"clock" by zw

[This is a demonstration of a scenario that came up in class discussion today. There might be better ways to accomplish this.]

The bedroom is a room.  "You find yourself in a bedroom."
The hallway is south of the bedroom. "You have traveled into the hallway, ready to start your day."
The clock is in the bedroom. [It's just a thing.]

The description of the clock is "It's an old-fashioned numeric clock hanging on the wall above your desk. According to its archaic notion of displaying time with the position of its 'hands,' the current time is 12:46."

[This creates a property that can store a numeric value.]
The clock has a number called status. The status is 0.

[pretty self explanatory ...]
After examining the clock:
     now the status is 1.

[This was in here for testing...]
[Every turn when the status of the clock is 0:
    say "It's zero".]

Instead of going south when the status of the clock is 0, say "I should check the time first".
