• View topic - (updated)New game. The adventures of super shlong issue 1.

Made a new game, short and sweet. Do not expect peril in pleasantville part 2 heh . This is just a little morsel of a game akin to an issue of a comic book, if people like it there will be more. The game is played with the same programs you used for PIP.

old link removed due to a small bug I noticed which would trigger an incorrect picture.. please delete your game file and use this one instead.http://www.mediafire.com/?6g9i8687u6su7nm

If you have a problem downloading from mediafire let me know and I will re upload to another place.

it was very enjoyable,however some form of hint on what to do would have been lovely, for example

but aside from that it was nice and fun, pity it ended so soon :P

Good work!

I enjoyed the game, and the episodic style is new and fresh to me, I don't know of any AIF games that done it before, I look forward to seeing more of Fridigia (love name lol).

asked zookeeper about locker,no response
however when i asked her about key 5 minutes later,it worked.

direct code from game:

(After reading a command:
if the player's command includes "ask zookeeper about locker" , replace matched text with "ask zookeeper about brass key".

After reading a command:
if the player's command includes "ask woman about locker" , replace matched text with "ask zookeeper about brass key".

After reading a command:
if the player's command includes "ask zookeeper about equipment locker" , replace matched text with "ask zookeeper about brass key".

After reading a command:
if the player's command includes "ask woman about equipment locker" , replace matched text with "ask zookeeper about brass key". )

So if you ask her about the locker there should never be a non response. Not sure how you worded your question.

Some people have reported problems with the file when downloading using sendspace, if you are one of these people here is an alternative location to download:

Just my thoughts but if ALL downloads are listed on post 1 it's very easy for all to find.
You can edit your first post to add sites or change a mistake.

That is not good practice, I'd think. You make coding conversations harder for yourself than it needs to be. Ideally, you would have some kind of topic system, but natively Inform only uses string tokens. However, you can already improve your range of possible permutations with the built-in features. Taken from the manual:

It is also often the case that we want to accept more than one form of a term. For instance

Code: Select all
Instead of asking the Sybil about "Darius/king", say "Her smile unnerves you."

will match either "Darius" or "king". If necessary, we can go a step further and define our own token to match a variety of phrases, like this:

Code: Select all
Understand "Athenians/Spartans/Greeks" or "hoplite army/forces" as "[Greeks]". Instead of asking the Sybil about "[Greeks]", say "She looks encouraging."

The token "[Greeks]" will match all of "Athenians", "Spartans", "Greeks", "hoplite army", or "hoplite forces".

So if the zookeeper is an object with multiple synonyms, you could cover many more cases without replacing the text the player entered.

Much better still is the use of an extension like the Conversation Framework that lets you work with objects/things instead of string tokens.

You are correct, in this circumstance there are only a small amount of things you can talk about. I had it so if you ask for the key she gives it to you, but also wanted it so if you asked about the locker it would give the same reply..but if I did a understand "locker" as key type thing then if you examined the locker it would give you an answer as if you were examining the key...If I had a more robust conversation pool in the game I would have coded a bit differently but as it was I just cut and pasted the "after reading a command" and replaced a few words..seemed just as quick/easy. Thanks for the reply though, I know for certain I do go about things in a funky way at times lol.

Well..has anyone played it? lol

Yea. It wasn't bad. Not much in the way of story, but the first puzzle was nice and the pictures were good.
