Welcome to the game.... The One-Room Game An Interactive, But Very Simple, Experience Copyright 2000 by J. Random Ostenveldt. Release 1 / Serial number 000000 / Inform v6.21 Library 6/10 A Room Not much here. >verbose The One-Room Game is now in its "verbose" mode, which always gives long descriptions of locations (even if you've been there before). |
Note the line-break in the middle of the "verbose" message. (A line-break followed by a space, actually.) What causes this? I will tell you now:
! Wrong ! Constant Story "The One-Room Game^"; Constant Headline "An Interactive, But Very Simple, Experience^ Copyright 2000 by J. Random Ostenveldt.^"; |
There is a line-break character ("^") in the Story
constant. This constant is used in the game banner, but it's also used
in the verbose/brief/superbrief messages. So it must be just
the title of the game -- no linebreaks (before or after),
subtitles, copyright messages, or so on.
(In extreme cases, this bug manifests like this:
|
>verbose The One-Room Game (or, How To Show Off Without Looking Around) [First-time players should type "about"!] is now in its "verbose" mode, which always gives long descriptions of locations (even if you've been there before). |
I leave it to your imagination what the Story constant
looks like here.)
Headline constant, not the end of the Story.
