Section 14 - Testing - Not for release

Table of Basic Help Options (continued)

Understand "* [text]" as a mistake ("Annotation noted.").

When play begins:

seed the random-number generator with 1234;

say "[line break]TESTERS: Please read the notes on testing provided in the handbook ('READ BOOK').".

[The game was designed to stop the player from dropping a sin. Therefore we add a test only command to do so for testing.]

Freedom is an action applying to nothing. Carry out freedom:

if the player carries a sin:

repeat with the sin running through sins carried by player:

move the sin to the location of the player;

say "[the sin]: Dropped.";

otherwise:

say "You are already free of sin.".

Understand "freedom" as freedom.

[Allow commands to manipulate Persephone for testing]

To cheat with Persephone:

now Persephone is idle;

say "[Persephone] has been trans-located and stops moving.".

Instead of asking Persephone to try exiting:

move Persephone to Persephone's Chamber;

cheat with Persephone.

Instead of asking Persephone to try entering:

move Persephone to the throne;

cheat with Persephone.

Instead of asking Persephone to try jumping:

now Persephone is not idle;

say "[Persephone] starts moving again.".

[Allow commands to cheat with Cerberus]

Instead of asking Cerberus to try sleeping:

now Cerberus is not guarding;

say "[Cerberus] lays down playfully.".

Instead of asking Cerberus to try jumping:

now Cerberus is guarding;

say "[Cerberus] stands at attention.".
