Below is a transcript of three games written for the Spring Speed IF, written by Juhana Leinonen, Roger Carbol, and Michael C. Martin, respectively.These games were written based on the following premise: Ah, spring. Flowers blossom, allergies resurface. The world awakes, and so does Speed IF. Club Floyd, consuming games insatiably, is looking for some games. Your games should be short and enjoyable (of course), and spring themed in any way you could think of. Incorporation of resurrection would be nice (though don't tell Marvin.)You can learn more about these games, including how to download them, by visiting the ifWiki. Once the group was done with the Spring Speed IF games, they had some more time to kill, and decided to also tackle Cheater by Wesley Osam. Cheater was originally released in 1996. You can learn more about Cheater, including how to download it, by visiting Baf's Guide. If you'd like to skip to a particular game in the transcript, you can click on the individual title: |

| McMartin says, "And once again, circumstances conspire to keep me away as it starts. Oh well. I should be back before it ends, and at least I'll have backscroll" | ||||
| DavidW arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Taleslinger says (to mcmartin), "I think Floyd has recap." | |||
| DavidW hollers, "ClubFloyd starts very very soon! In the toyshop!" | ||||
| Jaybird arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | ||||
| Jaybird says (to Floyd), "pinch me" | ||||
| Floyd says (to Jaybird), "Floyd doesn't know that trick." | DavidW says, "Jacqueline was sorry she couldn't be here today. Blame her service provider." | |||
| DavidW asks, "We'll be playing three games from the recent Speed-IF. Taleslinger, would you like to tell say something here?" | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "Well, I was messing around with the idea of a Speed IF for Clubfloyd for a while." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "The first idea was to have a list of things It should include. I thought that was the usual way. Then Jacq told me that 'Spring'-themed would be enough." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "I am quite keen to see what the people came up with. Games are by Roger, McMartin and nitku." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "And now back to our host, DavidW." | ||||
| DavidW asks, "The game codes are 'gardening', 'springcleaning', and 'exterminate'. Any preference for which to start with? Or just play them in that order?" | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "I think that order will be fine." | ||||
| DavidW says, "gardening going once..." | ||||
| DavidW says, "gardening going twice..." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "load gardening" | ||||
Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | In April, three months after you bought the house, the snow finally Floyd | melts and for the first time you see how your new garden really looks Floyd | like. It's not that bad, actually; you probably don't need to do much Floyd | to make it look really nice. Armed with a to-do list and an upbeat Floyd | attitude you go to work. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Gardening for Beginners Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Juhana Leinonen Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 080328 / Inform 7 build 5J39 (I6/v6.31 lib Floyd | 6/11N) Floyd | This game is free software. See LICENSE for details. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The garden is such a nice little patch of green for a novice gardener Floyd | like yourself. There's even a small fish pond. Flowers are already in Floyd | full bloom in the flower bed and there's an empty patch ready for Floyd | vegetables. The grass looks a bit dry. Floyd | Floyd | There's also an old garden shed with a yard hydrant installed next to Floyd | it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "drink from pond" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x pond" | ||||
Floyd | The pond is small but very beautiful.. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "look in pond" | ||||
Floyd | You find nothing of interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "drink pond" | ||||
Floyd | No water, no thank you. No, fish make love in it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You're carrying a to-do list, a gold fish in a plastic bag, and some Floyd | tomato seeds. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger asks (of nitku), "Do we have to worry about dying?" | |||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "kill self" | ||||
Floyd | Violence isn't the answer to this one. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "xyzzy" | ||||
Floyd | Maybe in some fantastic realm a garden would take care of itself with Floyd | appropriately chosen magic words. Unfortunately this is not one of Floyd | those realms. Floyd | Floyd | > | Nitku says, "No, and no deadlocks either" | |||
| Jaybird says (to Floyd), "read list" | ||||
Floyd | It's a list of things that are easy to do to get you started: Floyd | Floyd | - Remove weeds from the flower bed Floyd | - Plant the tomatoes Floyd | - Put the fish in the pond Floyd | - Water the lawn Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I think the gold fish ought to be more worried about dying." | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x flower bed" | ||||
Floyd | The flowers are petunias and poppies, you guess. At the moment there Floyd | seem to be much more weeds than flowers in the flower bed. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "kill weed" | ||||
Floyd | Violence isn't the answer to this one. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put fish in pond" | ||||
Floyd | The fish leaps from the plastic bag into the pond and starts to swim Floyd | around in circles. In the spur of the moment you decide to name it Floyd | "Wensleydale". Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "kill fish" | ||||
Floyd | You wouldn't want to harm the little fellow! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x list" | ||||
Floyd | It's a list of things that are easy to do to get you started: Floyd | Floyd | - Remove weeds from the flower bed Floyd | - Plant the tomatoes Floyd | - Put the fish in the pond (done!) Floyd | - Water the lawn Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "get weeds" | ||||
Floyd | You get on your knees and pull each weed carefully out around the Floyd | flowers. It takes a good thirty minutes, but the result looks really Floyd | nice. Never mind the aching fingers. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x list" | ||||
Floyd | It's a list of things that are easy to do to get you started: Floyd | Floyd | - Remove weeds from the flower bed (done!) Floyd | - Plant the tomatoes Floyd | - Put the fish in the pond (done!) Floyd | - Water the lawn Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "smoke weeds" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x weeds" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "plant tomatos" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "plant seeds" | ||||
Floyd | You throw the tomato seeds evenly on the vegetable patch and spread Floyd | some soil over them. That was easy. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "x list" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x list" | ||||
Floyd | It's a list of things that are easy to do to get you started: Floyd | Floyd | - Remove weeds from the flower bed (done!) Floyd | - Plant the tomatoes (done!) Floyd | - Put the fish in the pond (done!) Floyd | - Water the lawn Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x hydrant" | ||||
Floyd | It's basically a pipe with a valve on it. The mouth part has a Floyd | connection where a hose can be attached. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "open valve" | ||||
Floyd | You turn the valve and let some water pour out before you turn it off Floyd | again. Looks like it works. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I didn't see the hydrant." | |||
| Taleslinger says, "I think we need a hose." | ||||
| DavidW says, "oh. And a shed." | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "l" | ||||
Floyd | The garden is such a nice little patch of green for a novice gardener Floyd | like yourself. There's even a small fish pond where Wensleydale is Floyd | splashing around. Flowers are already in full bloom in the flower bed Floyd | - now without any weeds - and the tomatoes are growing in the Floyd | vegetable patch. The grass looks a bit dry. Floyd | Floyd | There's also an old garden shed with a yard hydrant installed next to Floyd | it. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Bet there's a hose in there." | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "open shed" | ||||
Floyd | Let's not make things too hard, eh? Just GO INSIDE. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "go inside" | ||||
Floyd | You go inside the garden shed. Floyd | Floyd | It's a delightful little shed even though it has seen better days. Floyd | Wear and tear just adds to the charm. The walls have been plastered Floyd | with newspapers and there are several boxes full of miscellaneous Floyd | junk. Floyd | Floyd | An orange garden hose is hanging from a holder in the wall. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x newspapers" | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take hose" | ||||
Floyd | On closer inspection it's not newspaper after all but pages torn from Floyd | books. From Jack Mills pocket books, to be precise. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says (to nitku), "He he he" | |||
| DavidW says, "I just knew there had to be a joke in there." | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "read newspapers" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x pages" | ||||
Floyd | The wallpaper seems to be made from pulp detective novels. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "read pages" | ||||
Floyd | "The slammer was a depressing mixture of displeasing white and Floyd | uncaring gray. I walked past the empty cells listening to the steady Floyd | click-clack of my steps echoing from the walls. In the last cell I Floyd | found Professor Humphrey..." Floyd | Floyd | No wonder someone wanted to plaster it on the walls. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x junk" | ||||
Floyd | The boxes are full of various junk, some related to gardening and some Floyd | not. None of them are originally yours, the previous owner left them Floyd | here for you to take care of. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "search junk" | ||||
Floyd | It's just junk you don't need, at least not at this very moment. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "burn junk" | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "out" | ||||
Floyd | This dangerous act would achieve little. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | You return to the garden. Floyd | Floyd | The garden is such a nice little patch of green for a novice gardener Floyd | like yourself. There's even a small fish pond where Wensleydale is Floyd | splashing around. Flowers are already in full bloom in the flower bed Floyd | - now without any weeds - and the tomatoes are growing in the Floyd | vegetable patch. The grass looks a bit dry. Floyd | Floyd | There's also an old garden shed with a yard hydrant installed next to Floyd | it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "attach hose to hydrant" | ||||
Floyd | With some effort you screw the other end of the hose to the hydrant. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "open valve" | ||||
Floyd | You carefully hose the entire lawn and turn the water off when you're Floyd | done. In your eyes the grass is already looking much greener! Floyd | Floyd | Well, that was the last chore and everything is now done! Looks like Floyd | you are better at this than you even imagined! Floyd | Floyd | No, wait, what's that mound right in the middle of the garden? Ugh, Floyd | it's a molehill. Better hose the bugger out while you're at it before Floyd | the entire garden gets full of those. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "make mountain" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "I knew there was catch!" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x molehill" | ||||
Floyd | It's a small pile of dirt. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "hose molehill" | ||||
Floyd | It wouldn't help just to wash the mound away. You need to flood the Floyd | tunnels. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "put hose in molehill" | ||||
Floyd | You tuck the end of the hose inside the mole hill. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "open valve" | ||||
Floyd | You approach the hydrant and see a little cuddly bunny by the shed. Floyd | "Oh, how delightful!" you exclaim. The bunny scurries away. Floyd | Floyd | You turn the valve and a spray of water from the hose soaks you Floyd | through. You cut the water quickly. The bunny must've had a taste of Floyd | the hose. Floyd | Floyd | Bother. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x list" | ||||
Floyd | It's a list of things that are easy to do to get you started: Floyd | Floyd | - Remove weeds from the flower bed (done!) Floyd | - Plant the tomatoes (done!) Floyd | - Put the fish in the pond (done!) Floyd | - Water the lawn (done!) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bunny" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says, "BUNNY'D" | Taleslinger says, "I'm faintly remember another gardening game that had a fiendish bunny." | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x hose" | ||||
Floyd | It's quite long and... orange. Floyd | Floyd | > | McMartin says, "Bunnies are Evil" | |||
| McMartin says, "It's the rule." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Yes, there was one. I never defeated it." | ||||
| Gunther arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Taleslinger asks, "Workshed?" | |||
| McMartin asks, "Look for duct tape or something?" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "So what now? Put the hose away and win?" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x molehill" | ||||
Floyd | It's a small pile of dirt. The other end of the hose is tucked inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | McMartin says, "We haven't hosed out the molehill" | |||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "in" | ||||
Floyd | You go inside the garden shed again. Floyd | Floyd | The shed is in poor shape, but it's your own little shed. The walls Floyd | have been plastered with pages from books and there are several boxes Floyd | full of miscellaneous junk. Floyd | Floyd | Now let's see... There, right on top of a box, is a roll of silvery Floyd | duct tape. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take tape" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "wha?" | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "out" | ||||
Floyd | You return to the garden. Floyd | Floyd | The garden is a tiny patch of green where Wensleydale is splashing Floyd | around in the pond and the flowers are in full bloom in the flower Floyd | bed. The tomato seeds have been planted in the vegetable patch. Floyd | Floyd | The old garden shed has a yard hydrant installed next to it. The Floyd | garden hose is attached to the hydrant and the other end is tucked Floyd | inside the molehill. Floyd | Floyd | A lonely crow lands on the vegetable patch. It pecks around the soil Floyd | for a bit, then two others arrive. They start digging and eating the Floyd | tomato seeds. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey! Get out of there, you little pests!" you scream but the birds Floyd | ignore you. Floyd | Floyd | Bother. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "scare crows" | ||||
Floyd | You approach the vegetable patch and the crows fly off. They return Floyd | right after you've moved two paces away. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "He he he." | |||
| DavidW asks, "What's the tape for?" | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "patch hose" | ||||
Floyd | You roll a few layers of tape arond the leaking spot. It looks like it Floyd | could hold now. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "hose birds" | ||||
Floyd | It doesn't need watering. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh. I missed that too." | |||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "open valve" | ||||
Floyd | You turn the valve and water starts to flow underground. You decide to Floyd | leave it on for a while, just to be sure. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "hose crows" | ||||
Floyd | It doesn't need watering. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "You could build a scarecrow, I guess." | |||
| McMartin says, "Hopefully this will get rid of the mole." | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "z" | ||||
Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "kill crows" | ||||
Floyd | You approach the vegetable patch and the crows fly off. They return Floyd | right after you've moved two paces away. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tape" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x molehill" | ||||
Floyd | It's a small pile of dirt. The other end of the hose is tucked inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "pull hose" | ||||
Floyd | You are unable to. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take hose" | ||||
Floyd | You're carrying a to-do list. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | It should stay until the mole is thoroughly hosed out. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "in" | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), " z" | ||||
Floyd | You go inside the garden shed again. Floyd | Floyd | The shed is in poor shape, but it's your own little shed. The walls Floyd | have been plastered with pages from books and there are several boxes Floyd | full of miscellaneous junk. Floyd | Floyd | Let's see... Yes, there should be something useful here for this Floyd | situation. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a coverall and a rake here. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||||
Floyd | coverall: Taken. Floyd | rake: Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "out" | ||||
Floyd | You return to the garden. Floyd | Floyd | The garden is a tiny patch of green where Wensleydale is splashing Floyd | around in the pond and the flowers are in full bloom in the flower Floyd | bed. The tomato seeds have been planted in the vegetable patch. Floyd | Floyd | The old garden shed has a yard hydrant installed next to it. The Floyd | garden hose is attached to the hydrant and the other end is tucked Floyd | inside the molehill. Floyd | Floyd | Some crows are eating away the tomato seeds you just planted. Floyd | Floyd | What the... The weeds have resurrected themselves and fill the flower Floyd | bed again! Floyd | Floyd | Goddamnit. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "x coverall" | ||||
Floyd | It's a smallish dark green coverall. It has seen a lot of use. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "put coverall on rake" | ||||
Floyd | You put the rake inside the coverall to support it and you have Floyd | yourself a makeshift scarecrow. Hopefully it works. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "out" | ||||
Floyd | But you aren't in anything at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "put scarecrow in bed" | ||||
Floyd | That can't contain things. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "pray" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put scarecrow in patch" | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "drop scarecrow" | ||||
Floyd | You stick the scarecrow in the middle of the vegetable patch. The Floyd | crows fly away and - they aren't returning! Hooray! Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | The scarecrow is already here. Floyd | | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "place scarecrow" | ||||
Floyd | > Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take weeds" | ||||
Floyd | You pull one weed out and sigh. This is never going to work without Floyd | heavier armament. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "rake weedsa" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "rake weeds" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You're carrying a to-do list. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "we used the rake already." | |||
| McMartin says, "We made the rake into a scarecrow" | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "in" | ||||
Floyd | You go inside the garden shed again. Floyd | Floyd | The shed is in poor shape, but it's your own little shed. The walls Floyd | have been plastered with pages from books and there are several boxes Floyd | full of miscellaneous junk. Floyd | Floyd | There in the corner is a bright red bottle of herbicide with a skull Floyd | printed on it. Excellent. Floyd | Floyd | > | McMartin exclaims, "Yay! Death!" | |||
| DavidW says, "Magical shed." | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take herbicide" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "drink herbicide" | ||||
Floyd | Yes, that would probably be a good way to get rid of unwanted Floyd | intestines. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "read it" | ||||
Floyd | "Do not consume. Extremely corrosive. Blah blah blah." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "eat herbicide" | ||||
Floyd | Yes, that would probably be a good way to get rid of unwanted Floyd | intestines. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "out" | ||||
Floyd | You return to the garden. Floyd | Floyd | The garden is a tiny patch of green where Wensleydale is splashing Floyd | around in the pond and the flowers are in full bloom in the flower Floyd | bed. The tomato seeds have been planted in the vegetable patch. Floyd | Floyd | The old garden shed has a yard hydrant installed next to it. The Floyd | garden hose is attached to the hydrant and the other end is tucked Floyd | inside the molehill. Floyd | Floyd | You hear Wensleydale splash about in the pond. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "pour herbicide on weed" | ||||
Floyd | (the weeds) Floyd | You pop the cap from the weedkiller that greets you with a gust of Floyd | poisonous fumes. "Ha! Ha! HA! HAHA! HA!" you scream as you pour the Floyd | stuff on those demonic parasites. Let's see them come back to life Floyd | now! Floyd | Floyd | The weeds die spectacularly, whithering as soon as the herbicide hits Floyd | them. War is not without casualities, as you soon find out - the Floyd | flowers can't take the heat and they turn into shriveled mounds of Floyd | organic mass. Floyd | Floyd | You look at the flower bed and muse your Pyrrhic victory. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE." | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says (to nitku), "No Deadlocks? Good. :-)" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x flowers" | ||||
Floyd | The flowers are petunias and poppies, you guess. Floyd | Floyd | Wensleydale splashes the water again, a bit louder this time. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x pond" | ||||
Floyd | Hngaah! It's not Wensleydale that's splashing but the neighbour's cat Floyd | who's trying to catch him! Shoo, cat, shoo! Floyd | Floyd | F%#?! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take cat" | ||||
Floyd | "Here, pus pus pus..." Floyd | Floyd | You approach the cat, trying to grab it to carry it away from the Floyd | pond. She sees you approaching, hisses, and makes a daring leap Floyd | towards you. Floyd | Floyd | She lands straight on your face and takes hold with all four legs. The Floyd | beast drives its claws in the neck and the back of your head. "Mmmph Floyd | hmmh mph!" you swear. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "give kitten 10" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "pet cat" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "throw cat" | ||||
Floyd | You would, but mouse-breath is still facehugging you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "headbutt cat" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "hit cat" | ||||
Floyd | You wave your arms in the general direction of your face (where the Floyd | cat is), but it just makes the furry assailant to grab a tighter hold. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take cat" | ||||
Floyd | Technically, you already have her. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "dive in pond" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | McMartin exclaims, "Eating kitties is wrong!" | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "go inside" | ||||
Floyd | How? The feline abdomination has blindfolded you with her own furry Floyd | body. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "eat cat" | ||||
Floyd | You would, but mouse-breath is still facehugging you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "kiss cat" | ||||
Floyd | "NO!" the cat yells and claws at your right ear. (It might've also Floyd | been "meow".) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "talk cat out of it" | ||||
Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to Floyd), "swim" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "tickle cat" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "blow on cat" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||||
Floyd | "Meow," the cat says as you struggle to get free. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||||
Floyd | "Mhbh!" you exclaim when your attempts are buggered by the blinding Floyd | grasp of the beast. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||||
Floyd | You stumble and nearly lose balance when the cat scratches you again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "punch face" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| McMartin says (to floyd), "drink pond" | ||||
Floyd | No water, no thank you. No, fish make love in it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You take a good grip of the little bastard and yank her out of your Floyd | face. Her final loot is a bunch of hair and a good amount of freshly Floyd | scraped skin. The cat jumps on the ground and runs off. Floyd | Floyd | You glance at the vegetable patch where the crows are back, with a Floyd | couple of friends of theirs.

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Note: Before playing this game, you should type in the command "info" Floyd | for an introduction. If you get stuck, a hint is provided by the Floyd | command "arrrgh". That's three r's. Thank you. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | It is the year 2753. You are engaged in a contest, a race across Floyd | the galaxy to acquire the Toaster of Battle Creek Michigan (the last Floyd | functioning toaster in the known universe, and therefore extremely Floyd | valuable.) Floyd | Floyd | You like to win. To ensure your success in this competition, you Floyd | sabotaged the starships of the other participants. Now you alone (or Floyd | at least you and your faithful assistant Walter) have discovered the Floyd | cavern of the Toaster. Gloatingly, you ordered Walter to lower you Floyd | into the cave... Floyd | Floyd | But your rope snapped, and now you're trapped here - perhaps Floyd | forever... Floyd | Floyd | CHEATER Floyd | An Annoying Adventure Floyd | Copyright (c) 1996 by Wesley Osam.

Floyd | As I mentioned in the "info" text, this game isn't a traditional Floyd | interactive fiction puzzle. Specifically, you can only win by Floyd | thinking like the main character and cheating. Remember that really Floyd | odd paragraph stating my eternal gratitude for the debugging verbs? Floyd | I'm not actually that anal retentive; it was a hint. If you look at Floyd | the version listing, you'll notice the "D" that denotes that those Floyd | debugging verbs are active. Experiment with the ones I listed to find Floyd | out what they do. Once you've done that, the rest is simple. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I sorta wanted you to type 'info' first." | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "info" | ||||
Floyd | This is the first game I've written, and it's a bit basic. To add Floyd | interest, I've made it a "lateral thinking" puzzle rather than a Floyd | traditional interactive fiction game. (It's a bit like "Undo." If you Floyd | didn't like that one, you should flee screaming into the night now.) Floyd | Floyd | [9]Inform has turned out to be a really great language, now that I've Floyd | figured out how to make it work on the Macintosh. I'm especially Floyd | grateful for the debugging verbs (such as gonear and purloin), and the Floyd | neat way that the program reminds you they're on with the "D" in the Floyd | version listing. I've found them quite useful, and I'm sure you would Floyd | too. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The famous Toaster of Battle Creek is really just an ordinary toaster, Floyd | probably built in the 1950s. What makes it special is that it is the Floyd | only one still known to exist. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
