Hello everyone. I think we should play a game of Zork together. If you do not know what Zork is, it's an old text based RPG. I will take the first response to each of my posts and input it into the game and we can slowly progress. Let's have fun with this. If you don't know how to communicate with Zork some basic commands instructions will be in >>2.
Let's start!
West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
>
In ZORK, you type your sentence in plain English
each time you see the prompt (>). ZORK usually
acts as if your sentence begins “I want to...,” although
you shouldn’t actually type those words. You
can use the words like “THE” if you want, and you can
use capital letters if you want; ZORK doesn’t care
either way.
When you finish typing a sentence, press the RETURN
(or ENTER) key and ZORK will process your
request. ZORK will respond, telling you whether your
request is possible at this point in the story and what
happened as a result.
ZORK recognizes your words by their first six
letters, and all subsequent letters are ignored.
Therefore, CANDLE, CANDLEs and CANDLEstick
would all be treated as the same word by ZORK.
To move around, just type the desired direction.
You can use the eight compass directions: NORTH,
SOUTH, EAST, WEST, NORTHEAST, NORTHWEST,
SOUTHEAST and SOUTHWEST. You can abbreviate
these to N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW, respectively.
You can use UP (or U) and DOWN (or D). IN
and OUT will also work in certain places.
ZORK understands many different kinds of sentences.
Here are several examples. (Note that some
of these objects do not actually appear in ZORK.)
> WALK NORTH
> DOWN
> NE
> GO SOUTH
> U
> TAKE BOX
> PICK UP THE WOODEN BOX
> DROP IT
> PUSH THE BUTTON
> OPEN THE WOODEN DOOR
> EXAMINE THE SCUBA GEAR
> LOOK BEHIND THE STATUE
> LOOK UNDER THE ROCK
> LOOK INSIDE THE BUBBLING CAULDRON
> KILL THE BEAR WITH THE GUN
> SHOOT BEAR WITH LARGE RIFLE
You can use multiple objects with certain verbs if
you separate them by the word AND or by a comma.
Some examples:
> TAKE LAMP, JAR, FLUTE
> DROP THE DAGGER, LANCE, AND MACE
> PUT THE GOLD BAR AND THE PEARL IN THE
TROPHY CASE
The word ALL refers to every visible object except
those inside something else. If there were an apple
on the ground and an orange inside a cabinet, TAKE
ALL would take the apple but not the orange.
> TAKE ALL
> TAKE ALL THE BOOKS
> TAKE ALL FROM THE DESK
> GIVE ALL BUT THE PENCIL TO THE NYMPH
> DROP ALL EXCEPT THE DART GUN
> xyzzy
A hollow voice says "Fool."
>
> draw DADDYCOOL on the mailbox
I don't know the word "draw".
(maybe i will if you payme enoguh ;))
>
I don't know the word "hollow".
(the voice flees)
>
> INVENTORY
You are empty-handed.
>
> genuflect
I don't know the word "genuflect".
(OTL)
>
> grab dick
I don't know the word "dick".
>
> go north
North of House
You are facing the north side of a white house. There is no door here, and all the windows are boarded up. To the north a narraow path winds through the trees.
>
> eat house
> destroy target nonblack creature
I don't think that the white house would agree with you.
>
> go south
> open mailbox
Opening the small mailbox reveals a leaflet.
>
> read the leaflet
> pause
$ sudo make me a sandwich
$ zork resume
> pocket leaflet
<Taken>
WELCOME TO ZORK!
ZORK is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. I nit you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortals. No computer should be without one!
