* References to "ego" mean "the main character" or the object you control. | |||
* Any brackets, asterisks or quotation marks should NOT be typed in. They're only used to clarify. | |||
* Anything between brackets means it's either a key or a combination of keys. So [CTRL + D] means you push the CONTROL-key and the D-key '''at the same time'''. | |||
* Between quotation marks means it should be typed in. | |||
* Words between asterisks should be replaced with a proper word/object/thing. So "PITCH *object name*" means you should type the object you want to get, e.g. "PITCH WIG". | |||
And while you might know, Sierra games use an "interpreter". This basically is a program/system which translates the program statements (in byte-code) into executable machine code one line at a time as the program is running; as opposed to a compiler, which translates the entire program before the program is executed. The different interpreters used by Sierra for their games are described in the next chapter. | And while you might know, Sierra games use an "interpreter".
