|
! Locations
|
|
!
|
|
! In this section we will define our locations. These are "Objects" to Inform
|
|
! and contain the following elements.
|
|
!
|
|
! - object name
|
|
! The object name represents the variable or handle of the object.
|
|
! - short description
|
|
! The short description is the description printed in bold before the
|
|
! normal description.
|
|
! - initial description
|
|
! The initial description is printed only once when the location is first
|
|
! entered by the player.
|
|
! - normal description
|
|
! The normal description is printed everytime the player enters the location.
|
|
! - directional properties (tells which direction player can move) (optional)
|
|
! These include n_to, ne_to, e_to, up_to, in_to, etc. and are followed by
|
|
! another location object name.
|
|
! - properties
|
|
! Properties are functions that you can add to an object that help determine
|
|
! events and actions.
|
|
! - attributes
|
|
! Attributes are True/False values that help you remember certain states of
|
|
! an object or event, such as whether the lights are on or not. The positive
|
|
! value is represented as "light" and the negative would be "~light". There
|
|
! are standard attributes used by Inform and you can add your own as well.
|
|
!
|
|
! Actually, there's more than this, but we'll add the complicated stuff later!

|
|
! VERSION 2 - Adding more locations to your Inform program
|
|
!
|
|
! We're going to take one small step in this version. Let's add a bunch of
|
|
! locations so that the player can move around a little bit.
|
|
!
|
|
! Notice that in the Sidewalk Object definition we added a direction in the
|
|
! description "to the west" and we added the directional property "w_to"
|
|
! that leads to the "Front_Porch" location that we defined below.
|
|
!
|
|
! If you follow these examples you will see how locations are "connected"
|
|
! or "mapped" together with the directional properties. Feel free to change
|
|
! then around so that they connect in different ways.
|
|
!
|
|
! Q: In the "Front_Porch" definition, the description continues over two
|
|
! lines. Is this okay?
|
|
!
|
|
! A: Inform allows you to extend statements over multiple lines as you
|
|
! need. You may need to write code that extends over multiple lines
|
|
! but mostly it will be descriptions as in "Front_Porch". You don't
|
|
! need to add any extra characters to tell Inform that you've jumped
|
|
! to the next line either...Inform will figure that out when it compiles.
