Downloads Below are the latest versions of my TADS 3 library extensions. ContAction These modules support continuous actions, actions that are requeued over and over until they are marked as completed by the satisfaction of some condition, or terminated deliberately. These modules support TimeSys, but have been abstracted to provide a framework for other potential continuous actions. You can download the latest release from here.

[version 1.0] Flags Flags provide a mechanism for supporting bit flags and bitwise operations beyond the limitations of the normal TADS 3 32-bit infrastructure. You can download the latest release from here. [version 2.0] Gosub This “library abuse” uses macros to radically alter the format of TADS3 object and function definitions. Additionally it implements an “inform”-style printRet() function and a <buff> tag handling system for buffering print across embedded expressions. You can download the latest release from here.

[version 1.0.2] MethodOverload The MethodOverload module lets an author easily define a router method that will call an appropriate method based on targetprop and argument count. For instance voidMethodOverload(construct) will route control to construct0(), construct1(arg), construct2(arg1, arg2), construct3(arg1, arg2, arg3), etc. You can download the latest release from here. [version 1.0] Proteus Proteus is a collection of library extensions meant to explore the metadata of the TADS 3 language, as well as take advantage of object-oriented design patterns and Html constructs available to the TADS 3 language. Proteus extends the basic features of the language and library through modification of base intrinsic classes, as well as introduction of useful abstract datatypes. In addition, Proteus defines a collection of diagnostic verbs and actions that can be used to explore aspects of an object’s definition, its class and property structure, its state, and its relationship to other objects. You can download the latest release from here. [version 1.1.5] View documentation online here. Relation Relation provides abstract datatypes for creating and manipulating relation sets.
