Murder in the Park - A Robotic Mystery
======================================
Entry in PyWeek #6 <http://www.pyweek.org/6/>
Team: PrintStar Zero
Members: PrintStar
DEPENDENCIES:
You might need to install some of these before running the game:
Python 2.5: http://www.python.org/
Note that this game makes heavy use of the sqlite3 module, which is
part of the Python 2.5 standard library. If you receive an error
complaining about the module "_sqlite3", it has not been compiled
into the runtime library.
RUNNING THE GAME:
Open a terminal / console and "cd" to the game directory and run:
python run_game.py
Double-clicking on run_game.py should work fine in Windows. This game
is a text adventure and will attempt to use curses on platforms where
available.
To force the game to start without curses (for example if your terminal
is not supported, use the following command:
python run_game.py --nocurses
Windows users have the option of downloading and running the py2exe
version. Simply click on run_game.exe to start the game.
HOW TO PLAY THE GAME:
The game operates similar to other text adventures or interactive
fiction games. There is a command prompt and some common commands that
you can type. The intrepretter understands _very_ simplistic english
commands:
n,s,e,w Move north, south, east, or west
u,d Move up or down
look Looks around you
look <n,s,e,w> Look in a given direction
get <?> Picks up an item
look at <?> Looks at whatever you want
ask <?> Ask a character about something
about <?>
talk to <?> Talk to a character
give <?> Give an item to a character
to <?>
inv Show your current inventory
save Saves your game
load Loads a saved game
quit Exits the game
Some other verbs and actions may also work. The list above is just the
most common. The best thing you can do is try. The game is not
exhaustive or comprehensive, so there might be some misunderstanding by
the interpretter.
