Game commands

Moving around the game world

Simple commands are available for movement:

  • north
  • south
  • east
  • west
  • up
  • down

Speaking

To say something, to other developers in the same room, use the Ruby string literal

"Hello World" 

Or you can use ‘say’, but you might confuse the IRB interpreter

say Hello World

Everything you say to a room, is immediately visible to other programmers within the same room. If you want privacy, move to an empty room

Sharing Code

Simply write your code, using the interactive Ruby console, for example:

a = "Apple" 

The variable ‘a’ is immediately shared and accessible to any programmer within the game world.

Looking around

Just type ‘look’

Finding exits to another room

Type in ‘exits’
