In the previous post, we looked at a small fragment of code. In this post, we look at the Innkeeper program, which accounts for roughly half of the engine code. The code is included in its entirety and I will go through it in the order that it appears in the file.
We kick off with the copyright note and few two letter variable declarations. The most important variable here is KA - this a pointer to the binary game data. This is followed in memory by KB, which holds the character data. This is stored in a region of memory below BASIC and will not be erased when a new program is loaded.

77 DATA "NONE",0,0,"LEATHER",150,30,"RINGMAIL",350,100,"CHAIN MAIL",500,150,"PARTIAL PLATE",750,250,"FULL PLATE",1000,1000,"INTELLIGENCE","INTUITION","EGO","STRENGTH","CONSTITUTION","DEXTERITY"
78 FOR I = 0 TO 5: READ NA$(I),W(I),P(I):W(I) = INT (W(I) / 16 + .5): NEXT I
79 W(0) = 0: FOR I = 1 TO 6: READ NC$(I): NEXT IThe armor table is as follows, with the weight rather oddly being expressed in ounces and converted to pounds on read. Weight is important in ToA, since the game has an encumberance system. The protection afforded by armor is implicit on its order in this table - i.e. None has an AC of 0, Full plate an AC of 5. The types of armor would be familiar to players of D&D - which is helpful, as the game provides no information about the mechanical effect of different armor types.
Weight (Oz) Price (Sp) AC
None 0 0 0
Leather 150 30 1
Ring 350 100 2
Chain 500 150 3
Partial 750 250 4
Full 1000 1000 5
The six characteristics are:
Intelligence
Intuition
Ego
Strength
Constitution
Dexterity
The manual suggests that if converting from "another system" ( by which they mean D&D - TSR, D&D's publishers - were extremely protective of their trademark in this period, so the game is never mentioned by name ), one should interpret "Intuition" as ( D&D's) "Wisdom" and "Ego" as "Charisma". However, the upper three stats play a fairly minor role.
These tables are followed by Weapons

Again, weapons have a weight ( now in lbs ), a price, a damage score, a minimum strength requirement and a dexterity range. Below "Dex Low", an attack penalty is incurred, above "Dex High" a bonus is received. Magic swords are special and don't have any explicit stats. The "Great Sword", while doing the most damage, is also the only two handed weapon, and so incompatible with wielding a shield:
90 DATA 6,3,10,8,15,12,5,15,6,17
95 FOR I = 1 TO 2: READ SW(I),SD(I),SP(I): FOR J = 0 TO 1: READ DS(I - 1,J): NEXT J: NEXT I
99 LS = 0:SM = 0
Weight (lbs) AC Price Dex Low Dex High

Large 12 5 15 6 17
Like weapons, these have a dexterity range. The Armor class of the shield indicates how much protection it affords.
These items are purchased from the Innkeeper. This involves haggling and the following table presents the Innkeeper's responses. Each has a weight to manage the probability that it is emitted, which yields a bit of variety and improves immersion.

On pressing a key, you find yourself conversing with the Innkeeper. Based on the value of the magic number, if we are coming from the dungeon, we are asked if we want to see our treasure inventory. The reason we need to see it, is so that we can manually, on a piece of paper, add up how much money we have using the master the treasure key in the manual. ToA very much operates on an honour system. After all, you'd only be cheating yourself. We also initialise the weight carried to 5 lbs ( clothing ,etc. we assume)

Otherwise we find ourselves at 1205. The subroutines off of this are related to purchasing various pieces of equipment:
2600 weapons
2800 shields
2000 armor
3000 bow and arrows
3200 healing salves
Calls to these are gated by the character having enough money ( MO ).
It is also here that the players base "ToHit" (PB) score is computed. This is
11 - WeaponPoints(WP) - Level/2
Weapon points are computed from dexterity and "Level" is the character's advancement level. In combat, a D20 is rolled against this value ( adjusted by some modifiers ) and if the player rolls higher, then a hit is scored. This is clearly inspired by this 1st edition D&D attack matrix, although armor works slightly differently in the dunjonquest games.
PA is similar but from the monster's point of view.

The haggle subroutine is used by all the purchase routines above. It's one of the few places in the game where the intelligence stat is used. This, along with ego, determines by how much the Innkeeper adjusts his asking price in response to the player's offer. The important lines are 4058 and 4060. Here we consider the difference between the player's offer and the asking price. A fraction of this is added to the player's previous offer weighted by the player's stats and a non-uniform random number. This number is generated by feeding a uniformly generated number through square root (SQR) to get a distribution biased towards 1. If the sum of ego and intelligence are 20 or greater, the Innkeeper will move his asking price towards the player's. If they are less than 20, there is some chance that he will raise his asking price.
