PastTense.h

PastTense is a library contribution for games that are told in the past tense- either in part or their entirety. You can get it here.

It inelegantly provides game messages in past tense by replacing ‘NewVMessages’ and ‘NMessages’ so be aware of that if your game also replaces those. If using Roodylib, ‘PastTense’ may not be up to date in terms of messages replaced.

‘PastTense’ was used in Storm Over London by Juhana Leinonen.

Usage

Just include “pasttense.h” after “verblib.h”/”verbstub.h” and set the global variable pasttense to true when you want the game to be past tense.
