Example: * Test Game for Exit Lister -

This example asks the player up front what they want to see in the exit list, in order to better demonstrate the options. Normally, though, these will be fixed by the author, although if you want you can define additional commands to let the player change them at will.

    Hallway is a room. "This hallway is decorated with the simplest wallpaper you have ever seen. There are no pictures, or plates with wise words, nor tiles with proverbs hanging on any of the walls. The only thing you notice is that all the doors are painted in different colors."

    The pink door is east of hallway and west of Bathroom. It is a door and scenery.
    The description of the bathroom is "Everything in here is pink. The tiles on the walls, the toilet bowl, the bathtub, the floor, and even the ceiling. The only thing not pink is a large mirror on the wall, but since all it reflects is pink that hardly matters.".

    The rope ladder is up from garden and down from the Tree house. It is a open unopenable door and scenery.
    The passing text of rope ladder is "climbing". Instead of climbing the rope ladder in tree house, try going down. Instead of climbing the rope ladder in garden, try going up.
