Missing ends of words?

[ronentk]

Hi, When trying to print the dictionary in Zork for example, only the first 6 letters are returned.

Any ideas why this may be happening? Thanks!

Sample code (used this zork z5 file, as there was no link on this site).

from jericho import *
env = FrotzEnv("zork1.z5", seed=12)
initial_state = env.reset()
print(env.get_dictionary())

yields

It might have something to do with the fact that the Z-Machine only looks for the first N characters. From the top of my head, I don't remember the exact N, maybe it is 6!

That's correct, zork only considers first 6 characters of any word.

From the z-spec section 13.3 / 13.4: Z file versions 1-3 support 6 character words, 4 and above support 9 character.
