SCARE is secondary clone of jAsea, Mark J. Tilford's Java GPL clone of the Adrift Runner. It aims to provide an ANSI/ISO C core Adrift interpreter, capable of running Adrift version 4.00, version 3.90, and version 3.80 games, and portable enough to run on Linux, Windows, DOS, Macintosh, Amiga, or any platform that offers an ANSI/ISO C compiler. For details on building SCARE, please see the file BUILDING. For details on porting SCARE to various input/output schemes, please see PORTING. For details on running Adrift games in SCARE, please see RUNNING. For details on the game debugger in SCARE, please see DEBUGGER. For details on SCARE's test suite, please see TESTING. For details on compatibility with the Adrift Runner, please see FEATURES. SCARE is based on jAsea. For more information on jAsea, please visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasea SCARE also contains copious code from Zlib, to the point where it actually carries around a full copy of the Zlib source within it. Zlib is Copyright (C) 1995-2005 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler Jean-loup Gailly Mark Adler jloup@gzip.org madler@alumni.caltech.edu The SCARE source code is released under the GPL. The ubiquitous COPYING file contains everything you need to know on that. SCARE's home on the Web is in the IF Archive, under programming/adrift. Thanks to Jan-Erik Karlsson for work on SCARE for Amiga; Uli Kusterer for work on the Macintosh SCARE build; Thomas Payerle for slogging through the Adrift version 3.90 TAF file format; Rik Snel for his work to uncovering the TAF file obfuscation used by Adrift versions 3.90 and 3.80; David Kinder for the Windows specific Glk startup code; Emily Short for uncovering bugs that only showed up well into a couple of games; Robert Goodwin, Richard Otter, Eric Mayer, Todd Watson, Nick Rogers, and Sam Trenholme for miscellaneous bug reports; and David Whyld for bug reports and detailed game walkthroughs for reference and testing. And, of course, to Mark J. Tilford who started this whole thing in the first place with jAsea, providing almost all of the Adrift reverse engineering that SCARE uses. Without jAsea, there would be no SCARE. Simon Baldwin, simon_baldwin@yahoo.com
