key verbs #2

Open jtauber opened 6 years ago

jtauber commented 6 years ago

In Zork, the key verbs seems to be (at least):

GO [DIRECTION]
TAKE / GET
OPEN
MOVE
TURN ON (LAMP)
PUT
DROP
TURN
PUSH
READ
TOUCH
RAISE (BASKET)
ENTER

There are also very specific things like WIND [TOY], DEFLATE, PUMP UP, FLIP (SWITCH).

Of course there are verbs which don't make much sense to enter but which can be used in descriptions of scenes (in the third person) and also responses to actions taken (in the second person) such as YOU COME TO or YOU FIND or YOU SEE or YOU HEAR or YOU NOTICE.
