version.h

Version.hug is just a library-contribution version of the routines found on the Version page, which in turn is an adaption of the “version.hug” file from the Future Boy! selected source. Download it (the library contribution, that is) here.

(This version-providing code is included in Roodylib by default so is therefore unnecessary for Roodylib games.)

The set-up

To use version.hug:

1. Add the following to your verb grammar: verb “version” * DoVersion

2. After “hugolib.h” is included, define the following constants: constant GAME_TITLE “Annoyotron X: Annoyotron Takes Manhatten” constant TITLECOLOR LIGHT_RED ! has to be a number value if defined before “hugolib.h” is included constant AUTHOR “Some Guy” constant RELEASE “1.0” ! Game release number constant EMAIL “email@address.com” constant WEBSITE “www.somewebsite.com”

   (The only one really necessary is GAME_TITLE.)

3. After that, #include “version.h”.
4. Season to taste, and serve!

The code

!\-----------------------------------------------------------------
Version.hug release 1.5, based on version.hug from the Future Boy!
source code by Kent Tessman, adapted by Jon Blask

In your game source, you'll want to define the following constants:

constant GAME_TITLE "Annoyotron X: Annoyotron Takes Manhatten"
constant TITLECOLOR LIGHT_RED ! has to be a number value if defined before "hugolib.h" is included
constant AUTHOR "Some Guy"
constant RELEASE "1.0"	! Game release number
constant EMAIL "email@address.com"
constant WEBSITE "www.somewebsite.com"

Of course, if you want the player to be able to pull up version
info, you'll have to define a "version" verb like this:

xverb "version"
*                          DoVersion
