Author here: I'm curious if anyone took the time to complete the text adventure?

  • Cogito a day ago

    Completed it. Was really fun, thank you!

    I wasn't sure how to chain function calls so had to look that up to implement movei, but apart from that was fairly straightforward (it's (do (<func1>) (<func2>) ...)).

    My UI was pretty simple and ended up being

        (defn looki [] (display-html (look-html (look))))
        (defn movei [dir] (do (move dir) (looki)))
        (looki)
        (movei :south)
        (movei :east)
        (movei :north)
        (movei :south)
        (movei :west)
        (unlock-function :spoiler)
        (stack)
        (push :picture)
        (push :spoilers)
        (peek)
        (pop)
        (reset)

    I got a bit stuck.

    (I got the 5 items. Somehow lost :key-code. I think I inadvertently duplicated :close-paren and :unlock-function, though I have no idea how.

    In :utility-room, the "bookcas " is missing an e.

    When the mouse is over one of those inline-eval boxes, "scroll up" works, "scroll down" does not.

    edit: oh, I was trying to play the whole game before the rest of the article too … so that was probably harder than it needed to be ^_^

    edit: (pop) seems to be what screws up my inventory, dropping multiple items from the stack, but if :a :b are dropped, they end up as like :b :b ?

    edit: I think I beat it? I got to exit-to-freedom, which I'm assuming is the end.

      I probably made the puzzle harder than it needed to be...

      I fixed the sp error in the utility room.

        I think I beat it, assuming reaching exit-to-freedom is the win condition.

        I think it's (pop) that screws up my inventory? Seems like it pops two things, and one becomes the other.

        • brucehauman a day ago

          Well I'll need to fix that!

          edit: it's fixed, you might need a shift-reload to get the new code.

          You beat it. Even on hard mode where the pop function wasn't working.

Is it possible to ^r on iphone?

    I believe you may be able to do it with a 3rd party keyboard app. I was able to use one for my Android phone, just unsure what's available for iOS.
