* Printing the player's obituary
|
|
(Death message replaced; Battle of Ridgefield)
|
|
Completely replacing the endgame text and stopping the game without giving the player a chance to restart or restore.
|
|
|
|
Occasionally, a piece of IF is sufficiently serious that it feels bathetic to offer the player the usual restore-restart-undo-quit options at the end. The following would replace "*** You have died ***" with a centered epitaph, then quit the game when the player hits a key.
|
|
|
|
This example relies on a standard extension to avoid any fancy programming:
|
|
|
|
{*}"Battle of Ridgefield"
|
|
|
|
Include Basic Screen Effects by Emily Short.
|
|
|
|
Ridgefield is a room.
|
|
|
|
Instead of doing something when the turn count is greater than 1: say "Alas, you no longer have the strength."; end the story.
|
|
|
|
Rule for printing the player's obituary:
|
|
say paragraph break;
|
|
center "In defense of American Independence";
|
|
center "at the Battle of Ridgefield, April 27, 1777,";
|
|
center "died Eight Patriots who were laid in this ground,";
|
|
center "Companioned by Sixteen British Soldiers,";
|
|
center "Living, their enemies,";
|
|
center "Dying, their guests";
|
|
say paragraph break;
|
|
wait for any key;
|
|
stop game abruptly;
|
|
rule succeeds.
