Here’s **Chapter 0 – General Systems** reprinted as one piece, with: * the **`provide-contextual-hint`** phrase fixed (no illegal `decide on;`) * the **Secret Passage journal hook** corrected to trigger when the player is actually in the Secret Passage * semicolons and periods cleaned up You can paste this straight into Inform 7. ```inform7 Chapter 0 – General Systems [==================================================================] [ SECTION 0.1 – Scoring System ] [==================================================================] Use scoring. The maximum score is 100. A treasure has a number called point value. The point value of a treasure is usually 10. [------------------------- SCORE Command -------------------------] Reporting score is an action applying to nothing. Understand "score" or "points" or "check score" or "status" or "progress" as reporting score. Carry out reporting score: say "A true dwarf counts his gold--10 additional coins per found treasure.[paragraph break]"; let recovered be the score / 10; let missing be (maximum score - score) / 10; say "[bold type]Your Current Score:[roman type] [score] of [maximum score] points.[paragraph break]"; say "You have recovered [recovered] of the 10 treasures."; if missing > 0: say " Only [missing] more to reclaim your full legacy!"; else: say " You have recovered every last treasure of your line. Destiny is fully paid up."; [------------------------- Wizard Scoring Events -------------------------] To congratulate normally: say "With a thunderous [italic type]BANG[roman type], the bearded wizard appears in a swirl of smoke."; say "'Marvelous! You found another treasure -- clearly by accident, but I'll pretend it was skill,' he declares."; say "Before you can reply, he vanishes again in a blinding flash of lightning."; To congratulate finally: say "With a colossal [italic type]BANG[roman type] that rattles the walls, the wizard erupts into existence once more."; say "'Well done, Red Dwarf! You've gathered all ten treasures — miraculously on purpose this time."; say "But a final task remains: return them to the Dream Castle, or all this triumph is just decorative clutter.'"; say "He disappears in a blinding flash of lightning, leaving the air crackling with expectation."; After taking a treasure for the first time: let recovered be the score / 10; if recovered < 9: increase the score by the point value of the noun; congratulate normally; try reporting score; otherwise: increase the score by the point value of the noun; congratulate finally; try reporting score; [No automatic victory here; final ending occurs later.] [==================================================================] [ SECTION 0.2 – Journal System ] [==================================================================] The adventure journal is a thing. The adventure journal is carried by the player. The printed name of the adventure journal is "Red Dwarf's Journal". The description of the adventure journal is "A battered leather-bound journal filled with your handwriting—small, angry, and only occasionally legible. Some pages are torn, others are scorched, and one is suspiciously sticky.". The adventure journal is not portable. Instead of dropping the adventure journal: say "No chance. A true dwarf never lets go of his grudges or his paperwork.". Instead of giving the adventure journal to someone: say "If anyone wants to read your journal, they can pry it from your metaphorically cold, metaphorically dead fingers.". [------------------------- Journal Menu -------------------------] Journaling is an action applying to nothing. Understand "journal" or "read journal" or "open journal" or "notes" or "log" as journaling. Awaiting-journal-choice is a truth state that varies. Awaiting-journal-choice is false.

[------------------------- Journal Section Actions -------------------------] Journal-story is an action applying to nothing. Journal-objective is an action applying to nothing. Journal-treasures is an action applying to nothing. Journal-clues is an action applying to nothing. Journal-wizard is an action applying to nothing. Journal-notes is an action applying to nothing. Carry out journal-story: say "[bold type]What already happened:[roman type][line break][Story-summary][paragraph break]". Carry out journal-objective: say "[bold type]What I'm supposed to be doing:[roman type][line break][Objective-text][paragraph break]".
