[This was originally an example for Basic Screen Effects, showing how to make a colored compass-rose status line in ascii. Here we use roughly the same layout (minus an upward connection) to demonstrate a Glulx sidebar with a graphical compass rose. The idea of the graphical compass rose is that it should show where available exits are, and should distinguish (in this case by color) between exits that lead to previously visited rooms and those that lead to new territory. Because it's Glulx, we also make the graphical compass hyperlinked, so clicking on a direction sends a command to the game. Clicking at the center of the rose, I arbitrarily decided, should mean "look", since the center of the rose represents the place where we now stand.] Release along with source text and a website. |
