The '''AGI Studio Template Game''' is a one-[[AGIWiki/Room|room]] game that serves as a starting point for game authors to build their own games. It features a default [[AGIWiki/View|view]] for [[AGIWiki/Ego|ego]], a blank [[AGIWiki/Picture|picture resource]] that is used by the first [[AGIWiki/Room|room]] in the game, and a default [[AGIWiki/Inventory object|inventory object]]. | The '''AGI Studio Template Game''' is a one-[[AGIWiki/Room|room]] game that serves as a starting point for game authors to build their own games.

The biggest trouble with this bug is that once you type "tp" and press Enter there is no way to cancel the teleport. Pressing Enter with a blank entry is the same as entering 0. Fortunately, there is a simple fix. In LOGIC.099, find the code that reads: | The biggest trouble with this bug is that once you type "tp" and press Enter there is no way to cancel the teleport.
