Introduction

aInvisiclue is a small program to decode the Infocom InvisiClues. It won't translate the whole files as you should only translate one hint at a time, but it is very easy to cut and paste. The encoding is very simple:

A => B, B => C, ..., Z => A.

You may find the InvisiClues here: invcode.tar.gz or invcode.zip.

You may also find decoded Invisiclues on the net, but the disadvantage of them is that it is easy to spoil the fun of a game as you may catch a glimpse of solutions you should not know of at this time in the game.

The program was developed in Ada95 using the GNU Ada compiler GNAT.
