(Case change for text produced by to say phrases; Rocket Man)
|
|
Using case changes on any text produced by a "to say..." phrase.
|
|
|
|
We can now change the case of any text produced by a "to say..." phrase. This is often useful when we would like to make use of a standard say phrase in some new context. Say, for instance, that we would like to "[is-are the list...]" in a context that needs the first letter to be capitalized.
|
|
|
|
We could write a new say phrase, such as "to say is-are the list of (N - a description of objects) in sentence capitalization"; but there is an easier way, and that is to set a text variable to the output of the to say phrase, and then print that text in the case of our choice.

|
For example:
|
|
|
|
{*}"Rocket Man"
|
|
|
|
Instead of going somewhere from the spaceport when the player carries something:
|
|
let N be "[is-are the list of things carried by the player] really suitable gear to take to the moon?" in sentence case;
|
|
say "[N][paragraph break]".
|
|
|
|
The Spaceport is a room. North of the Spaceport is the Rocket Launch Pad. The player carries a stuffed bear, a chocolate cookie, and a book.
|
|
|
|
The description of the book is "It is entitled [italic type]Why Not To Take [sentence cased inventory] To The Moon[roman type]."
|
|
|
|
To say sentence cased inventory:
|
|
let N be "[a list of things carried by the player]" in title case;
|
|
say "[N]".

|
|
Test me with "n / x book". |
