AGI specs Last updated: 11 July 1998 Click here do download a zipped version of AGI specs Important note AGI specs is intended for people writing AGI programs such as editors, viewers and interpreters. It is not supposed to be a beginners' introduction to AGI, or a logic programming guide for those who just want to create games (although it can serve as a reference for more advanced logic programmers). If you want to learn the logic programming language, I suggest you read the logic section of the AGI Studio help file, and the various other bits of documentation and tutorials that are available on the net. The programming info here is mostly from the AGDS package, which was produced by others a few years ago, and uses different syntax and terminology for the language and can be confusing if you are using AGI Studio for your programming. 1.
