Lectrote 1.5.0, now with automatic transcripting

OK, this was Z-code. The goal was to capture the intro text inside the transcript file. But it looks like that all gets captured in the auto-transcript, so I can use that in future. Thanks.

I’m not sure of the best way to preserve formatting when submitting a transcript as a tester. I tried “select all” and then pasting into Word, but the result didn’t look very good (certainly legible though).

Would it be possible to add a “save as HTML” option?

Should be possible. I’ll add a note to the repo.

Is it possible to use the transcripting feature in a game which is posted online? For example, if I have created educational game, would it be possible to record the names of the players and save their progress somewhere for subsequent evaluation?

The code I wrote cannot be used on a web site.

However, it’s possible to modify the web interpreter to send transcript information to a server. IFComp does this so that authors can see transcripts of players playing their games.

I don’t think there’s an out-of-the-box solution, though. You’d have to set up a server to receive the messages.

You can have a look here for the format as well as a basic example server.
