Chapter 1 - Rules

Section 1(a) - Substance

[via http://inform7.com/learn/eg/rota/source.html]
A material is a kind of value. 
The materials are stone, crystal, glass, wood, paper, bronze, copper, tin, silver, lead, iron, steel, dirt, sand, clay, flesh, bone, leather, cotton, sustenance and air. 

A thing has a material. Things are usually stone. People are usually flesh. 

Substance relates a thing (called the item) to a material (called the stuff) when the material of the item is the stuff. 
The verb to be made of implies the substance relation.


[need to figure out better conditional form for this]
Definition: A thing is metallic if it is made of bronze or it is made of copper or it is made of tin or it is made of silver or it is made of iron or it is made of steel.

A thing can be constructed or elemental. Things are usually elemental.

Understand the material property as describing a thing when the item described is constructed.

Before printing the name of a constructed thing(called W):
	Say "[the material of W] ".

Section 1(b) - Dice

[via http://inform7.com/learn/eg/rota/source.html]

A die roll is a kind of value. 3d20+9 specifies a die roll with parts dice, sides (without leading zeros), adds (without leading zeros, optional, preamble optional).

To decide which number is roll of (dr - a die roll):
	let the total be the adds part of dr;
	say "[dr]: ";
	repeat with counter running from 1 to the dice part of dr:
		let the roll be a random number from 1 to the sides part of dr;
		unless the counter is 1, say ",";
		say the roll;
		increase the total by the roll;
	if the adds part of dr is 0 and the dice part of dr is 1, decide on the total;
	if the adds part of dr is not 0, say "+", adds part of dr;
	say "=", total;
	decide on the total.

Test rolling is an action out of world applying to one die roll. Understand "dice [die roll]" as test rolling. Carry out test rolling: say "For your own amusement, you roll "; let the total thrown be the roll of the die roll understood; say ", making [total thrown in words]."

Section 2(a) - Inventory



Instead of taking inventory:
	Let EQ be the list of things worn by the actor;
	Say "Equipment: [line break]";
	Repeat with I running through EQ:
		Say "    [I]";
		If I is a container(called H):
			Say ":[line break]";
			Let HS be the list of things contained by H;
			Repeat with II running through HS:
				Say "        [II][line break]";
		Else: 
			Say "[line break]";
	Let INV be the list of unworn things held by the actor;
	Say "Inventory: [line break]";
	Repeat with I running through INV:
		Say "    [I][line break]".
