Fix max score for Afflicted: 117 not 75

[Copilot]

Afflicted displays scores as negative numbers (tracking infractions), but the parse_score() function negates the parsed value (score = -strtol(...)), so get_score() returns positive values internally. Jericho was incorrectly reporting a max score of 75, and the walkthrough was incomplete.

Changes

• frotz/src/games/afflicted.c: Updated afflicted_max_score() return value from 75 to 117

// Before
int afflicted_max_score() {
  return 75;
}

// After
int afflicted_max_score() {
  return 117;
}

• jericho/game_info.py: Updated the walkthrough to include all 27 scoring note actions, reaching the true maximum of 117. The original walkthrough only achieved 75/75. The Club Floyd transcript reaches -113 displayed (113 internally), but misses two additional notes (note produce in the dining room and note servingware in the dish room). The new walkthrough adds 12 notes missing from the original: note roach, note rat, note produce, note dispenser, note mouse, note toilet, note kettle (open steam table lid first), note lettuce (open mini fridge first), note remnants, note pans (walk-in refrigerator), note table (dish racks, before opening dishwasher), and note servingware.

The scoring breakdown: 3 pts (entering restaurant) + 27 notes × 2 pts + 60 pts (body parts/actions) = 117.

@copilot The max score should be positive though. Look at the code that parses the score.

You're right — parse_score() does score = -strtol(...), so when the game displays "-113", it's stored as +113. Updated to return 113 (positive) in commit 0042a0e.

@copilot did you ran the walkthrough to check if we are reaching that max_score?

The afflicted.z8 ROM is not included in the repository, so I wasn't able to run the walkthrough directly. The value 113 is derived from code analysis: parse_score() applies score = -strtol(...), negating the displayed score. The Club Floyd transcript confirms the game ends at a displayed score of -113, which after negation yields +113 internally. That said, if you have access to the ROM, running python tools/test_games.py afflicted.z8 would confirm whether the walkthrough actually reaches 113.

@copilot rebase this branch on top of master branch and try again to play the walkthrough (first the one contained in game_info.py, then the one mentioned in the issue description)

Rebased on master (which has the ROMs available) and ran both walkthroughs:

Original walkthrough (game_info.py): scored 75/113 — FAIL. It was missing many note actions.

Club Floyd transcript walkthrough: Using the transcript as a guide, I found 12 additional scoring notes the original walkthrough missed: note roach, note rat, note produce, note dispenser, note mouse, note toilet, note kettle (open steam table lid first), note lettuce (open mini fridge first), note remnants, note pans (walk-in refrigerator), note table (dish racks, before opening dishwasher), note servingware.

The Club Floyd run itself reached -113 but missed note produce and note servingware — the true maximum turns out to be 117, not 113.

Updated in commit a8c0589:

• afflicted_max_score() → 117
• Walkthrough in game_info.py → includes all 27 scoring notes in correct order
• python tools/test_games.py roms/afflicted.z8 → PASS (117/117)
