In depth
A closer look at Fairlight Castle
Fairlight Castle is similar to Chateu Le Mont, which I also coded last year. But the game is much better (and has far more puzzles than before), so it should both challengeand delight the casual adventure gamer for hours at a time.Fairlight Castle is a fairly original adventuregame. The game was written using a special techniquewhich encapsulates the room descriptions into acore group of 120 total words (stored as numbers1 through 120).Each number corresponds to a word, and with a gamevocabulary of a mere 142 total words, FairlightCastle has remarkably robust descriptions (especiallywhen you consider I only used the most commonly usedphrases in a minimally sized adventure game).It took me over 12 hours just to code theroom descriptions (looking up a word from a tablelist and then typing it in for each word is verytime consuming indeed!); however, this saved atremendous amount of coding space (perhaps over10-15KB of program code). So what appears asa 26K adventure game migth actually haveballooned to well over 50K if I had used mytraditional programming methods as before.
