WHAT IS IT?
===========
Grackle is a dumper and player for adventures written using the Graphic
Adventure Creator.
At the moment it supports games from the following systems:
* Spectrum (in .sna format)
* CPC (as extracted files with the AMSDOS header from a disk image or as a .sna)
* BBC Micro (as the raw datafile extracted from the disc image, usually called
$.DATA)
bbc-grackle-draw.c is included in this version, this is basic messing code to
redraw the graphics on the BBC Micro from the graphics data file (usually
$.GDATA).
The BBC Micro used a different format than other platforms.
The image drawing code is very basic and there will be errors in the output.
WHY IS IT?
==========
This can be useful if you are going to remaster an old adventure or
gain new knowledge about internals of games.
HOW TO USE IT?
==============
Command line syntax:
grackle [-p|-l] [-s room] file
-p = play game (default)
-l = list game
-s = provide a start room
BBC Micro games aren't quite working yet; the high profile conditions don't seem
to quite work.
(Sinclair ZX Spectrum)
======================
1. Choose a game from List of games created using The Graphic Adventure Creator
and download it.
(for example Cricket Crazy by The Dreaming Djinn)
Public Domain:
https://archive.org/details/Cricket-Crazy_1988_The_Dreaming_Djinn
2. Run your Speccy emulator and load it.
3. Save memory dump as game.sna
4. Use grackle -p game.sna for Play game
5. Use grackle -l game.sna > game.txt for get the source code of the game as
text-file
(Amstrad CPC)
