I need to test the random text etc. there. It didn't really get tested in release 4.

1000 lines per day is a good pace.

Currently at line 809, hint availability variables. "a thing can be ssok, ssno, ssblur or ssclear. a thing is usually ssok."

86 as of now

This would be neat to do.

We could simply have a table with all the animals/pre-animals in them, and we could sort it randomly at the beginning.

Then we could go through it and the first one that gets hinted, you get the next clue.

However, this presents a small problem with

HINT LEOPARD
HINT (when Satyr is before Leopard)

So there's a lot of busy work to do. I suppose the current fixed order is perfectly suitable.

This is less arduous than Roiling but still likely a pain. It's something I always think I checked, but I'm worried I didn't.

It's possible to use just a plain cheat-test to go through e.g.

CAP 11
X LIST.G.G
CAP 4
GONEAR MOOR.Z.Z.Z
PURLOIN MAPS.X MAPS.G.G.G.G
GONEAR NERDS.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z
GONEAR CONDO.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z
S.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z
S.S.X PSA.G.G.G.G.G
GONEAR HOTSPOT.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z
TRIO.POTTERS.CHAIN.KILNS.
Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.TUG TOE.E

(Do the endgame)

1. decide what item is the current one to use the pills on
2. then check if it is prefigured or hinted
3. then go with the text

to decide what item is pill-target:
(etc.)

There are some features I want to send to testers without sending to release mode. These can be marked with " - not for release" but the line before will be [ok for testers] and the perl script to change the text will dump the file in another directory.

Then I can compile it on the command line.

That directory will be a common dumping ground so I will need to be aware of things that might go wrong like pulling the wrong binary etc.

As of now, using the snoop spoon then the truffle gives no truffle warning.

Maybe region is spoilitem-warned.

The nerds are at 194. Let's get 'em to 200, the next round numbered.

For instance, HINT POST a bunch of times, then EAT TRUFFLE will tell you what to do.

This is sort of the player's fault, but it's enough my responsibility I can fix it. The problem is, it's nontrivial.

When objhinting, if you hit the (minus) then it flips a global flag. If the global flag is flipped, the item becomes ingame-hinted. So you cannot waste a hint-food on it.

This is already fixed in the code (preliminary) but not tested.

Cases include:

• HINT ASHTRAY then X SPOON (U)
• HINT POST then EAT TRUFFLE (V)
• HINT HUMP then EAT CRUST (P)
• HINT CLAM then SPILL PILLS (Y)
• HINT CLUMSY then XRAY CLUMSY (W)
• HINT ED RILEY then DISCERN (T)
• HINT IMP then DISCERN is a particularly tricky case. If you've already gotten 1, then...

In Shuffling, there's a lot less to test. EAT SALTINE after hinting a bunch of times.

Basically split by ^[a-z-] and then look through each

This is straightforward enough I can just plow through Roiling and Shuffling easily.

Closing this issue indicates I ran through the output, too

I may wish to track every word, so that if we have (x)-(y) and x or y is represented, we flag that.

It can mark every digit and add a letter to the string as you go through. Then you can tell if something is forced or not.

This is probably semi-obvious from the initial inputs, but it's not hard to add, and it'll be a fun feature.

I'm at 86 now.

There's a ton, isn't there. This is for Tales Slate ideas as well as my general ideas, so this may be deferred. But I want to write this issue so it is visible when I go to GitHub and thus I bump it in priority.

Of course, it's a Lament Mantle. It changes the picture of the Previous Pious Rev.

He laments pretty much everything. It's some pretty aggressive lamenting! Full of tough love, if you're really gullible. And stuff he's actually sad about

What they look like, what they do when they flee.

Also, if there are people left over before you remove Rodney, they thank you. But they are slightly jealous of the people you did help out. They're too embarrassed to ask for help. They realize who you are. They will do the best with the virtues they have.

1. note, after 5 times, it will cycle after (XX). Also note you can see everything by winning the game or reading the source.
2. at the end, note how many there are, total, and go in for that.

This will help especially with cases such as the Catechism where you have 3 different things that go in so maybe I have 10 of each.

This should/can be done for Shuffling, too. It will probably be a bit tighter, though the bit at the start will cut off before you get too far. It will be the biggest, going down about 20 times or so for each of 5 random names.

I'm wondering if there should be a sort of way to judge how badly this behavior from the macks is to change.

Also,

• tidy, PLUS/duty slip/lusty dip/stupidly
• modestly
• nice, slyer, sincerely
• shabbily
• shoddily
• emotionally -> too menially
• ends duly = suddenly

Make sure I can test everything.

Pods 1-7, maybe more based on how many letters each adverb has.

Just to say, oh hey, look here

rg.pl/rg.txt for Shuffling

settler.pl/settler.txt for Roiling

E.g. allow for "Jocko J Cook"

If I can throw in looking for a person's first name as well, that'd be fantastic.

Shouldn't be too bad a fix. cromulent if gcd(all # of letters) > 1

if (($a =~ /the /i) && (cromulent($a)))
if (($a =~ /a /i) && (cromulent($a)))

Be a good way to get rid of some early false positives.

Towers

Including the SEED command, 1-4, making sure I tackle everyone. Scan and examine them all.

gq.pl
ti.pl
anan.pl
brit-1word.txt
firsts.txt
lasts.txt

I need to test each of the random texts in-game as well as at the end. There will be a document for this.

Also mention that being male or female has nothing to do with gameplay.

And mention any "hilarious" bugs where female is he/him/his is due to me missing a grep or something. I'd like to know.

"No hint" turns off hints for the current session.

"NOTHIN" turns off hints for the remainder of the game & you have to restart.

This is not as critical with Shuffling, though I may slip it in there.

1000 lines a day when I have the time. Look for obvious mistakes. 20 pages in Notepad++. Compile after each vet. Emphasis on documentation and looking for details and ??'s.

Current line: 0

to sort-genders:
if player is male: (do stuff)
else:
(do slightly different)

to say he-she of

to say him-her of

to say his-her of

(also need capitalization)

sba.pl

Basically takes everything with a base anagram (eg. mega game -> a1e1g1m1) and lumps them together in a hash and prints them out, to make sure overlap is not too egregious

This can be run across games for an extra check.

I've liked the idea of changing location names while you're in them so much, I thought this would be good, in Troves. It also does the whole fake rags to riches thing a bit more.

It would be nice to poke the player as a reverse of #13. But it's a bit tricky and the player doesn't lose an item as in #13.

This is a silly goal strictly for myself. But it's fun.

Newt L'Amore has fashioned a MEAN TROWEL which has protection against a MOANER WELT.

to determine which item is otters-hot-item:
(if it is nothing, print an error)
(if it is prefigured or hint-thru, note that)

Then redo "carry out discerning"

These aren't strictly for roiling but it'd be nice to be able to sort ideas by size and/or alophabet.

Also Bad-cap.pl will detect bad caps and how often they happen. For books, it tracks what is not capped. For everything else, it detects what is. Maybe each table has a flag for default capitalization or not and anything that doesn't touch it is flagged and incremented before sorting..

to say kidfirst:
say "[if smart kid is male]Dirk[else]Kim[end if]"

to say kidfull:
say "[if smart kid is male]Dir Stam[else]Kim Strad[end if]"

I can do this!

5-10 a day means it's done by IFComp time. Or during IFComp. Whichever.

The easy part is defining Yow so at the beginning.

The hard part is to note all the test cases. So I will need to grep for the following.

1. doc-y and (him/his/he)
2. Yow and (him/his/he)

Lord Al Ollard

This can be put in the beginning when the player starts.

which-greedbag is a thing that varies.
if player is female:
now which-greedbag is Lord Al;
else:
now which-greedbag is Dr Lola;

For instance, the trout in Oyster, or the dart, or Leo or Rand, or even something that you've guessed but can't flip yet. Or anything with the old giant.

The test cases are too numerous to list at the moment, but if I hint-walkthrough, it should be pretty clear.

This is for the daily files on my computer I did not orgainze. There should not be much, and it should be fun.

This can be put in the beginning when the player starts.

which-trader is a person that varies.
if player is female:
now which-trader is Tera Darter;
else:
now which-person is Art Erd;

Oh, don't forget Printed name of Dr Tera is "Dr. Tera"

Obviously I need to grep for trader and art and erd

2200 or so things left. Copied from games.otl's "anaroi" section.

The plan is to print out a page a day and work on it. At 320 or so per, that is 7 days.

I would like to alphabetize the file to make it easier. Though first I need to finish the page I started.

RESET both before and after changing to STEER

RESET both before and after pushing TREES and "realizing" RESET

Currently I just throw an error when hint disambiguation is needed, to avoid spoilers.

That's okay, but sometimes, it's really not needed. See: old giant vs giant painting in Roiling.

In the bar, I say things repeat again but there's one more last text before the official restart.
