When play begins:
 say "[bold type][italic type]Your annoying friend locked you in a closet at the art museum in Placeville.[paragraph break]It is now far past closing time for the museum.[paragraph break]You must escape this museum without getting caught."

Guardroom is a number variable. Guardroom is 2.
Playeroom is a number variable. Playeroom is -1.


Every turn:
 now Guardroom is Guardroom plus 1;
 if Guardroom is 8, now Guardroom is 1.


Every turn:
 if Guardroom is Playeroom minus 1, say "Footsteps come from behind.";
 if Guardroom is Playeroom plus 1, say "You hear footstep sounds ahead.";
 if Guardroom is 1 and Playeroom is -1, say "The guard is circling the third floor again." instead;
 if Guardroom is Playeroom, end the story saying "You are seen by a guard. Uh oh. He sentences you to 2 years in prison.".

Closet is a room. "[if the closet is unvisited]Your first thought is, 'How the heck will I get out of here?'[paragraph break]All that's in here is a painting of a flying snake.[end if][if the closet is visited]Why would you want to be back here?[end if]"

The flying snake painting is a closed, locked, openable door. It is scenery. It is east of the closet. The description is "An elaborate snake painting. It would take a few looks to fully comprehend it."

Instead of examining the flying snake painting for the second time:
 say "You look at the painting once more. Hey.....is that a doorknob? Is this a door?[paragraph break]You try opening it. It is! Ahead is a narrow passage to the east.";
 now the flying snake painting is open.

The West Passage is east of the flying snake painting. "This is a passage going from the center of the passages to the old closet you escaped. West is a closet, east is the center of the passages."

The Central Passage is east of the West Passage. "This is a tiny room with four passages leading east, west, north, and south."

The South Passage is south of the Central Passage. "This is a small passage leading to a door in the south. North is the center of all of the passages."

 say "You open the east door, which is actually a giant painting of a bird. You enter the John Audobon exhibit. More art exhibits are to the north and south.";
 now the east door is locked;
 now the player is in the John Audubon exhibit.

Instead of opening the south door:
 now playeroom is 4;
 say "You open the south door, which is actually a picture of rolling hills. You enter the Landscapes exhibit. More art exhibits are to the east and west.";
 now the south door is locked;
 now the player is in the Landscapes exhibit.

The Landscapes exhibit is a room. "A room filled with pictures of everything from tall mountains to dense rain forests. A bathroom is south."
