Source Code

When play begins, say "This is another quick demonstration of a common situation. Here, you have one thing, picking up a brick, that is only possible if another thing, examining the brick, has already happened."

The office is a room.

The brick and the knife are in the office.

The brick can be explored or unexplored. The brick is unexplored.
[Here I'm just creating a new property, "unexplored." I think this could be called whatever you feel like -- whatever will help you remember it, so long as you're consistent.]


After examining the brick, now the brick is explored.
[This attaches that property to an existing action, "examining the brick".]

Instead of taking the brick while the brick is unexplored, say "look closely first."
[This is a double negative.  It means that when I examine the brick, that will reset it's property to "explored", and then the "taking the brick" action can proceed.]
