REBOL[ Title: "Hunt the Wumpus" Date: 20-Jul-2003 File: %wumpus.r Purpose: "A REBOL version of a retro text game. Just for fun." Author: "Gregg Irwin" EMail: %greggirwin--acm--org Version: 1.0.1 Library: [ level: 'intermediate platform: 'all type: [script demo game] domain: [game] tested-under: none support: none license: none see-also: none ] Comment: { I found an old version, in C (by Eric Raymond), which was adapted from an even older version, in BASIC (by Magnus Olsson), that had been found in a SIMTEL archive. It's got lineage. As of 22-Oct-2001, it appears to work, though I haven't traced the arrow path'ing logic yet, nor made it smart. Arrows can go pretty much anywhere you tell them and, yes, you can shoot yourself as in the original. I tweaked a few strings, but the instructions are almost unscathed. Ahhh, it takes me back to my Dad's HP85 with the built-in 5 inch monochrome screen, tape drive, and thermal printer... } history: [ 1.0.0 22-Mar-2002 [{Initial Release}] 1.0.1 11-Apr-2002 [ {Fixed bug where the Wumpus might eat you after you shot him.

SUPER BATS - TWO OTHER ROOMS HAVE SUPER BATS. IF YOU GO THERE, A BAT GRABS YOU AND TAKES YOU TO SOME OTHER ROOM AT RANDOM. (WHICH MAY BE TROUBLESOME) WUMPUS: THE WUMPUS IS NOT BOTHERED BY HAZARDS (HE HAS SUCKER FEET AND IS TOO BIG FOR A BAT TO LIFT). USUALLY HE IS ASLEEP. TWO THINGS WAKE HIM UP: YOU SHOOTING AN ARROW OR YOU ENTERING HIS ROOM. IF THE WUMPUS WAKES HE MOVES ONE ROOM (75% chance) OR STAYS STILL (25% chance). AFTER THAT, IF HE IS WHERE YOU ARE, HE EATS YOU UP AND YOU LOSE! YOU: EACH TURN YOU MAY MOVE OR SHOOT A CROOKED ARROW. MOVING: YOU CAN MOVE ONE ROOM (THROUGH ONE TUNNEL). ARROWS: YOU HAVE 5 ARROWS. YOU LOSE WHEN YOU RUN OUT. EACH ARROW CAN GO FROM 1 TO 5 ROOMS. YOU AIM BY TELLING THE COMPUTER THE ROOMS YOU WANT THE ARROW TO GO TO. IF THE ARROW CAN'T GO THAT WAY (I.E. NO TUNNEL) IT MOVES AT RANDOM TO THE NEXT ROOM. * IF THE ARROW HITS THE WUMPUS, YOU WIN. * IF THE ARROW HITS YOU, YOU LOSE.
