Short: FOOM - a text shoot-em-up (TADS) Author: Piers Johnson (dI Software) Uploader: Bill Hoggett (mas.supplies@easynet.co.uk) Version: 1.01d Type: game/text Requires: TADS Run-Time v2.2+ FooM - the shoot-'em up text adventure. by dI software :) This was designed and tested on an 80x25 screen. If your screen or shell (especially if xterm, or running on an SGI Ind* machine, UNIX users) is a different size, it will not look very good. The title screen just fits onto an 80 column screen, and 25 lines was just right for the breaks of the introductory text. If you screen is shorter or thinner that this, the page and line breaks will make a complete mess of the screen. Other than the titles, nothing should be affected by screen size. (In fact, having *more* than 80 columns should present no problems at all). ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1922 944 50.8% 17-Jan-97 21:26:14 foom.info 865 515 40.4% 17-Jan-97 21:26:36 FooM.readme 106100 49729 53.1% 21-Jul-96 20:01:36 +foom.gam 108 54 50.0% 21-Jul-96 20:01:36 +foom.t 639 381 40.3% 21-Jul-96 20:01:36 +foom.txt 104575 29013 72.2% 21-Jul-96 20:01:36 +foomadv.t 23995 6653 72.2% 21-Jul-96 20:01:36 +foomclss.t 169116 70854 58.1% 21-Jul-96 20:01:38 +foomdbug.gam 10075 3228 67.9% 21-Jul-96 20:01:38 +foomfunc.t 31126 7786 74.9% 21-Jul-96 20:01:38 +foomloc.t 15851 5762 63.6% 21-Jul-96 20:01:38 +foomstd.t -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 464372 174919 62.3% 18-Jan-97 04:05:38 11 files
