Hi Tom.
Fair enough, though i do remember you discussing writing an rpg previously
which is why I mentioned it.
I personally have no overbaring preference between text or sapi as output
method, though regarding the parza I myself would be in favour of a limited
parza like the on Eamon has, where the player is told exactly what verbs
he/she has to play with at the start of the game.
That way if you say had found a guitar string and a guitar with no strings,
you wouldn't have to worry if the developer wanted you to use "string
guitar with string", "fix guitar with string", "tune guitar with string"
etc, and could just use "use string with guitar" or "put string on guitar"
This goes directly against standard zork style convention, but to be honest
I'd always myself rather have an explorable world with objects who's uses I
can identify than running around constantly seeing "I don't know how to put"
or similar.
this is why I pretty much don't play interactive fiction anymore.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
