If you include statements, you should also integrate some operators (such as ==, &&, ||, !=, <= and >=). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Adventure Creator (AAC) from Gamehawk
I sort of assumed that having at least a conditional operator in the language would be a necessity, as most interactive fiction puzles (even those that only use a symple set of commands), seem to involve it somewhere, and unless I'm going completely on the wrong track, would be needed in writing the game. Eg: If player uses the key item on the door, the option "Enter door" is added to the list of possible exits from the room. Assuming I've got this idea right, it might also help if the language could handle conjunction and disjunction as well, so that it would be possible to create more complex puzles and situations with more alternatives, such as being able to use iether the items a lockpick or the door key to open it. sorry if i'm talking a load of rubbish here, I freely admit I don't know much about practical programming, though I have studdied formal and philosophical logic, and from the litle I do know the two things do seem vaguely related. Beware the Grue!
