Shaking an object produces no response #31

Open eriktorbjorn opened 5 years ago

V-SHAKE handles when PRSO has the VILLAIN bit (which doesn't work since you can apparently only shake objects you are carrying?), or when you're shaking an object with something inside. Otherwise, the game doesn't print any response at all.

We should probably just pick a default message from some other game. Here are some:

Zork I: "Shaken." Deadline: "Well, what did you expect to happen?" Enchanter: "There's no point in shaking that."
