Digging Composition 5

[slide 9]

On a LamdaCore MOO, "The Anchorhold" would look something like this if no further description was added to the room:

The Anchorhold
The main room of this anchorhold, while small by modern standards, is as spacious as all but the largest of dorm rooms.

You see north window, east window, west window, fireplace, table, cat, book here.

[slide 10]

If we take the @integrate_room messages and add them to the room’s description, "The Anchorhold" would look something like this:

The Anchorhold
The main room of this anchorhold, while small by modern standards, is as spacious as all but the largest of dorm rooms. In the northeastern corner are two shuttered windows, one opening to the north and one opening to the east. There is also a shuttered window in the west wall. A stone fireplace stands in the center of the east wall. A table with benches stands in the southwest corner of the room. Curled up on the hearth is a gray cat. A leather bound book lies on the table.

You see north window, east window, west window, fireplace, table, cat, book here.

As you can see, while you can add such detailed information to a LambdaCore MOO room, it results in a doubling up. Visitors are told such objects exist in the description and then again at the end. On a JHCore MOO, objects' descriptions are either integrated into the room description via @integrate_room or the MOO the default "You see....here." message at the end.
