NightFloyd Transcript:
Professor Frank by Laurence Kilday
As played on ifMUD on June 5, 2014

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions (but not always, as you'll see in this transcript). NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of Professor Frank written by Laurence Kilday. It was an entry in the 2011 Interactive Fiction Competition, in which it took 34th place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

genericgeekgirl says, "You have 13 minutes to agree on a game."
Zach panics
McMartin says, "I am still at work and have things to do :("
McMartin says, "Perhaps I will merely sit in the corner and watch terrible things happen"
Zach asks (of DavidW), "Watcha think?"
DavidW says, "I haven't played Prof Frank, I think. Could try that one."
DavidW says, "I'm lagging really badly, though. I may have to sit out the session and try to kibitz."

Floyd | PROFESSOR
Floyd | FRANK'S MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURE !!
Floyd | STRANGE HAPPENINGS IN THE AULDTOON PUBLIC LIBRARY AFTER THE
Floyd | ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR FRANK  FALLS ASLEEP AND GETS LOCKED IN THE
Floyd | LIBRARY. THE SCOTTISH PROFESSOR IS AN INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS
Floyd | BIOLOGIST, AN EXPERT ON THOSE TINY AMPHIBIOUS CREATURES......THE
Floyd | NEWTS!!  HE IS, UNFORTUNATELY, FAIRLY DIM-WITTED ABOUT EVERYTHING
Floyd | ELSE.
Floyd | What! You do not know how to play this game?  Just use the
Floyd | commands INFO or ABOUT or HOW TO, to get lots of information, tips,
Floyd | suggestions, and clues on how to play "Professor Frank". In each room
Floyd | use HELP to get specific help. What! You are not Scottish? There are
Floyd | some Scots words, and some particularly Scottish things in the game,
Floyd | but you will be able to guess the meanings, and the professor soon
Floyd | acquires a companion ( fairly dim-witted as well), whom you can ask
Floyd | about lots of things that appear in the game.

Floyd | Reading Room
Floyd | Professor Frank, an absent minded academic, has fallen asleep in the
Floyd | Auldtoon public library on Saturday afternoon, and has been locked in.
Floyd | He wakes up and looks around him. How will the daft old coot get out?
Floyd | The red door is to the south and the white door to the west, and an
Floyd | opening to the east. In the room there is a table, and a large window
Floyd | lets in light. On the floor is the Professor's briefcase.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the brown table are a science magazine, a green book and a red
Floyd | book.

Floyd | > X CAGE
Floyd |
Floyd | The professor can see a large brightly coloured parrot in the  cage.
Floyd | A little metal plate on the cage says:" My name is Captain Flint."
Floyd | Frank vaguely remembers reading "Treasure Island " by Robert Louis
Floyd | Stevenson.....yes, Captain Flint was the name of Long John Silver's
Floyd | parrot, but that was only a work of fiction! The parrot hops out of
Floyd | his cage and starts to follow Frank. Now the professor has a
Floyd | companion. Since some parrots can talk, perhaps Captain Flint can help
Floyd | Frank to get out of the library.
Floyd | To ask a person (or a talking animal like Captain Flint, or perhaps a
Floyd | talking thing like a telephone or a computer with a speaker)
Floyd | something, the format is ASK A ABOUT B, so FRANK could try ASK PARROT
Floyd | ABOUT LIBRARY, ASK CAPTAIN FLINT ABOUT HELP, ASK PARROT ABOUT NEWTS,
Floyd | etc. The parrot may know more than Frank about what is happening!
Floyd | NOTE: when Captain Flint is the only character in the same place as
Floyd | the professor, you can simply type ASK ABOUT NEWTS/ASK ABOUT LIBRARY
Floyd | etc, and the program "knows" you (Professor Frank) are asking Captain
Floyd | Flint. If there is more than one character with Professor Frank you
Floyd | need to use the longer version of ASK including the name of the
Floyd | character that you want to answer the question. (ASK FLINT ABOUT
Floyd | COMPUTER etc.)

Floyd |       Made in Scotland by Luddite Engineering Company, Glasgow.
Floyd |  A blue drawer is part of the strange machine, as is a black slot.
Floyd | There is a glass screen on the front but it is dark, because the

Floyd | Frank picks up the page, which looks as though someone has torn it out
Floyd | of a book. Across the top of the page is printed "RUSSIAN FOLK TALES
Floyd | AND LEGENDS   by Ivan Petrov Page 78".  Below this is the text of the
Floyd | page:
Floyd | It is headed  "BABA YAGA AND HER BIG CHICKEN HUT."  Frank reads the
Floyd | page..........it is the story of the legendary Russian  witch Baba
Floyd | Yaga and her strange and frightening house which walks around after
Floyd | her, on legs like those of a giant chicken or turkey. (So, whenever
Floyd | she wanted to go home.......she was already home!!) The Russian
Floyd | composer Mussgorsky composed a famous musical work "Pictures at an
Floyd | Exhibition", comprising a number of pieces of music about different
Floyd | paintings he had seen at an art show, and one of the pictures was a
Floyd | painting of  Baba Yaga's strange walking house. This well-known piece
Floyd | of music is called "The Hut On Fowl's Legs."
Floyd | The Professor, however, is not interested in the Russian folk
Floyd | tales.
Floyd | Too late now, the wee ned charges at Frank, seizes Frank and is about
Floyd | to stuff him into the red box! Just in time the Professor Frank
Floyd | Emergency Rescue Squad arrives to rescue Frank. (You can check at top
Floyd | of screen on right, how many "rescues" Frank has left.)  They drag Wee
Floyd | MacNasty the Ned away.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Professor Frank will need to be more careful. Frank has used up one
Floyd | of his rescues! He has 6 rescues left.

Floyd | IF THE TEXT ON THE SCREEN IS TOO SMALL TO READ COMFORTABLY, MOVE THE
Floyd | CURSOR ALONG THE ICONS AT THE TOP OF THE GAME SCREEN UNTIL THE WORD
Floyd | "OPTIONS" IS DISPLAYED, AND YOU CAN THEN CHANGE THE TYPE SIZE. ( If
Floyd | playing on op sys other than Windows + frotz.exe interpreter, also
Floyd | known as Frobozz Magic Interpreter, no doubt similar changes can be
Floyd | made).
Floyd | HOW TO PLAY
Floyd | PROFESSOR FRANK
Floyd | THE MAGIC WORD IS AVAILABLE! The magic word is the word UNDO, and (as
Floyd | you have probably guessed) this single-word command allows you to
Floyd | "take back" your last move.
Floyd | BASICS:  Everything mentioned on the screen may give you more
Floyd | information if you EXAMINE it. Examples: EXAMINE TABLE, EXAMINE FRANK,
Floyd | EXAMINE DOOR, EXAMINE MAD DOG, EXAMINE DESK. You think EXAMINE is a
Floyd | long word to type?  All right, you just need to type X for EXAMINE,
Floyd | for example, X BOOK, X FRANK, X TABLE etc. You can try some other
Floyd | verbs also such as PUSH/ TURN/ THROW/ TAKE/ BREAK/ UNLOCK/ EAT/
Floyd | SHAKE/CLIMB (all followed by a noun), such as READ BOOK perhaps?
Floyd | Remember if something could be inside a container, then as well as X
Floyd | BOX, OPEN BOX, try LOOK IN BOX. If you move something or pick
Floyd | something up, repeat EXAMINE  and LOOK IN, as you may have uncovered
Floyd | something hidden.( For example if you find a book in a box, after TAKE
Floyd | BOOK, try LOOK IN BOX again....you might find something that was
Floyd | hidden under the book!! As in real life, you might want to LOOK UNDER
Floyd | some things, like beds, chairs, tables etc.
Floyd | The one word command LOOK (or just L) answers the question: Where am
Floyd | I?; the command INVENTORY (or just I) answers the question: What
Floyd | things am I carrying?
Floyd | SAVE. If you want to save your position in the game the command is
Floyd | SAVE. To load a saved game the command is RESTORE and the game will
Floyd | load, then type LOOK and you will be back in the position you saved.
Floyd | QUIT to end the game.
Floyd | HELP? HELP?  What? You want more help while you are playing the game?
Floyd | Try the command HELP in each location. What? You want a short form for
Floyd | HELP? All right, just type H for help. If you are reading this at the
Floyd | very start of the game, type HELP after you have read these
Floyd | instructions. There is lots of HELP in the first room. HELP in some
Floyd | rooms is variable, changing after you have done certain things in the
Floyd | room, so try investigating things for yourself. The response to HELP
Floyd | can also change after you come into a place again.
Floyd | BIG CLUE: There are a number of dangerous characters that the
Floyd | Professor will meet in the game. Some of them, just like ordinary
Floyd | people, are particularly fond of something good to eat, a tasty snack!
Floyd |
Floyd | MOVING ABOUT: To move around the game the commands are: GO NORTH,
Floyd | SOUTH, EAST, WEST, UP and DOWN. You can use single letters for these
Floyd | commands:  N,S,E,W,U and D  That's easy enough ! If you are in a room
Floyd | and there is an opening to the south, the command S will take you to
Floyd | that other room unless there is a closed door. Many text adventure
Floyd | games use four other horizontal directions ( NE, NW, SE, SW) but these
Floyd | are NOT used in "Professor Frank" so you do NOT have to try them.
Floyd | Other short commands are LOOK and INVENTORY,  just use L and I for
Floyd | these.  If the description of the room goes off the top of the screen,
Floyd | just type LOOK or L to recall the display. INVENTORY or I  shows the
Floyd | items you are carrying with you. If you find a silver key and type
Floyd | TAKE KEY, then later when you type INVENTORY, you will see that you
Floyd | have the key (and anything else you have taken). If you don't want to
Floyd | carry the item any longer, type DROP KEY. HINT: In this game, each key
Floyd | is only used once, so after unlocking something, you can drop that
Floyd | key.
Floyd | DOORS:  After typing W the program may tell you "the green door is
Floyd | there".  Try OPEN GREEN DOOR.  If the door is not locked the program
Floyd | will open the door, and now when you type WEST or ENTER GREEN DOOR you
Floyd | will go into the other room.  If a door is locked you may need to find
Floyd | some way of unlocking it, often (but not always) a key, such as UNLOCK
Floyd | RED DOOR WITH RED KEY
Floyd | COMMON TYPES OF COMMANDS:  Normally a verb and a noun: OPEN DRAWER,
Floyd | CLIMB STAIRS. Other possible commands could be: EAT APPLE, THROW ROCK
Floyd | AT SCORPION, OPEN BOX, READ NOTICE, PULL RED LEVER, PRESS ELEVATOR
Floyd | BUTTON. Sometimes, as in normal speech, we have more than one noun
Floyd | after a verb:  PUT APPLE IN BOX, ATTACK DRAGON WITH CREAM CAKE, etc,
Floyd | etc. Commands like this are also used in "Professor Frank" and other
Floyd | text-adventure games.
Floyd | TALKING TO OTHER CHARACTERS:  It is difficult to create real
Floyd | conversations between people (well, it is for a simpleton like me!);
Floyd | so we simply use the formula ASK A ABOUT B, such as ASK PARROT ABOUT
Floyd | LIBRARY. Yes, soon after the game starts, Professor Frank will have a
Floyd | companion who will answer lots of questions through the game; that
Floyd | well-known literary character Captain Flint, Long John Silver's parrot
Floyd | in "Treasure Island".
Floyd | NOTE: when Captain Flint is the only character in the same place as
Floyd | the Professor, you can simply type ASK ABOUT NEWTS/ASK ABOUT
Floyd | LIBRARY/ASK ABOUT LABORATORY etc, and the program knows you (Professor
Floyd | Frank) are asking Captain Flint. If there is more than one character
Floyd | with Professor Frank you need to use the longer version of ASK
Floyd | including the name of the character that you want to answer the
Floyd | question.(ASK PARROT ABOUT COMPUTER etc.)
Floyd | If you get an error message, first  CHECK YOUR SPELLING. I suggest
Floyd | that you use LARGE LETTERS when typing in commands, as it is easier to
Floyd | spot spelling mistakes. (The error message in this game is the word "
Floyd | What???")  If your spelling is correct, try a different command. For
Floyd | example if the program rejects PULL RED LEVER, try PUSH RED LEVER, or
Floyd | MOVE RED LEVER.
Floyd |
Floyd | EXTRA LIVES! There are no difficult puzzles to solve, no nameless
Floyd | rooms in a maze to get through.  If Professor Frank does not get into
Floyd | trouble, you will not enjoy the game. Anyway, the Professor Frank
Floyd | Emergency Rescue Squad will come to your assistance - eight times!
Floyd | (See top right of screen for how many "rescues" you have left.)
Floyd | AIM OF THE GAME? To have some fun! ( I only included the 10 hidden
Floyd | gold rings for those who insist that a game must be "winnable." This
Floyd | game is mainly intended to give you a few laughs.)
Floyd |  Remember! Type the  command LOOK to recall where you are in the game.
Floyd |  SHORT COMMANDS:   L,I,X,H,N,S,E,W,U,D

Floyd asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" Zach says, "From the "walkthrough":"
Zach | Since this game is (hopefully) a comedy, I do NOT want the walkthrough available to ordinary players as this high-speed âwhizzâ though the game will spoil the fun!
Zach | Why do I not want the walkthrough published?
Zach | 1. The 'magic word' UNDO is available in this game.
Zach | 2. There are no cryptic conundrums or difficult logic puzzles to solve.
Zach | 5. The whole point of the game is for the absent-minded Professor to keep getting into trouble â the walk-through of course solves all the problems he encounters, and avoids those which are avoidable.
DavidW asks, "That's what the walkthrough says? That's it's not a walkthrough?"
Zach says, "That's the author telling Stephen Granade why she doesn't want the walkthrough to be available"
DavidW says, "It's odd how the cheat codes and rescues suck the life all out of the game."
Zach says, "But it does have the commands needed to win, I think"
Zach says, "Though they're in the format of I7 testing commands"
DavidW says, "I suppose I could try writing my own walkthrough, eventually. I'd have the play the game far more than I have, though."
Zach says (to DavidW), "Yeah, especially considering how the author claims the game doesn't have any hard puzzles"
DavidW says, "But a walkthrough that relies on testing commands sounds really weird and unsatisfactory."
Zach) Zach says, "So it's very fitting for the game"
Zach says, "Sorry, I'll try to be nicer"
