!  Toyshop 961111                   One of the standard Inform 6 example games
!
!  This is not a real game.  The main example game for Inform is "Advent",
!  a port of Colossal Cave.  Since that's something of an antique, and most
!  of the objects in it are rather simple, this is a collection of more
!  exotic features and peculiar objects.  Note that "Advent" has plenty of
!  interesting doors, a good lantern and bottled oil and water, so those
!  won't be part of the Toyshop.
!
!  Needs Inform 6 with library 6/1 or later to compile.
!
!  To win, simply find 6 interesting things to do and leave by the main exit!
!
!       Object            Is an example of...
!
!  >SA  satchel           Container into which the game silently puts things
!  >HE  helium balloon    Something moving under the control of a daemon
!  >CA  little red car    Vehicle, and pushable from place to place
!  >PF  padded floor      Scenery present in several rooms at once
!  >GR  hand grenade      Timed events: a grenade and its pin
!  >MA  matchbook         Simple fire and matches; changing inventory styles
!  >WC  white candles     A stock of objects identical to each other
!  >GL  white gloves      Two independent objects which can behave as a pair
!  >CO  green cone        Easy before and after rules
!  >HW  high window       Starting and stopping daemons
!  >BC  bolted cupboard   A typical locked container (with key)
!  >GB  glass box         Container light can get through
!  >SB  steel box         Container light can't get through
!  >BL  building blocks   A complicated class definition; piles of objects
!  >CH  Christopher       Someone you can talk to, and persuade to do things
!  >OF  Office            Rules about moving in a particular direction
!  >TB  toothed bag       A container with ideas about what it will allow
!  >SL  spirit level      Something to put on top of things
!  >BB  blackboard        A blackboard to write messages on

! >MA  This is a matchbook of five matches, which is quite simple in that you

!      and the matchbook are coded here.  Note also that the "match" object
!      returns to the book even when the book is empty, so that the parser
!      will still understand requests for matches - which the "before" rule,
!      which automatically removes matches when needed, can then turn down.
!
!      The matchbook has a daemon whose job is to tidy up lost matches.  One
!      might expect this rule to be coded with an "after" routine, to trap
!      the player dropping matches.  But suppose there were a magpie in the
!      game, and it flew down and stole the match but left the matchbook!

! >GL  The following example, suggested to the author by Richard Tucker,
!      demonstrates an apparently tricky case of objects with associated
!   sub-objects.  The pair of white gloves behaves just like any other item
!   of clothing - but the player can also use the left and right gloves
!   independently, can take away or wear only one and so on.  When they
!   come back together (even in a cupboard, say, or on a mantelpiece)
!   they are called a pair again.
!
!   We can do this with only three objects, one daemon and one rule.
!
!   When the gloves are together, and the player refers to an individual
!   glove, the before rule splits up the pair and starts the daemon.
!   Once active, the daemon tries every turn to re-join them into a pair.
!   (If it succeeds, it turns itself off.)
!
!   Note that the "pair of gloves" object has the "general" attribute exactly
!   when the gloves are apart.  Otherwise the pair-object contains both
!   glove objects, and has "transparent" so that the parser knows the player
!   can see and refer to them.
