Discussion of Extension to the '.' notation to allow multiple keywords

Started by Morgenes, March 25, 2009, 02:58:34 PM


A possible extension: add the ability to EXCLUDE keywords from the match.

   > kill beetle.-war   (attack the first beetle that ain't somebody's mount)
   > spit rugged.one-eyed.-templar  (spit on the first rugged, piratical commoner)

I know, Morgenes, I'm an ungrateful, never-satisfied git.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

I'd just like to reaffirm the double.plus.good status of this addition.

It takes a little getting used to (mainly to get over the laziness of fishing for a single unique keyword identifier), but once you start defaulting to multiple keywords, it's flippin' awesome.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

You can just "put coins pack." This modification went in some time ago.

Last time I tried, you still could not "put coin pack,"  if you happened to only have one coin in your inventory.  I had to do "put 1 coins pack," as "put coins pack" turned up nothing to match the keyword.

That is pretty awesome. A beetle walked in on me the other day and I was like "shit..keyword...not beetle...uh...not huge....shit....BLACK...kill BLACK!"

Good thing there was no blackhaired man.

Thank God for the stop command. 
Kill beetle
think WAIT! NO DON'T!
stop
1 command purged.
think Phew.

The rugged, white-eyed man exclaims, in southern-accented sirihish,
  "Not mah mount!"
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

The stubble-bearded, one-eyed man exclaims, in sirihish:
                             "Down, Spunky!  Down!  Tek, not 'gain!"
