The ADRIFT 5 standard library provides a large number of pre-defined commands to perform many of the common actions that are required in an adventure game. This is a summary of the standard commands. For more detailed information, command abreviations and alternate wording, go to The Standard Library page.
The words between % symbols in the left colomb are called references, and are replaced by the name of an actual object in the game.
- %object% is the name of any static or dynamic object, eg. 'pen' or 'large red ball'. If it is in plural form (%objects%) then you can also use "All" to perform this command on all relevant objects.
- %character% is either the proper name or descriptor of a character, eg. 'john doe' or 'tall man'.
- %direction% can only be a compass direction, up, down, in or out.
- %number% can be any number.
- %text% can be anything.
The other words between % symbols in the right colomb are Functions which print the names of the objects and characters being referenced.
