[status line and summary]
When play begins:
	now left hand status line is "[location]";
	now right hand status line is "Exits:[exit list]";
	say "You're practically ripping out your hair from stress.  Today is the date of the school dance, which you still don't have a date for.  To make matters worse, there's the major chemistry exam worth 40% of your grade that you haven't studied for yet.  On top of that, you're already late for school.  Oh, yeah, and you're locked in the basement."

To say exit list:
	let place be location;
	repeat with way running through directions:
		let place be the room way from the location;
		if place is a room, say " [way]".
		
[This deals with the donut mechanics.  I had to patch a lot of bugs because I was having trouble getting the donuts to stack.  There is still a glitch where the game says (first taking the donut) before you eat or give the donut, but it is minor, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I just left it]
Instead of taking inventory:
	say "You're carrying [a list of things carried by the player][if donutcount is one] and a donut[end if][if donutcount is greater than one] and [donutcount] donuts[end if][if the player wears something].[line break]You are wearing [a list of things worn by the player][end if]."
	
[Take all disability]
Rule for deciding whether all includes something:
	stop.
	
Rule for printing a parser error when the latest parser error is the nothing to do error:
	say "What do you mean, 'all'?" instead.
	
[Verb synonym]
Understand "pick [something]" as taking.

Understand "upstairs" as up.

Understand "downstairs" as down.

Understand "lick [something]" as tasting.
	
[Player description changes based on where you are in the game and what you are wearing]
The description of the player is "You are a sixteen-year-old with dark hair and dark eyes[if Jane is in the dance and the teacher is jolly] and a huge smile on your face[end if].[if the player is wearing the backpack]  You have a heavy-looking backpack on your back."

[This is the donut code.  Since you can theoretically have infinite donuts, it was tricky to get them examinable, edible, etc.]
The donut is a thing.  It is scenery.  Understand "pastry" or "chocolate donut" as donut.

Instead of examining the donut:
	if donutcount is greater than 0:
		say "A good-looking chocolate-covered donut.  Yum!";

		say "You devour the donut in no time.  Delicious!";
		decrease donutcount by 1;
	otherwise:

Instead of giving the donut to Jane:
	if donutcount is greater than 0:
		if Jane is in the computer lab:
			say "You hand a donut to Jane.[line break]'Thanksâ€¦' she says.";
		otherwise:
			say "You give Jane a donut.[line break]Her friend looks at you.  'Why can't I have a boyfriend who brings donuts?!' she cries angrily.  'Why.  Can't.  I.  Be.  You?!'[line break]She punches Jane in the face and grabs you.  'You're mine, now,' she mutters.  She runs off with you, and no one ever sees you again.";
			end the story finally;
		decrease donutcount by 1;
	otherwise:
		say "There is no such thing here.  You must be hallucinating.".
		
Instead of showing the donut to Jane:
	if donutcount is greater than 0:
		if Jane is in the computer lab:
			say "You wave a donut in front of her nose.  She cautiously pushes your hand away.";
		otherwise:
			say "You show Jane a donut.[line break]'That's nice,' she says.";
	otherwise:
		say "There is no such thing here.  You must be hallucinating.".
		
[This is actually the solution to one of the final puzzles]
Instead of giving the donut to the Guard:
	if donutcount is greater than 0:
		say "You pull out a donut and hand it to him.  His eyes widen.[line break]'You can only have it if you let me in,' you say alluringly.[line break]'Deal!' he exclaims without hesitation.  'They're only paying me fifty bucks, anyway.'[line break][line break]The guard steps aside to let you through.";
		decrease donutcount by 1;
		remove the guard from play;
	otherwise:
		say "There is no such thing here.  You must be hallucinating.".
		
Instead of showing the donut to the Guard:
	if donutcount is greater than 0:
		say "You pull out a donut and wave it in front of his face.  His eyes widen.[line break]'You can only have it if you let me in,' you say alluringly.[line break]'Deal!' he exclaims without hesitation as he snatches the donut.  'They're only paying me fifty bucks, anyway.'[line break][line break]The guard steps aside to let you through.";

[Rain spell writing mechanics]
Writeraining is an action applying to nothing.

	now the rainspell of the spell book is raintrue.
			
[Rain spell mechanics]
Castraining is an action applying to nothing.  Understand "CDEEE" or "play CDEEE" or "play CDEEE on flute" as castraining.

[Raininess is what I use to keep track of if it is raining or not]
Things can be rainy or unrainy.  Things are usually unrainy.
		
Instead of castraining:
	say "You play the tune you heard the hooded man whistling on your flute.[if the flute is rainy]Nothing happens.  The rain will probably stop on it's own.[otherwise]A sudden downpour comes down, soaking everyone in the quad.[end if][if Jane is in the computer lab and the flute is unrainy and the player is in the computer lab][line break]It worked!  Jane stopped.  She seems to be waiting to see if the rain will stop.";

He has everyone sit in the corner for the rest of class.  At least you're not failing![line break]By the time you get out of class, the sun is touching the horizon in the west.

	if the rainspell of the book is rainfalse:

[This makes the rain stop itself, but not the same turn you cast the spell]
An every turn rule:

[Computer lab room and scenery]
The Computer Lab is west of the quad.  "The computer lab is a small, square-shaped room with rows of desks facing the northern wall.  Each desk has a computer on it."

A thing can be beforecs or aftercs. A thing is usually beforecs.

[This skips the computer science class, since it is uneventful, but it still needs to happen]
Instead of going to the computer lab:

The desks are things in the computer lab.  Understand "desk" as desks.  Understand "table" or "tables" as desks.  They are scenery.  They are supporters.  The description is "The desks are made of rectangular pieces of wood, with thin metal legs."

The legs are things in the computer lab.  They are scenery.  The description is "The legs are made of several pieces of metal, and are covered in rust."

The rust is a thing in the computer lab.  It is scenery.  The description is "It's just rust."

The computers are things on the desks.  They are scenery.  Understand "computer" as computers.  The description is "The computers are fairly new.  They are turned off, but you probably shouldn't turn them on without the teacher here.  They are all Banana brand computers."

[Jane is the first real NPC.  Talking to her in the computer lab triggers a dialogue tree, in which the player must avoid topics that have to do with water, since he has to use the bathroom.  Originally, it was difficult to read, so I added big line breaks after every question]
Jane is a person in the computer lab.  Understand "Janet" or "girl" or "crush" or "date" as Jane.  The description is "[if Jane is in the computer lab]Jane is by far the prettiest girl in school, she gets straight A's, and she has a ton of friends.  She's way out of your league, but that won't stop you from trying.[otherwise]Jane is wearing a pretty blue dress, and is talking to her friend on the other side of the dance."

Bladderstate is a number variable.  The bladderstate is 0.
