KMP@MC 10:28pm Tuesday, 11 March 1980 (Version 122)

|
|
|
Someone accidentally clobbered the database by trying to load up the game
|
|
in a Lisp and run it from there. A very special environment must exist in
|
|
order for this game to function correctly -- do NOT attempt to manually
|
|
load this thing up in a lisp for whatever reason. As a result, some of the
|
|
most recently taught animals will have been lost. I will retrieve the most
|
|
recent version of the database from backup tape. Sorry about that.
|
|
(In the meantime, an itty bitty game will be left around for people to
|
|
play with ... it will go away when the old version is retrieved from tape.)
|
|
|
|
Some attempted fixes to the parser -- turns out they didn't work as expected
|
|
due to the nature of the pattern matcher.

|
|
|
|
This version knows how to introspect a bit. Things like "How many animals
|
|
do you know?" and "What animals do you know?" will work.

Used to be Animal couldn't grok names the sex of which was ambiguous.
|
|
This 'bug' has been fixed at LAUREN's request...

|
|
|
In case people haven't noticed, the game should now call you by the
|
|
nickname you specified in :INQUIR ... I may do more fooling with names
|
|
later on. If it calls you by an improper subset of your name, please
|
|
let me know.

Bug fixes include:
|
|
|
|
(1) Changes better handling of foul languages. It is handled
|
|
at a very low level now and harder to get away with.
|
|
|
|
(2) The game should now handle hyphenated-words correctly (including hyphens
|
|
in the middle of words on continuation lines).
|
|
|
|
(3) Typing quoted text for noises (eg, It goes ``meow''.) will now work better
|
|
than it used to. Note that the "." has to go after the ''-marks since it
|
|
terminates the input string. (Naturally, saying: It goes "meow".
|
|
will also work.)
|
|
|
|
(4) Some typos in the database have been corrected.

Animal now has a NEWS feature for keeping up on improvements
|
|
to the game.
