"A Conversation"

Sunrise is a scene. Sunrise begins when play begins. Sunrise ends well when player is early. Sunrise ends poorly when player is late. 

When Sunrise ends, say "Sunrise has ended"

The Bedroom is a room. "you wake up tired and groggy. The Kitchen is south of here."

A person can be early or late. The Player is early.

A night stand is here. "Next to your bed is the night stand with your alarm on it." 

The alarm is a switched on device in the Bedroom. "[if  switched on]BEEP...BEEP...BEEP... (hit snooze or turn off alarm)[otherwise]You finally silenced your alarm clock."

Understand "turn off [something switched on]" as switching off.

Snoozing is an action applying to nothing.

Understand "hit snooze" or "snooze" as snoozing.

Condition is a switched off device.

Carry out snoozing:
	if alarm is switched on:
		now the player is late;
		say "You lean over, tap that big, beautiful snooze button only t0 wake up 9 minutes later just as groggy.  BEEP...BEEP...BEEP... ";
	otherwise:
		say "Now that you're awake, why don't you head south to the kitchen?".

The Kitchen is a room. The Kitchen is south of the Bedroom. "You enter the kitchen to find your mother working on something."

Pleasant Breakfast is a scene. Pleasant Breakfast begins when Sunrise ends well. Pleasant Breakfast ends when the Mother is quiet.

When Pleasant Breakfast begins, say "Pleasant Breakfast :)"

Dull Breakfast is a scene. Dull Breakfast begins when Sunrise ends poorly.  Dull Breakfast ends when the Mother is quiet.

When Dull Breakfast begins, say "Dull Breakfast :("

Mother is a woman in the kitchen. A person can be talkative or quiet. Mother is talkative.

Understand "talk to [someone]" as attacking.

Instead of attacking Mother:
	now Mother is quiet;
	if Sunrise ended poorly:
		say "Your mother glances up from the magazine she is reading, 'You finally got up. It's about time. I was gonna make you breakfast earlier but you weren't here. Your loss.'";
	if Sunrise ended well:
		say "Your mother smiles, saying 'I'm glad you were able to get out of bed this morning. You must have some new game you're getting ready to play. Oh, well. Here you go.' and she hands you the steaming breakfast.

'What's your plan for the day? Play some videogames?' she says apathetically"

When Pleasant Breakfast ends:
	remove Mother from play;
	say "After a hearty breakfast, you're ready to take on the challenges of any game your way. Let's head east and get some gaming on.";
	now the command prompt is "after exploring Kitchen, go east >"

When Dull Breakfast ends:
	remove Mother from play;
	say "After finishing her coffee, your mother gets up and leaves.";
	now the command prompt is "after exploring Kitchen, go east >"
