Could you add J* and G* commands where you jump to the state given by the stack?

ie: LA L3 &* LB &+ &-1 J*
will jump to the state 3*A+B-1 (at S0)

The olde 'Computed GOTO', heh? Sounds like
fun. You'll have it tomorrow.

10 Do code
20 Zyx likes
30 Zyx needs more stuff
40 Goto 10

: )

Now we just need self-modifying, self-replicating DSAs... muahaha!

Hasn't there been certain sci-fi films about this technology? *runs and hides after making sure arnold is still in calefornia governatatating*

DSAs will take over the defense networks and start a nuclear war? Then four brave adventurers shall save whatever is left..

self-modifying, self-replicating DSAs

I had contemplated using the letters A, C, G, and T
to encode DSAs. I decided it was a bit too obvious.

Mikko, it would be possible to make a post-nuclear DM scenario with CSbuild & ADGE (no magic, guns and monsters like in Hired Guns, etc). But it would be a LOT of work, especially with replacing the graphics (100 % of them, I guess) and changing object`s functions.

CSBwin-CSBuild.zip has the lastest version with the
computed GOTO. J*/G* ( messageType state . . . ),
almost like you specified but with the message type
parameter thrown in. It is untested so be careful
and quick to report bugs.

Also, I fixed the automatic increment of VITALITY.
It was caused by the feeding filter. The original
subroutine that incremented attributes divided the
increment by two and then added one under certain
circumstances. 0/2+1 = 1. It was not expecting to
be asked to increment by zero, I guess. I added a
quick exit if the increment is zero.

thank you. Could you add a way to retrieve the alternate graphic number of a monster, for example with &Monster@?

retrieve the alternate graphic number of a monster, for example with &Monster@

Done in new CSBwin-CSBuild.zip.

Also &Monster!

So you can change a monster's graphics by
casting a spell. Perhaps a worm
could become a butterfly.

Documentation also updated.
