Invisiclues from Infocom games don't work #69

Closed maudiagar closed 4 years ago

maudiagar commented 4 years ago

The screen gets frozen when using invisiclues from Infocom games.

For example with the Hitchhiker Guide of the Galaxy Gold Edition:

https://github.com/the-infocom-files/hitchhiker-invclues

Play this one and type "PISTAS" and then "PISTA", is a spanish version:

It works in Lectrote, so the underlying virtual machine has fixed whatever bug this is. I do need to update Parchment, will try to get to it soon.

Edit: Actually it works in Chrome for me too.

They work with Firefox on Ubuntu 16.04

Sorry, that was a temporary fix from my side using the same commands. Please type "hints" and then "hint" and you will see the original clues menu having problems. Thank you.

Ah, I've found it. The game doesn't hang, but it does too many blank lines. If you scroll down, you can then enter a new keypress to use the menu. This is a duplicate of #48.

Ah i see, so it is in my code?

curiousdannii commented 4 years ago

No, it's a problem in the interpreter, which has been fixed upstream already, but I need to update Parchment.

Thank you, in the meantime I solved it in my code changing the split to <SPLIT 3>
