Vorple Notifications by Juhana Leinonen
Chapter: Notifications
Notifications are messages that show briefly in the top right corner of the page and then fade away. A notification can be displayed with:
display a notification reading "Hello World!";
Notifications can have a title that's shown in bold type above the notification text:
display a notification with title "Welcome" reading "Have fun!";
The notification is shown for seven seconds before it disappears. The duration can be changed per notification:
display a notification reading "Time passes..." for 10 seconds;
or globally by changing the "default notification duration" number variable:
now the default notification duration is 10;
There are four different notification types that have different background colors and icons: info, success, warning and error. The default notification type is info.
display a warning notification reading "Tread carefully!";
display a success notification with title "Achievement unlocked" reading "You found the secret passage";
Chapter: Fallback
If Vorple isn't available, the fallback is to display the notifications at the end of turn as plain text. The feature can be overridden by checking Vorple's availability:
if Vorple is available:
display a notification reading "Click on your inventory items to examine them more closely";
otherwise:
say "Type EXAMINE followed by an inventory item's name to examine them more closely.";
if Vorple is available:
display a notification reading "Welcome to Vorple-enhanced [story title]!";
The default fallback can also be turned off completely:
Example: * How To I - Showing small tips to new players who might not be familiar with the standard IF conventions.
Include Vorple Notifications by Juhana Leinonen.
Release along with the "Vorple" interpreter.
Lab is a room. "You're in a fancy laboratory."
Corridor is north of lab.
A test tube is in the lab.
A trolley is in the lab. It is pushable between rooms.
When play begins:
display a notification reading "Type LOOK (or just L) to see the room description again".
After taking something for the first time:
display a notification reading "Type INVENTORY (or just I) to see a list of what you're carrying";
continue the action.
After examining the trolley for the first time:
display a notification reading "You can push the trolley between rooms by commanding PUSH TROLLEY followed by a compass direction".
After reading a command when the player's command includes "examine":
display a notification reading "Tip: You can abbreviate EXAMINE to just X".
Test me with "take test tube / examine test tube / x trolley".
Example: ** Score Notifications - A visual notification when the player is awarded points.
We'll create a rule that will show the score change as a Vorple notification, or use the original score notification rule if the game is being played in a non-Vorple interpreter.
Include Vorple Notifications by Juhana Leinonen.
Release along with the "Vorple" interpreter.
Use scoring. The maximum score is 5.
Chapter 1 - New score notifications
To say score notification message:
(- NotifyTheScore(); -).
This is the enhanced notify score changes rule:
if Vorple is supported:
if the last notified score is not the score:
display a notification reading "[score notification message]";
now the last notified score is the score;
otherwise:
follow the notify score changes rule.
The enhanced notify score changes rule is listed instead of the notify score changes rule in the turn sequence rulebook.
Chapter 2 - Treasure chamber
Treasure Chamber is a room. "Wealth beyond your dreams is piled all over this room."
A valuable is a kind of thing. The pearls, gold coins, diamonds, rubies and emeralds are plural-named valuables in the Treasure Chamber.
Carry out taking a valuable when the noun is not handled (this is the award points for finding valuables rule):
increase the score by one.
Test me with "take coins / take diamonds and rubies / take all".
