[edit] Common development issues

When you have created a room and some objects, here are some things to try.

  • Read your room description carefully, and for every noun, type examine noun. did it work? did it do what you expected?
  • Try get /noun/, should it work? what should it have printed? did you forget the scenery attribute?
  • Try climb on /noun/
  • Try push /noun/
  • Try wierd exits, in, out, up, down. Should they make sense?
