I'm currently writing a computer game. It's taken me all day to get an orc to sit, sleeping, on top of a chest. I then had fun getting it to not let you open the chest while the orc is sleeping on top of it.

What are you writing it in?
I looked briefly at something called DarkBasic (I think) a few years back for writing games in but never got round to it. My day job is quite often programming so I usually can't be bothered to come home and do more of the same.

I'm using Inform. I used to use Prolog.

Yeah, but, hopefully, with images, a bit like the really old sierra games.

Yay, I can imagine it now...
Look around
- You are in a small room with a door to the north. There is a chest in the corner.
Look at chest
- The chest is large and looks like the kind that is used to store treasure. An orc sits sleeping on top.
Open chest
- The orc wakes and starts attacking you.
Attack orc
- You cannot do that.
Get out double sided battle axe
- You are holding your double sided battle axe.
Attack orc
- The orc dodges.
...

kind of, but not exactly. At the moment I haven't written what should happen if you try to kill the orc so it replies with the default "Violence is not the answer"
