The Tutorial by Stephen Griffiths
Standard library
The proposed standard library is currently at version 0.3.1. Latest revision by Stephen Griffiths.
Compilers and Complete packages
Complete packages (including both compiler and interpreter) for different platforms. Current version is 2.8! Until all platforms have been ported you will find 2.7 versions here also.
Version 2.8:
Older 2.7:
Runtime only
These can be used to run games produced with the Alan system.
V2.8
To run games produced with older versions you will need one of these:
V2.7
V2.7 games should work with 2.8 interpreters, if not contact me!
V2.6
Source code
Here you can download the sources for the compiler, the interpreter and a large heap of regression test cases.
  • Compiler source, for 2.8(7)
  • Interpreter source, for 2.8(7)
  • 172 test cases for the compiler and interpreter. If you build your own executables running these test can make you more comfortable with the quality of what you have accomplished. Suited for version 2.8.
Utilities
  • ALex, for Win/DOS, a text extraction utility by Stephen Griffiths. Can be used to extract all text from an Alan game source, e.g. to spell check.
  • XWear, an extended library for implementation of wearing, by Alan Bampbton.
