(REMEMBER command keyed to topics; Merlin)
|
|
A REMEMBER command which accepts any text and looks up a response in a table of recollections.
|
|
|
|
{*}"Merlin"
|
|
|
|
Understand "remember [text]" as remembering.
|
|
|
|
Remembering is an action applying to one topic.
|
|
|
|
Carry out remembering:
|
|
say "Nothing comes to mind.".
|
|
|
|
Instead of remembering a topic listed in the Table of Recollections:
|
|
say "[response entry][paragraph break]".

Topic Response

"rain/weather" "You've seen worse, but not often: it's falling so hard now that the tin rattles and the runoff, on the low side of the roof, would be a tenable source of hydroelectric power."
|
|
"hydroelectric power" or "power/hydroelectric" "It's not as though you have any sort of light bulb in here to turn on, even if you could power it."
|
|
"light bulb" or "light/bulb" "Light bulbs, like so much else, are a thing of your past. Or is it your future? Tricky, the way the world loops round on itself."
|
|
"past/time/future" "Living backwards has its drawbacks. A tendency to confuse and annoy your friends, being one; the total inability to maintain a stable relationship; and a deep dissatisfaction with most of the bodily processes people enjoy, since they ultimately make you hungrier, colder, or-- no point dwelling on it, really."
|
|
"backwards" "It's not even exactly *backwards*, now is it? It's more like a series of forwardses stuck back to back. As though someone had taken each track of a CD and put them in the exactly wrong order. You miss that. The music on demand."
|
|

|
The Inadequate Shelter is a room. "A piece of corrugated tin, leaned on two sticks, and pathetically augmented with a tire (on one side) and a cardboard box (on the side towards the wind). And that's what you've got between you and the driving rain.
|
|
|
|
At the moment rain is all you can remember, in fact."
|
|
|
|
Test me with "remember rain / remember power / remember light bulb / remember future / remember backwards". |
