<hr />
<div>'''Соревнование Одноходовок''' ('''One-turn Competition''') is a Russian competition currently being organized. It will run from March 30 to April 12, 2011. Organizer is [[Oreolek]] (Alexander Yakovlev). The sponsor is [[yandexx]].<br />
<br />
The main requirement is that the game is winnable in one turn (or move). Examples of such games in English include ''[[Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle]]'', ''[[Aisle]]'', ''[[I'll]]'', and ''[[Rematch]]''. Additionally, the game should belong to the genre of [[interactive fiction]]. That is, it is primarily a story and has more text than pictures.<br />
<br />
The theme of the competition will be posted at oreolek.ru on March 30th at midnight Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). A duplicate posting will later appear on the Russian forums.<br />

<div><table style="width:100%;margin-bottom:1em;clear:both"><tr><td>{{adventure}} {{underground}}</td></tr></table><br />
<br />
The very first text adventure game.<br />
<br />
{{game stub|Everything. Also, it would be REALLY nice if we could be extra-careful with this page and cite our sources; there's bound to be disagreement and vagueness about what we think we know about this game.}}<br />
<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
You might be anyone. You are standing in the forest, outside a small brick building which is a well-house for a spring. Inside the building, you can easily find some keys, tasty food, a shiny brass lamp, and an empty bottle. If you explore the surrounding area, you will discover a locked steel grate set in a depression. You have no obvious goals, but you might want to open the grate and explore underground.<br />
<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
* Being the first IF game.<br />

<br />
==Trivia and Comments==<br />
* In March 2006: [http://grandtextauto.gatech.edu/2006/03/20/adventure-lauded-by-commercial-developers/ ''Adventure'' Lauded by Commerical Developers]. [[William Crowther]] and [[Donald Woods]] received a First Penguin Award at the 6th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards.<br />

<br />
==Versions==<br />
''(This list is very incomplete. It needs to be heavily researched and double-checked. Ideally, we want authors/porters, year of release, platform info, language if not English, and what version was derived from what. Also, a summary or overview of differences between all the versions would be a nice thing to have handy. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 15:52, 29 May 2006 (EST))''<br />
<br />
According to [[Baf's Guide]], the game is also known by all these titles: Abenteuer, ADVENT, Adventure in Humongous Cave, Aventura, Aventure, Avontuur, Colossal Adventure (Jewels of Darkness), Colossal Cave, nuntalyli'u, and Original Adventure.<br />
<br />
A very thorough listing of known versions is available on various "Adventure Family Tree" websites, such as [http://advent.jenandcal.familyds.org Nathanael Culver's] (the most complete) and [https://www.prismnet.com/~ged/www/advent.html Russel Dalenberg's]. A graphical Family Tree with emphasis given to historically significant versions is available on [https://github.com/Quuxplusone/Advent/blob/master/adventure-family-tree/adventure-family-tree.pdf Arthur O'Dwyer's site]. In a nomenclature originating with Russel Dalenberg, the versions and variants of ''Adventure'' are often referred to by short abbreviations encoding their latest author's name and their maximum score; so for example the original ''Adventure'' would be WOOD0350, whereas [http://www.literateprogramming.com/adventure.pdf Donald Knuth's 1990s-era port] would be KNUT0350.<br />
<br />
===Original version===<br />
* ''Adventure'' ([[William Crowther]]; YEAR?; FORTRAN).<br />
** {{ifarchive|games/source/|adv_crowther.zip}} - Long believed lost, this was found from a backup of Don Wood's student account thanks to the efforts of [[Dennis Jerz]]. Included are three versions of the Fortran-IV source code, along with two versions of the data file. Also included are Fortran-77 versions of the source code, converted to Fortran-77 by [[Matthew Russotto]].<br />
<br />
The original version was written by Crowther for his two daughters.<br />
<br />
====What year?====<br />
* Baf's Guide lists the release year as 1976.<br />
* According to ''[[Compute!'s Guide to Adventure Games]]'' by [[Gary McGath]], William Crowther wrote the preliminary version of ''Adventure'' in 1975, in FORTRAN, on a DEC PDP-10 computer, and made it available nationwide via ARPAnet.<br />
* [[IFRO]] lists the release year as 1972, and the platform as FORTRAN.<br />
* According to [http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/a_history.html A history of 'Adventure'] by [[Rick Adams]], in 1972, William and his wife Pat were co-workers for Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Boston. They were also cavers. When the Crowthers' marriage ended, William felt estranged from his daughters, and decided to write for them a computer simulation of his caving experiences combined with elements borrowed from [[Dungeons and Dragons]], a [[role-playing game]] that he also had been playing.<br />
* Wikipedia doesn't attempt to date the original, noting only that Crowther was a caver in 1972, and that the Don Woods version was written in 1976.<br />
* [http://jerz.setonhill.edu/if/canon/Adventure.htm Colossal Cave Adventure (c. 1975)] by [[Dennis G. Jerz]], notes that sources set the date anywhere from 1968 to 1977. Also: "In response to an e-mail query, Crowther put it at 1975, 'give or take a year'." In [http://brain.lis.uiuc.edu:2323/opencms/export/sites/default/dhq/vol/001/2/000009.html Somewhere Nearby is Colossal Cave], Jerz argues "...Crowther wrote the game during the 1975-76 academic year and probably abandoned it in early 1976", with the Woods version released in early 1977.<br />
<br />
===Crowther and Woods version===<br />
* ''Adventure'' ([[William Crowther]] and [[Donald Woods]]; c.1976).<br />
** This version is usually considered the canonical, or standard version of the game.<br />
<br />
===Gillogly version (350 points)===<br />
* ''Adventure'' (porter: [[Jim Gillogly]]; c.1976; C for UNIX).<br />
** This version is the canonical "modern Unix" version of the game; it is distributed under the name <tt>adventure(6)</tt> as part of the <tt>bsdgames</tt> package on most systems.<br />
<br />
===Software Toolworks version (375 points)===<br />
* ''The Original Adventure'' ([[Jim Gillogly]] and [[Walt Bilofsky]]; publisher: [[Software Toolworks]]; 1981; C).<br />
** This version added three treasures and slightly extended the endgame sequence. It also famously offered a mail-order "Certificate of Wizardness" to any player who completed the game.<br />
<br />

The very first text adventure game.<br />
<br />
{{game stub|Everything. Also, it would be REALLY nice if we could be extra-careful with this page and cite our sources; there's bound to be disagreement and vagueness about what we think we know about this game.}}<br />
<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
You might be anyone. You are standing in the forest, outside a small brick building which is a well-house for a spring. Inside the building, you can easily find some keys, tasty food, a shiny brass lamp, and an empty bottle. If you explore the surrounding area, you will discover a locked steel grate set in a depression. You have no obvious goals, but you might want to open the grate and explore underground.<br />
<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
* Being the first IF game.<br />
{{sectstub}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia and Comments==<br />
* In March 2006: [http://grandtextauto.gatech.edu/2006/03/20/adventure-lauded-by-commercial-developers/ ''Adventure'' Lauded by Commerical Developers]. [[William Crowther]] and [[Donald Woods]] received a First Penguin Award at the 6th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards.<br />
{{sectstub}}<br />
<br />
==Versions==<br />
''(This list is very incomplete. It needs to be heavily researched and double-checked. Ideally, we want authors/porters, year of release, platform info, language if not English, and what version was derived from what. Also, a summary or overview of differences between all the versions would be a nice thing to have handy. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 15:52, 29 May 2006 (EST))''<br />
<br />
According to [[Baf's Guide]], the game is also known by all these titles: Abenteuer, ADVENT, Adventure in Humongous Cave, Aventura, Aventure, Avontuur, Colossal Adventure (Jewels of Darkness), Colossal Cave, nuntalyli'u, and Original Adventure.<br />
<br />
A very thorough listing of known versions is available on various "Adventure Family Tree" websites, such as [http://advent.jenandcal.familyds.org Nathanael Culver's] (the most complete) and [https://www.prismnet.com/~ged/www/advent.html Russel Dalenberg's]. A graphical Family Tree with emphasis given to historically significant versions is available on [https://github.com/Quuxplusone/Advent/blob/master/adventure-family-tree/adventure-family-tree.pdf Arthur O'Dwyer's site]. In a nomenclature originating with Russel Dalenberg, the versions and variants of ''Adventure'' are often referred to by short abbreviations encoding their latest author's name and their maximum score; so for example the original ''Adventure'' would be WOOD0350, whereas [http://www.literateprogramming.com/adventure.pdf Donald Knuth's 1990s-era port] would be KNUT0350.<br />
<br />
===Original version===<br />
* ''Adventure'' ([[William Crowther]]; YEAR?; FORTRAN).<br />
** {{ifarchive|games/source/|adv_crowther.zip}} - Long believed lost, this was found from a backup of Don Wood's student account thanks to the efforts of [[Dennis Jerz]]. Included are three versions of the Fortran-IV source code, along with two versions of the data file. Also included are Fortran-77 versions of the source code, converted to Fortran-77 by [[Matthew Russotto]].<br />
<br />
The original version was written by Crowther for his two daughters.<br />
<br />
====What year?====<br />
* Baf's Guide lists the release year as 1976.<br />
* According to ''[[Compute!'s Guide to Adventure Games]]'' by [[Gary McGath]], William Crowther wrote the preliminary version of ''Adventure'' in 1975, in FORTRAN, on a DEC PDP-10 computer, and made it available nationwide via ARPAnet.<br />
* [[IFRO]] lists the release year as 1972, and the platform as FORTRAN.<br />
* According to [http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/a_history.html A history of 'Adventure'] by [[Rick Adams]], in 1972, William and his wife Pat were co-workers for Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Boston. They were also cavers. When the Crowthers' marriage ended, William felt estranged from his daughters, and decided to write for them a computer simulation of his caving experiences combined with elements borrowed from [[Dungeons and Dragons]], a [[role-playing game]] that he also had been playing.<br />
* Wikipedia doesn't attempt to date the original, noting only that Crowther was a caver in 1972, and that the Don Woods version was written in 1976.<br />
* [http://jerz.setonhill.edu/if/canon/Adventure.htm Colossal Cave Adventure (c. 1975)] by [[Dennis G. Jerz]], notes that sources set the date anywhere from 1968 to 1977. Also: "In response to an e-mail query, Crowther put it at 1975, 'give or take a year'." In [http://brain.lis.uiuc.edu:2323/opencms/export/sites/default/dhq/vol/001/2/000009.html Somewhere Nearby is Colossal Cave], Jerz argues "...Crowther wrote the game during the 1975-76 academic year and probably abandoned it in early 1976", with the Woods version released in early 1977.<br />
<br />
===Crowther and Woods version===<br />
* ''Adventure'' ([[William Crowther]] and [[Donald Woods]]; c.1976).<br />
** This version is usually considered the canonical, or standard version of the game.<br />
<br />
===Gillogly version (350 points)===<br />
* ''Adventure'' (porter: [[Jim Gillogly]]; c.1976; C for UNIX).<br />
** This version is the canonical "modern Unix" version of the game; it is distributed under the name <tt>adventure(6)</tt> as part of the <tt>bsdgames</tt> package on most systems.<br />
<br />
===Software Toolworks version (375 points)===<br />
* ''The Original Adventure'' ([[Jim Gillogly]] and [[Walt Bilofsky]]; publisher: [[Software Toolworks]]; 1981; C).<br />
** This version added three treasures and slightly extended the endgame sequence. It also famously offered a mail-order "Certificate of Wizardness" to any player who completed the game.<br />
<br />
===Other C ports===<br />

<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
(The game asks if you would like color and instructions. Someone suggests: "Let's tell a story together.")<br />
<br />
You are some dude regaining consciousness after a day on the slopes and too much alcohol. It's after midnight. You're in your car and carrying nothing. Your buddy Rob is driving, speeding down Montgomery Boulevard. Perhaps you want Rob to stop or slow down or find out more about those chicks you two hooked up with. But before you can do anything, you see a red light.<br />
<br />
Now you're Wendy Mackaye, first girl on the red planet. You are at the landing site in your spacesuit. An orbiter blew up, scattering pieces of itself and stuff for a new colony all over the landscape. Your mission is to find any piece of that equipment that's still functioning.<br />
<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
* There are multiple PCs. The story is told out of order through multiple viewpoints.<br />
* The game is highly [[linear]]; it also has many [[puzzleless]] sections and relatively easy [[puzzle | puzzles]] in others, encouraging rapid advancement of the [[plot]]. It has been the focus of much discussion on linearity and difficulty within IF.<br />
* Some of the game is a story-within-a-story.<br />
* Each section is [[Colour puzzle | color-coded]]. The choice of colors is not arbitrary; each color fits its section in some way.<br />
* The game uses [[Menu-based_conversation | conversation menus]] when talking to the NPCs.<br />
<br />
==Versions==<br />
===Competition Release (color)===<br />
* ''Photopia'' ([[Adam Cadre]] as "Opal O'Donnell"; 1998; [[Z-code]]). [[IF Comp 1998]]: 1st place.<br />
** {{babel wanted}}<br />
** Note 1: For a while, Adam Cadre claimed that "Opal O'Donnell" had assisted him by entering his game into the comp under her name and e-mail address. Supposedly, Adam had previously talked to Opal about borrowing a game element from her [[ChickenComp]] game (which she agreed to), and by letting him enter the competition under her name as a pseudonym, he was able to avoid comparisons with his earlier game ''[[I-0]]''. But, more recently, Adam revealed that there never was an Opal O'Donnell: it was just a pseudonym. See the [http://adamcadre.ac/content/phaq.txt Photopia Phaq] for full details.<br />
** Note 2: Winner of [[Best Writing]] and [[Best Story]], [[XYZZY Awards 1998]]. Also, finalist for [[Best Individual NPC]], [[Best Individual Puzzle]], [[Best NPCs]], [[Best Game]], and [[Best Use of Medium]].<br />

<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
You have travelled to an unidentified country; the opening paragraph describes its beautiful scenery. Currently, however, you're in a near-featureless dead-end alley, facing a plain metal door. The [[PC]] is [[Everyman|ambiguous]], and carrying nothing of importance.<br />
<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
* Heavy and innovative use of [[flashback]], [[frame story]] and [[unreliable narrator]].<br />
* Intentionally employs [[knowledge conflict]] for dramatic effect.<br />
<br />
==Trivia and Comments==<br />
* This game inspired the [[title]]s and structures of the following games:<br />
** ''[[Chicken and Egg]]'' ([[Adam Thornton]]; 1998; Z-code).<br />
** ''[[Spyder and Jeb]]'' ([[Neil deMause]]; 1998; TADS 2).<br />
** ''[[Tanker and Webb]]'' ([[Andrew Frederiksen]]; 1999; Z-code).<br />
<br />
==Versions==<br />
===Release 4===<br />
* ''Spider And Web'' ([[Andrew Plotkin]]; 1998; [[Z-code]] 5).<br />
** Release 4 / Serial number 980226 / Inform v6.14<br />
** {{babel wanted}}<br />
** [[XYZZY Awards 1998]]: Winner of Best Game, Best Puzzles, Best Individual NPC (the interrogator), Best Individual Puzzle (getting out of the chair), Best Use of Medium. Finalist for Best Individual PC (the agent), Best Setting, Best Story, Best Writing. <br />

<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
The game opens with "Day One" and quotes Hebrews 13:2. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."<br />
You are a monk, in the monastery of Saint Cuthbert's; where and exactly when is unspecified. Five days ago you shut the monastery gates to keep out the plague, but now most of the monks have died anyway. The bell rings six for Vespers; you are in your small, dark bedroom. You do not have the plague yet, and are carrying a candle and tinderbox, and wearing a frock.<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
* [[Multiple endings]] determined by behaviour throughout the play session.<br />
<br />
==Versions==<br />
===Competition Release===<br />
* ''Vespers'' ([[Jason Devlin]]; 01-Oct-2005; [[Z-code]] 8).<br />
** Beta-testing by [[Andy Ko]], [[Dirk Straube]], [[Katzy]], [[Dan Shiovitz]], [[JD Casteliero]], [[Brian Rapp]], [[Stephan Schonberg]], [[Ramona White]], [[Robert Devlin]], and [[Dara Barker]].<br />

==How It Begins==<br />
You are a female servant wearing a coarse brown dress, a ring, and slippers. You are carrying your workbox which contains a ball of yarn and a needle.

<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
*A [[simulationist]] game.<br />
*Almost all puzzles have [[multiple solutions]].<br />
*Features the behavior of several matters, as well as assorted sizes and shapes of item, together with the option of damaging things.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>'''[[URQ]]''', or '''Universal RipSoft Quest''', is a [[Russian]] [[authoring system]] for creating Russian [[CYOA]] games. According to a page on the [[RTADS]] site, URQ is the oldest and the most popular development system in Russian IF. The original author of URQ is [[Timofey Basanov]] a.k.a. RipOs. Also several people contributed to URQ's development, primarily [[Victor Koryanov]] and [[Anton Zhuchkov]].<br />
<br />
==Basic possibilities==<br />
The main purpose of URQ is to create small games controlled by menu choices and built-in inventory support. However, the enthusiasts of the platform have repeatedly implemented with its help branching menu, navigation using a graphic map, "roguelike" games, or even a simple parser.<br />
<br />
Quest game files are plain text files in win (Windows-1251) or dos (cp866) encoding and have an extension '''.qst''' (unencrypted quest), '''.qs1,.qs2,.qs3''' (encrypted quests). There is a file format for [[FireURQ]] '''.qsz''' (archive which can be Packed with all the resources of the quest).<br />
<br />
To date, written more than 400 games. Quests can be written in any text editor, although there are special editors: old SMSQuest and actual [[URQEdit]]. They are written in a simple BASIC-like programming language (Universal Ripsoft Quest Language — URQL), which is gradually improved and developed.<br />
<br />
The basic language tools allow you to display text and buttons, have numeric and string variables, perform branching and loops depending on certain conditions, refer subroutines. URQL code can be partially self-modifying.<br />
<br />
The system is well documented. Most of the games are, also, available as source code.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, most of the documentation is only available in Russian.<br />
<br />
*[http://narmiel.github.io/UrqW/docs/urql.html The URQL description for the UrqW]<br />
*[http://ifwiki.ru/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F:%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F_FireURQ FireURQ Documentation]<br />
*[http://urq.borda.ru/?1-0-0-00000466-000-0-0-1481638604 All sorts of useful mechanics]<br />
*[http://urq.plut.info/texts Library with useful texts]<br />
<br />
==Disadvantages==<br />
The main URQL disadvantages:<br />
<br />
* non-strict and not too thoughtful syntax of the language created by different authors at the requests of different users. As a result, there are several not completely compatible interpreters and serious challenges for games designers - how to achieve smooth execution of the game on every interpreter.<br />
* the absence of built-in mechanisms of object-oriented programming, making it difficult to write large projects. However, this shortcoming will be corrected by means of modernisation.<br />
<br />
==Interpreters==<br />
At the moment there are four basic interpreter that should be used for writing games:<br />
<br />
*[https://ifwiki.ru/files/Fireurq.zip FireURQ] (last version 17.12.2017 FireURQ 2.2.3) (Written on Delphi. [https://github.com/fireton/fireurq Source code]. Author - Fireton([[Anton Zhuchkov]] Implementation of URQL, close to the classic URQ_DOS. Advanced syntax, which allows, for example, to pass parameters to a location-subroutine (syntax differences are described in detail in the help file).The ability to insert an image (or part of it) into text. Decorators: fragments of text or images (including animated GIFs) that can be placed anywhere on the screen and manipulate them in different ways. Custom fonts, including TrueType (used by FreeType for rendering) Support for the archive format of .QSZ quests, with the use of which resources can be placed in the quest file. Enhanced music and sound support. Supported formats WAV, AIFF, MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, as well as tracker music formats: XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX. In addition, MIDI music is also played (MID files). Also supported is the MO3 format (tracker music with OGG-packed samples). *Implemented fadein and fadeout for music. Convenient mode of debugging, in which it is easy to detect an error and modify the quest without restarting the interpreter.)<br />
<br />
*[https://github.com/narmiel/UrqW UrqW] (last version 20.12.2016) (UrqW - сrossplatform (including for mobile devices) interpreter for urq quests in JavaScript with open [https://github.com/narmiel/UrqW Source code], developed by [[Alexander Sevryugin]](Akela). It supports almost all the capabilities of the URQ_DOS and RipURQ interpreters, new features, such as xbtn, links in the text and more (see the documentation) are added. You can use html, javascript and css to design and expand the engine's capabilities.)<br />
<br />
*[https://github.com/PolyQuest/PolyQuest.github.io PolyQuest] (modified version UrqW. Author - [[Arseniy Shuvalov]]. The platform is oriented mainly on the creation of interactive versions of gamebooks. [https://github.com/PolyQuest/PolyQuest.github.io Source code]) (Compared to UrqW, PolyQuest provides the following additional features: Support the web markup using special tags. Support execution of JavaScript code using special tags. The ability to change the HTML content of the current (working) page using special tags for the HTML, CSS and JavaScript components. The possibility of introducing variables URQL to a running JavaScript snippets. Ability to control the sequence of music playback. The ability to perform additional actions while saving and loading the game. A number of JavaScript helper functions that interact with URQL-part of the game.)<br />

<br />
The engine is capable of implicit choice, rule-based module game design, quality-based narratives. You have full control over the UI.<br />
<br />
The Salet code is distributed under the MIT license. This permits you to modify and use them, even for commercial use.<br />
<br />
Salet is written on the basis of the [[Undum]], so it can also be used for both [[CYOA]] and [[parser]] interfaces. <br />
Created in 2016. Written in CoffeeScript. <br />
