@gennapher_ Hi how is it going? I am looking for some help in the London area. Do you have a car?

I have always thought the way my modified Tinymud was programmed was fun. I have started to distill the idea into a standalone program.

exits that start with a period, are only matchable when the effective userid is the owner of the exit or a wizard.
So the .wet is not matchable by players, fill bottle with water sends .wet to the room to see if water is available.

As a programming environment it can be easy or hard : )
CAVERN(#5586 RQ)
You are in a magnificent cavern with a rushing stream, which cascades over a
sparkling waterfall into a roaring whirlpool which disappears through a
hole in the floor. Passages exit to the south and west.

For some reason I thought this was a good idea, Bottle(#5826 C)
Class: Adven Thing Class
Commands:
.reset #7331
.port #7116
.isempty #3336
look #3334
.has # water #3330
.pour # water #3324
.fill # water #3321

[peter churchyard @codewizard58]

Normally I would just move objects such as "Some water" or "Some oil" to / from the bottle.

[peter churchyard @codewizard58]

No AI would do this yet.

How this works uses the search order of the environment - room, things in room, player, players in room. All matches are put in a list and the lock functions are evaluated one by one until there is a true result or all have been tried. FAIL issues a message and returns false

[peter churchyard @codewizard58]

Was forgetting to set the class of the objects used to define the play order. So typical Object Oriented hack (#15983 is the class room ) :-
@open /#15983 .class = 0
4 opened exit number 15992 from autoscript(15983).
Trying to link...
Linked.
@lock #15992=FAIL{"$0 autoscript", }

[peter churchyard @codewizard58]

Locked.
