Version 1.3.6: final in-comp version
This is a relatively small and noncritical update. It will almost certainly be the last one during the comp, barring a disaster. There were a few straggling issues I just decided to nail down. There were two bugs from 1.3.5, where I tried X ADJECTIVE as well as X NOUN, and I figured how to make it so you can think of but not access the chimes when you're in the house.
I also was able to sit down and programmer-test the tutorial so the player can't do anything out of order, and if they do the game says "Good idea but not yet."
And of course when you try to do things a little different each time you engineer-test, you find something like the final change: WORD1 or WORD2 gives "One of those words" but technically there's only one word. So I figured, why not nail that down. It feels like a good last bug to.
--X MASTER bug (imperfect 1.3.5 implementation) fixed
--re-added synonyms for bonus point (east hub northeast, regression from 1.3.5)
--can now X CHIMES in My House, with different description than in gravel trail
--tutorial is now more on rails, so you can't do step 5 before step 2, for instance
--can go IN and OUT of My House
--OUT goes to Plain Base once all 7 spokes and hill are solved. Otherwise, it's flagged as ambiguous
--different "halfway there" message if the right answer is, say, WORD1 WORD2 and you only type WORD1 or WORD2
--(under the hood) implementing zones (location collections) allowed for more readable code (e.g. zone_west_hub = 7 west spokes)
--(under the hood) Big Runes merged into one item I now juggle between West and East as you move there, with conditional text on X RUNES depending on where you are
