The C Adventure Toolkit ("CAT") is an interactive fiction system for MS-DOS and the Atari ST, written in 1985[1] by "Tony Stiles"[2]. It produces C from input files, which can then be compiled into runnable programs.
CAT has two "standard libraries": the "standard library" written in the CAT language, and the set of C sources that need to be compiled along with the generated C (in directory GENSRC.D).[3]
Contents |
[edit] Extensions
The input for a single CAT compilation consists of a number of files with extension .d (.D due to DOS naming conventions), as well as an extensionless index file named "GENLIST"[3] (containing nothing but the filenames of .D files).
[edit] Identification
.d files will probably contain the strings "@rem", "@room", "@obj", and "@msg".
[edit] Links
- The C Adventure Toolkit at the Interactive Fiction Wiki
- Version 1 in the Interactive Fiction archive
