Oberon XYPlane Games

[j***@yahoo.com]

Hello all,

There was a webpage that contained games written for Oberon using
XYPlane.
The WAY COOL thing about these games is that they run on ANY version of
Oberon that ported XYPlane (which is most versions). Unfortunately the
page
is down, but thanks to the magic of the Internet "way back" machine it
was
archived. Here's the url:

I may at some point give these games a "proper" home, but at least you
can
get to them.

They include Minesweeper, Tron and PacMan along with library files for
writing your own XYPlane games.

Regards,

John M. Drake

hello,
Take a look at the source of Texts.Mod.
In procedure Load you can see how to skip the header fields. One of the
header fields is <tlen>, length of the text. Read tlen characters
after the header, skipping those < CHR(32) with the exception of tab
and linefeed.
A minor problem may be accentuated characters: Oberon Ascii # Latin-1
for characters > CHR(127)
hth,
Koen.

Well, the quickest think to do would be to download Oberon V4
for Linux and use it to decode the files. You might even find
out you like it. ;)

I don't believe 'oberon' has encoded files.
If you mean ETH-Sys3, then
ET.OpenAscii , ET.Store * , ET.StoreAscii * ..etc. will give you
DOS and unix format [line terminators] and strip away the header
fancy font & colour facilities.

Look at ET.Tool

Hex.Open <fileName> shows you the bare-metal.
