Hello,

"HLA Adventure" (as I call it) has been updated to version 2.18.
Here are the websites where you may obtain the game (w/ source):

http://members.tripod.com/~panks/hlaadv.html

and

http://www.geocities.com/dunric/westfront.html

Written in Randall Hyde's HLA (High Level Assembly) language, this
adventure game utilizes my previous "Westfront PC: The Trials of Guilder"
gaming engine for room descriptions, inventory items,
battle sequences, and items/monsters.

My ultimate intention was for others to eventually contribute to
this project. That being said, as of May 14, 2003 I am releasing
"HLA Adventure" (as I call it) into the Public Domain. The source
code is included for others who wish to add to the game as time
goes on.

As the game is expanded, quests will be added, additional rooms
designed and implemented, as well as further items, armor and equipment
as seen fit by the person(s) contributing to the project. The current
distribution (version 2.18) includes over 170 rooms, 18 items, 6 quests
and 20 monsters.

Future versions (planned) will include:

1. Additional Quests - either similar or dissimilar to those in "Westfront
PC" and some of my other games.
2. More monsters - probably around 25 or so added soon
3. More equipment - this depends on if the need is there
4. More rooms - certainly this will be addressed

Currently, "HLA Adventure" works on Windows 95,98,Me,NT/2000,XP and
Linux/Red Hat/SuSe/Fedora Core. Using the console libraries introduced by Mark
de Wever at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aoaprogramming/

Linux users will thus be able to compile "HLA Adventure" on their system
(after compiling the source files with Randy Hyde's HLA program). It
should be noted that a compiled version for Linux is *already* included
with this archive.

The hlaadv.hla source code compiles with the Gas assembler under Linux,
and FASM/MASM/NASM under Windows (check Randy Hyde's HLA website for more
details). Information on Randy Hyde's HLA can be found at:

http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/

Enjoy, and send bug fixes, contributions, and comments to:
dunric@yahoo.com

Mark de Wever, Frank Kotler and others have also contributed ideas, code,
code modifications, and additional core program content to "HLA Adventure".

Files included are:

HLAADV.EXE - This is the main program, for Windows. Click on it to play.
WEST06.ELF - This is the main program, for Linux. Run in "xterm" console
to play.
HLAADV.HLA - This is the HLA source code for HLA Adventure. Use version
1.49 or above.
HLAADV.TXT - This is the file you are now reading.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at: dunric@yahoo.com

Thanks! =)
