I have now released the source code to Tales of the Traveling Swordsman. It's on the official TTS page here:

http://www.sidneymerk.com/tts.shtml

The direct download is here:

http://www.sidneymerk.com/zips/tts_src.zip

This also includes design notes, and a "journal" I kept before, during, and shortly after the game's release into IFComp 2006.

I have uploaded tts_src.zip to the IF Archive as well, and it'll eventually move into the /games/source/hugo area.

Thanks for doing this. When everyone teaches themselves the language (as we all did with Hugo, naturally) it's funny the kinds of things that you don't catch -- like the extra_scenery tag in my case. Hopefully I can grab some time this weekend to at least skim. If I see functions or variables that are completely foreign to me it will definitely be time to gather research, ha ha.

No problem. I got some of it by looking at other source code too, such as the date-checking from Future Boy!.

I wonder if there will be any Hugo games in this year's IFComp? At present, I'm not planning to enter. I haven't started working on anything.
