A skiff is not so much a raft as a small flat-bottomed boat.

I agree. Your definition is more accurate.

Ultima V Update:

- Tilemap engine rework nearly complete. I am just checking to make sure everything still works. It was a big change!
- 'Search' is working now. Search for hidden items. Still need to add support for hidden doors and treasure chest traps.
- 'Get' is working. Get items such as torches and items. Still need to add support for treasure chest.

Well... it's getting pretty big... currently 49Kb for the uncompressed game engine and 165Kb for data files.

The largest file allowed for 68K calc is ~64Kb. Above 64Kb I will need to start using libraries (which I don't want to use). But, I have about 10Kb of data that I can remove from the game engine. So, essentially, I have about 24Kb of game engine space left to complete combat, merchants, and other misc things. It will be close, but I know it can be done!

I didnt knew 68k limited file size O_O

seems small for a 68k game so far, at least you should be able to package everything together

Well... The actual size of the data files prior to compression is over 500Kb. O_O

Yeah... I did not know about that limit until International Karate 68K v1.5.

Here is a screenshot of 'look', 'get', and 'search' commands: B)

Note: the sign reads "Grave Robbers Will Be Prosecuted" You better get acquainted with the Runic alphabet.

Well... The Runic alphabet will definitely be included in the readme file.

Ultima V was the first Ultima game that actually had the Runic alphabet translations included in the instruction manual. I remember playing Ultima III and IV and slowly decoding all the words as I figured out what the letters translated to. That was sooo much fun
