However, It's slightly less of a puzzle and more a game of exploration. There are a few magical words in the game, but on the whole, simple English should suffice to make one's desires understandable to the parser. -.SH "THE SETTING" +.Sh THE SETTING In the days before the darkness came, when battlestars ruled the heavens... -.br -.nf - - Three He made and gave them to His daughters, - Beautiful nymphs, the goddesses of the waters. - One to bring good luck and simple feats of wonder, - Two to wash the lands and churn the waves asunder, - Three to rule the world and purge the skies with thunder. - -.fi -.PP +.Bd -literal -offset indent +Three He made and gave them to His daughters, +Beautiful nymphs, the goddesses of the waters. +One to bring good luck and simple feats of wonder, +Two to wash the lands and churn the waves asunder, +Three to rule the world and purge the skies with thunder. +.Ed +.Pp In those times great wizards were known and their powers were beyond belief.

Swords and coats of mail were fashioned that could withstand a laser blast. -.PP +.Pp But when the darkness fell, the rightful reigns were toppled. Swords and helms and heads of state went rolling across the grass. The entire fleet of battlestars was reduced to a single ship. -.SH "SAMPLE COMMANDS" -.nf - - take --- take an object - drop --- drop an object - - wear --- wear an object you are holding - draw --- carry an object you are wearing +.Sh SAMPLE COMMANDS +.Bd -literal -offset indent +take --- take an object +drop --- drop an object - puton --- take an object and wear it - take off -- draw an object and drop it +wear --- wear an object you are holding +draw --- carry an object you are wearing - throw <object> <direction> +puton --- take an object and wear it +take off -- draw an object and drop it - ! <shell esc> - -.fi -.SH "IMPLIED OBJECTS" -.nf +throw <object> <direction> - >-: take watermelon - watermelon: - Taken. - >-: eat - watermelon: - Eaten. - >-: take knife and sword and apple, drop all - knife: - Taken. - broadsword: - Taken. - apple: - Taken. - knife: - Dropped. - broadsword: - Dropped. - apple: - Dropped. - >-: get - knife: - Taken. - -.fi -.PP +! <shell esc> +.Ed +.Sh IMPLIED OBJECTS +.Bd -literal -offset indent +>-: take watermelon +watermelon: +Taken. +>-: eat +watermelon: +Eaten. +>-: take knife and sword and apple, drop all +knife: +Taken. +broadsword: +Taken. +apple: +Taken. +knife: +Dropped. +broadsword: +Dropped. +apple: +Dropped. +>-: get +knife: +Taken. +.Ed +.Pp Notice that the "shadow" of the next word stays around if you want to take advantage of it.
