onscripter for Debian
----------

= 1-byte Compatibility =

Note that the onscripter-1byte is good to play games in English mode. But it
is not guaranteed to play all the games from http://insani.org/

If you need to play those games without any problems, please take a look at 
http://dev.haeleth.net/onscripter.shtml

However, I tried several games and it seems that onscripter-1byte works well.

= Testing The Game Engine =

To test the game engine, we can either download some game data from Internet
(most of them are non-free), or we create a game from scratch.

Here's the way to make a hello world game:
1. Make an empty directory, let's call it /tmp/foo
 mkdir /tmp/foo
2. Create /tmp/foo/0.txt with the following content:
;mode800
*define
game
*start
`Hello World!!\
`This is a test.\
end
-- cut here
3. Make a symbolic link (or a copy) of a TTF font /tmp/foo/default.ttf
 ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf default.ttf
4. run onscripter-1byte
 onscripter-1byte -r /tmp/foo
5. You'll see the game window open and display the text we just created in 
0.txt.
