| CF | Starting Program Arborea ... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | ... a soft female voice speaks out ... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | ... please remain calm while your environment is created. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | eyes and ... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Arborea | ||
| CF | A traditional parser-based adventure with an arboreal/ecological theme | ||
| CF | by Richard Develyn | ||
| CF | Release 12 / Serial number 220922 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib | ||
| CF | 6/12N) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Vast Forest | ||
| CF | You are in a forest with trees all around you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The soft female voice speaks out again: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | To finish this program, you will have to retrieve the kernel | ||
| CF | (there might be a play on words here). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | If this is your first time, try asking for help. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "help" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/1 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > HELP | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Welcome to Arborea. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The purpose of this game is to discover a story by interacting with it | ||
| CF | using the simple English language. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This is not a full simulation, i.e. don't expect to be able to do | ||
| CF | everything to everything, however, anything which is relevant to | ||
| CF | advancing the story, plus anything which is close to advancing the | ||
| CF | story, should be understood. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | In terms of special commands and conventions: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | help, credits, feedback, full score, save, restore, restart, | ||
| CF | quit and undo are pretty self-explanatory. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | i, which is short for "inventory", will list everything that | ||
| CF | you are carrying (and you start this game carrying something). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | l, which is short for "look", will redisplay the description of | ||
| CF | your location (but you will need to type the full "look" with "look | ||
| CF | for", "look under", etc). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | x, which is short for "examine", and which you should use a | ||
| CF | lot, will tell you more information about whatever it is that you are | ||
| CF | examining (and sometimes the first "examine" will list things which | ||
| CF | you should subsequently "examine"). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | z, which is short for sleep, will allow a "turn" of time to | ||
| CF | pass without doing anything, as sometimes things happen regardless of | ||
| CF | what you do. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The cardinal directions, n,s,e,w,ne,nw,se,sw, plus u for | ||
| CF | up, d for down, in and out, are the conventional | ||
| CF | ways of moving around in the world, but there are other ways you can | ||
| CF | use which you will discover as you make your way through the story | ||
| CF | (for example, if you are in the forest, try climb a tree). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The main thing about a game like this is to try things out and see | ||
| CF | where it takes you. Keep an eye on your score to see how well or badly | ||
| CF | you are doing, and remember, if your score suddenly drops (which means | ||
| CF | you've put the game in an unwinnable state, which is always flagged in | ||
| CF | this way) or you die, you can always use UNDO. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Happy Adventuring. | ||

| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X GOURD | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | About the size of your fist, this light brown fruit has several small | ||
| CF | pictures engraved or carved upon it. The pictures show an acorn, a | ||
| CF | crab, a mystic of some sort, something that looks like fluff (?!), a | ||
| CF | palm leaf, a pine cone, one of those big-eyed Amazonian frogs and a | ||
| CF | tree which appears to have been drawn upside-down. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| robryk says (to ClubFloyd), "x frog" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/7 | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The distinctive wide-eyed inhabitant of the Amazon rainforest. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | robryk says, "nah, that seems to be actually correct, but just slightly weirdly written" | |
| DavidW says, "Could you slow down a bit. I cannot read that fast and take any notes." | ||
| robryk says, "ack, will do" | ||
| DavidW says, "okay, I've made a list of the markings." | ||
| Jade says, "me too" | ||
| robryk says (to ClubFloyd), "x crab" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/8 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X CRAB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Although this could refer to a crab-apple tree, a genuine crab which | ||
| CF | likes to spend its time climbing trees can be found in the | ||
| CF | mangrove swamps of the Caribbean. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "I wonder if the markings are like elevator buttons that transform the simulation when you push them." | |
| robryk exclaims, "do try!" | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "push crab" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/9 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > PUSH CRAB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | All you need to do is to keep an eye on the picture of the crab on the | ||
| CF | gourd; nothing else about it matters. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| robryk says (to ClubFloyd), "stare at crab" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/9 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > STARE AT CRAB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | That's not a verb I recognise. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x mystic" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/10 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X MYSTIC | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The most famous reference to a tree concerning mysticism is the fig | ||
| CF | tree known as the bodhi tree. Legend has it that below this | ||
| CF | tree Siddhartha Gautama eventually achieved enlightenment and became | ||
| CF | the Buddha. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x fluff" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/11 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X FLUFF | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This probably refers to that strange "cotton" which clings to the side | ||
| CF | of poplar or cottonwood trees typical of the southern | ||
| CF | states of the USA. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | robryk says, "so, all of these have connections to forests that are very obvious to the character" | |
| DavidW says, "And not the insides of aspirin bottles." | ||
| DavidW says, "yeah, the PC knows a lot more about forests than I do." | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "roll gourd" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/12 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ROLL GOURD | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You get the feeling the gourd is quite important, given that you | ||
| CF | started the simulation with the thing in your possession, so probably | ||
| CF | best not to mess about with it too much until you know more about it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| robryk says (to ClubFloyd), "look at crab" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/13 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK AT CRAB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Although this could refer to a crab-apple tree, a genuine crab which | ||
| CF | likes to spend its time climbing trees can be found in the | ||
| CF | mangrove swamps of the Caribbean. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW asks, "So not a die, then?" | |
| robryk says (to ClubFloyd), "imagine crab" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/13 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > IMAGINE CRAB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | That's not a verb I recognise. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x palm leaf" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/14 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X PALM LEAF | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Undeniably part of a palm tree, which comes in many varieties, | ||
| CF | and produces many different types of fruit, the most common being | ||
| CF | coconuts and dates. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | robryk says, "or at least we don't know it yet" | |
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x cone" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/15 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X CONE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | As produced in huge quantities by pine trees around the world, | ||
| CF | and often painted by children as decorations. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "I've never painted a pine cone. Also, the damn things are sticky." | |
| DavidW says, "The pine sap makes your fingers smell like pine for hours." | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x tree" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/16 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X TREE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (one of the random trees) | ||
| CF | They are many and varied, but here in the middle of the forest there's | ||
| CF | nothing particularly special about any of them. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x upside-down tree" | ||
| CF ] Vast Forest 0/17 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X UPSIDE-DOWN TREE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | No tree grows upside-down, of course, but the baobab tree found | ||
| CF | on the African continent has gained this name because its sparse | ||
| CF | branches resemble roots. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | robryk asks, ""of course"... well, how do we know that?" | |
| DavidW says, "I think baobabs are in Madagasgar." | ||
| DavidW says, "I guess Africa as well." | ||
| Jade says, "yes" | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "x me" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | (one of the random trees) | ||
| CF | No problem at all for a fit adventurer like yourself. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Forest (up a tree) | ||
| CF | From here, you can see the forest canopy stretching out in all | ||
| CF | directions. Variations in the makeup of the forest are clearer from | ||
| CF | this height - should there be any kind of tree in particular that you | ||
| CF | want to look for. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "oh." | |
| DavidW says, "We can try to look for one of the trees mentioned." | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for palm tree" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/25 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR PALM TREE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Looking over towards the east, the forest becomes almost symmetrical | ||
| CF | in its layout, and the trees more uniform - less of a forest, more of | ||
| CF | a plantation. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for mangrove" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/26 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR MANGROVE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Over to the west, the tree line becomes strangely twisted, suggesting | ||
| CF | a mangrove swamp. You can also see a river next to it emptying out | ||
| CF | into the sea. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "pook for pine tree" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/26 | ||

| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for pine tree" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/27 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR PINE TREE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Far to the north the tree line rises, becomes more coniferous and a | ||
| CF | pine shade of green. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for oak" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/28 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR OAK | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Over to the northwest, the forest becomes more regular, like a park, | ||
| CF | with oak trees and a festival taking place around them. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for baobab" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/29 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR BAOBAB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Towards the southeast, the forest thins out so much that pretty soon | ||
| CF | only a few, large, strangely shaped trees can be seen dotting the | ||
| CF | landscape. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for rainforest" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/30 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR RAINFOREST | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Over to the southwest, the forest becomes more tropical, like a | ||
| CF | jungle, with low rain clouds hanging over the canopy. Perhaps you | ||
| CF | should try that way. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for fig tree" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/31 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR FIG TREE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Mountains rise to the northeast, where the forest becomes sparse, and | ||
| CF | a few fig trees dot the landscape. | ||

| CF | > | ||
| David says, (to ClubFloyd), "look for poplar" | ||
| CF ] Forest (up a tree) 5/32 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOOK FOR POPLAR | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Far to the south, a prairie can be seen. The trees that border that | ||
| CF | land are of the cottonwood variety (also known as poplars). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "That's all eight directions and markings accounted for." | |
| robryk asks, "so, shall we walk?" | ||

| CF | into the forest to the south. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A large mead hall normally associated with Vikings or Saxons lies to | ||
| CF | the east. The sounds of merriment can be heard from within. | ||

| CF | He looks briefly in your direction but otherwise ignores you. You get | ||
| CF | the feeling that he's here to guard the door, and until he's relieved | ||
| CF | of duty he's not going to be interested in anything else. | ||

| CF | lake, which you can now regard below you in all of its glory. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The lake waters are calm and peaceful, and a deep shade of blue. The | ||
| CF | pine forest itself surrounds the lake on all sides, mostly all the way | ||
| CF | down to the water's edge. However, there is a spot just below you | ||
| CF | which is clear and which you can probably get to if you keep going | ||
| CF | down, and next to it is a Viking funeral ship, floating on the water. | ||
| CF | Off towards the centre of the lake is a small island shrouded in mist. | ||

| CF | with a pyre of logs on which rests the body of a dead Viking | ||

| CF | Baobabs can live for over 3000 years. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | They resist drought, fire, and termites and can regrow their bark | ||
| CF | if stripped. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Legend says that if you pick a flower from a baobab tree, you will | ||
| CF | be eaten by a lion, but if you drink water that has been soaked with | ||
| CF | baobab seeds, you will not be eaten by crocodiles. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Humans utilise baobabs for many purposes, including shelter, | ||
| CF | ceremonies, food, medicine, fibre, juices and beer. Their massive | ||
| CF | trunks (the largest circumference on record is 47 metres) have been | ||
| CF | used as jails, post offices and bush pubs. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Some of Africa's largest and oldest baobab trees appear to be | ||

| CF | Palm oil has been and continues to be a major driver of | ||
| CF | deforestation of some of the world's most biodiverse forests, | ||
| CF | destroying the habitat of already endangered species such as the | ||
| CF | Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This forest loss and the conversion of carbon-rich peat soils are | ||
| CF | throwing millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and | ||
| CF | contributing to climate change. There also remains some exploitation | ||
| CF | of workers and child labour. | ||

| CF | of the tent surrounded, at a respectful distance, by her ladies in | ||
| CF | waiting. A very well-dressed pirate whom you recognise from portraits | ||
| CF | as Sir Francis Drake stands a few paces away from the queen. The two | ||
| CF | of them seem to be in a heated discussion: she is telling him that he | ||
| CF | should be sorting out a Spanish invasion fleet which is apparently on | ||
| CF | its way over, but he's more interested in showing her his potato. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | An enclosed jousting arena lies to the north, and jousting is | ||

| CF | Typical of the 17th century, this pirate ship is a "sloop", i.e. a | ||

| CF | through shallow waters. The pirate shanty town is to the south. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Several pirates are on board, swabbing the deck under the gaze of a | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The overseer herself stands over them with a whip in her hand, cursing | ||

| CF | | ||

| CF | Processing Plant | ||
| CF | The inside of the processing plant is a vast workshop of tables, | ||
| CF | benches, cupboards, and huge pieces of machinery used in producing | ||
| CF | palm oil at an industrial scale. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | There's nobody about and, though the place doesn't look abandoned, | ||
| CF | none of the machinery is in use, suggesting that perhaps it's a | ||
| CF | holiday or, more likely, a break in production whilst the palm trees | ||
| CF | are allowed to grow to the right level of maturity. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A small oven ("small" relatively speaking), a small compressor and a | ||
| CF | small washer, probably for working with samples, stand to one side, | ||
| CF | whilst a cleaning cupboard is over on the other. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Generally speaking, you have to crush things to get oil out of them, | ||

| CF | oven, however, this seems to be more for processing samples than for a | ||

| CF | The Amazon Basin | ||

| CF | the rainforest. | ||
