It might or might not fall flat on its face.

Here is the start of 'Hunt the Wumpus' based on http://www.atariarchives.org/morebasicgames/showpage.php?page=179

Players are allowed to write one function/prcedure, or modify one function/procedure. You are not allowed to employ global variables. Players can only add/modify one function/procedure each round (ie they must wait until the next round before adding/modifying a procedure/function). A round is deemed complete, and restarted, If I add/modify a procedure or function.

Since one obvious 'get out' would be to write the entire program in one function, this is not permitted. A procedure / function must be used wherever appropriate, and ANY OTHER PLAYER may cry foul if they consider that a function/procedure could have been used - I will then delete that post. For instance, I could have initialised the caves in main(), but have passed that off to a function (yes, it could get ridiculous, I will decide!)

There is no winner, it is purely for fun, as a minor diversion. I hope to encourage the newcomers to euphoria / programming with this, though it is open to all. Remember modifications can be made to show how something could be done differently / better, more efficiently.

I have left a function unwritten - as a lead in. Post your entries here, as a new post, the entire program.

Have fun

Uuummmm - only std includes, and no top level, within the above, program variables, ie, all declared variables, must reside within the functions / procedures, and must be explicitly passed between functions / procedures.

Hi

This is part of the problem - read the BASIC code, and get an idea of what to do, then implement a way of doing it

              end if  
        end for  
     end for  
     exit  
end while  

This is cleaner:

  sequence status = {0,0,0,0,0,0} 
  procedure mkStatusList()  
    sequence list = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20} 
    integer r 
    for i = 1 to 6 do 
      r = rand_range(i,20) -- select a number between i and 20 inclusive 
      status[i] = list[r]  -- copy the value to status 
      list[r] = list[i]    -- removing list[r] from the list 
    end for   
  end procedure 

Being object-like is not really in the spirit of the game

Using functions to get values is perhaps useful:

(and the original did use functions)

  eg: function bat_nearby(integer room) 
        return find(status[bat1],caves[room]) or 
             find(status[bat2],caves[room]) 
      end function 
 
  or: procedure move_item(integer item, integer room) 
        -- assert(find(item,{HUNTER,WUMPUS}),"fixed item") 
        status[item] = room 
      end procedure 

Re arrows:

I think they could be a 7th status item making them consistent with the other items in the game.

Finally:

By my reading of the game..

The wumpus wakes if you fire an arrow or you enter his room. He then moves or doesn't move and eats you if you are in the room.

There is no test to see if he is awake or not so the only inference I can make is he then goes back to sleep. Therefore, the asleep or awake status flag is not needed.

A riskless winning strategy is easy to find if you know the set-up of the rooms. Allowing him to stay awake makes it harder only if you mess up the first time. After that you would only find him safely if he moved to a square next to you (3 in 19).

There is a good riskless strategy to follow even then.

It might be useful to change the rules slightly.

eg:

Give the rooms display numbers which are not the same as the play room numbers. This way a person cannot know the arrangement of rooms to fire arrows until he has been to adjacent rooms.

Allow the a probability of missing with an arrow. This should increase with distance.

One suggestion from the Wumpus2 page was to allow one-way tunnels.

Bill

Yes,

I agree about not changing the rules yet.

I have a couple of other suggestions for rule changes which could make a better game:

These are:

Allow the wumpus to hide in a pit. This is good strategy for him especially if we consider he can't be detected there because the draft is into the pit.

Another is to allow a setup like the bats and the pits around him. Then the game needs careful consideration because the wumpus's position can only be found by inference.

Some bugs (features) I've found:

1 The player cannot stand still, if the wumpus is moving about standing still is the only really safe policy - but it isn't allowed.

2 The restart same game feature fails to replace the wumpus if he has moved (and, probably if it is a restart the the wumpus has moved).

Hi

Ah, ok of course. Just goes to show, would have done it differently myself.

Added.

Also added a couple more idea functions.

Chris

response = ask("Move or shoot? (m/s) ","[ms]") 
-- if only "ms" it will search for string "ms" not for 'm' or 's'.

Hunter no longer immune to hazards

I have a criticism to make, not about any particular procedure but abot the general approach of:

> move or shoot (m/s)? m 
> to room? 12 

Points:

1 we need different prompts for each thing a player can do:

    getting instructions (1) 
    moving (2) 
    shooting (2) 
    new game (2) 
    quit (1) 

2 it is not possible to ask for help, or to start a new game, or quit (except by quitting the interpreter) while you are in the game loop.

3 responses to actions are scattered through the code.

4 the game is leading the player - do this or this, do this here, etc,. The player should be controlling what happens.

I suggest a command language - like the CLI.

  > move 10  -- moves to room 10 if possible, the status report each round     
             -- indicates whether the move was successful) 
 
  > move 21  -- an error (no room 21) 
             -- response 
             -- > ?   (laconic but explaining the error is overkill) 
             -- >     (ask again) 
 
  > move     -- another error 

Appropriate commands would be:

   move   <room>  
   shoot  <room-list> 
   help   <commands | instructions> 
   new 
   replay 
   quit 

A command is a space delimited list. All commands and word parameters can be abbrevated (m, mo, mov are all equivalent to move).

I will write a procedure to do this if you think it is a good idea and in the spirit of the game.

All of the things in the input language are things which are in the current game just scattered around through the code. We should not be rehashing Atari Basic style in Eu.

Replacing bits of the program with functions and procedures, threading them together getting rid of the gotos and gosubs is not necessarily making the game clearer. The input is a mess because it is all over the place. The error messages are scattered around. One has to read every line to know what the program does.

The project should be produce a model in Euphoria style

It is no great matter, I will submit some code. Probably in a couple of days. This will be my first Eu program.

And so, my friends, the story of the hapless Wumpus, and our fearless hunter has come to an end. I release upon the world the completed translation of the BASIC Wumpus game. It is yours, to do with, to play with, to tease and taunt, to ridicule and praise as you will. My child has flown and left the Wumperine nest. Just like all our children,it may not be perfect in others eyes, but I have nurtured it, watched it grow, and now watch it, with trepidation, spread its fragile wings on the cruel digital wind.

I look forward to the offspring that may spring from the conjoining of the fledgling idea, and the fertile minds of others.

Bon voyage my baby.

Now a decent Senet player.

Chris

Hi, yes, I know, room 20 has 4 tunnels. Correct it then - copy and paste it onto Pastey (look to your right), and let everyone else know!

or go to http://euphoria.pastey.net/145225-1e8j and update away!

Have fun.
