialogs - creating dynamic Dialogs the easy way .
But because I never use this combination for my own I just want to ask, if there is any interest / need for this improvement to make sure it's worth the effort.

Re: Using PureBasic to create websites?
I've read a little more of the manual and am now thinking that using SQLite to store most of the data would be a good move.
I haven't yet decided whether to store the HTML for each post in the database too, as I'm not sure whether people would need an option to edit them in an external HTML editor ...

Re: Ordinal number function in PureBasic?
Thanks, Little John. That also worked and is slightly easier to understand.
I tested both of the latest versions on numbers over 1000 too, and they still work as expected.

Re: Ordinal number function in PureBasic?
I'm afraid that one is broken at 11, 12, 13, 111, 112, 113 etc. as it prints 11st, 12nd, 13rd, 111st, 112nd, 113rd etc.

Re: Ordinal number function in PureBasic?
That seems to work up to 110th, but then outputs:-
It does the same from 211 onwards too.
I'm afraid that I don't know PureBasic well enough (yet) to fix it.
Code: Select all
111st
112nd
113rd
114th
115th
116th
117th
118th
119th
120th

Ordinal number function in PureBasic?
Is there a built-in function to add a suffix to a number to create an ordinal number? By that, I mean, is there a way to change 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.?
This isn't for dates, so would need to work for numbers over 31 too.

Re: Using PureBasic to create websites?
Marc56us : Thanks. It looks like the preferences option would be the easiest to understand (for me and other users). Being able to write comments in the file from within the program is a handy feature.

Re: Using PureBasic to create websites?
I've reached chapter 71 of the PDF version of the manual, so far. There are quite a few commands and functions that look like they would be useful. :)
