The web version of AGILE (https://agi.sierra.games)

[Collector]

I have received a lot of reactions on Facebook. Much more so than for what I posted about Agile-gdx.

hey, @vafada, good to see you on here again.

Are you referring to the original AGI interpreter source code on the SQ2 disk? Or the web version of AGILE? I assume the former. I can't take credit for the discovery on the SQ2 disk. That was NewRisingSun, as far as I know. There is a thread on here back in October 2016 where he mentions it. Since then, I've extracted the same code from my own copy of Space Quest II. Since then, I have also discovered a further lot of original AGI interpreter source files on a KQ3 disk. The github repo contains both. There was only a small amount of overlap.

Have you given the web version of AGILE a try yet?

Both!!! I read the blog post that was linked on HN about the source code hidden on the disk due to quick format (FAT not really deleting data on the disk) and at the same time stumbled upon the web version of AGILE.... and also saw the blog post regarding the 40th anniversary of KQ1!!! I was surprised to see my name!!!! (shock-face)

I've been monitoring the agile-gdx on GitHub for a while now, was able to build it locally..... It's nice to see it live in production

I tried playing the two player game but couldn't figure out the control for the second player and gave up

It was your version of JAGI that I started out with. I could see that you'd extended it quite a bit.

Hmmm, its a bit fiddly actually. You have to use the control key with A, D, Q, W, E, Z, X, C. The problem is that the web browser uses some of those for certain things and they can't be overridden. So, for example, Ctrl-W seems to close the tab!

Did you try importing one of the original Sierra games?

The stars for the agi repo just went above 40, and agile-gdx is at 22 at the moment.

The activity appears to be levelling out now, as far as the upvote rate is concerned:

The agi repo is at 64 stars now, and the agile-gdx repo at 27 stars. I doubt they'll increase much more. It was definitely a worthwhile exercise. I think the agile-gdx stars were only around 5 prior to publishing that article.
