Burglar!

In your adventures through the Town of ZZT, you have been captured by the evil Dungeon Guards. Not recognizing you as the great escape artist you are, the guards have thrown you in the Dungeons of ZZT.

? does activate the cheats.

?+anything sets a flag. So in every board of Burglar there's an object with code like...


@Inventory
#cycle 1
:loop
#if i then use
#loop
#end
:use
#clear i
What do you want to use?
!1;Crowbar
!2;Kleenex
#loop
#end
:1
#all:crowbar
#loop
#end
:2
#all:kleenex
#loop
#end

Then the other objects...

@window
#end
:touch
uh a dirty window
#end
:crowbar
You shatter the window or something.
#die
#end
:kleenex
You clean the window. AREN'T YOU A NICE BURGLAR.
#end

Are souls really immortal, or is that just what they want us to believe?

What's the usual address?

I'm beginning to believe that souls are really a sham, you see. Or a Communist plot. Or a Communist sham!

I believe souls ARE immortal,
but you destroy them (theortically) by puuting them in a candle (means: entrap them), and light that candle and let it burn.
That way, the souls are (theortically) burned, therefor do not exist!

Except that burning something does not destroy it, it just changes its form - for example, wood becomes carbon dioxide and... uh... regular carbon, I guess.

So you can't destroy a soul at all. See?

I vicariously enjoy the manner in which you apply voluminous amounts of pressure using your hand to my posterior.

Yo MT, got a question. Is their actually any use for that stick glue item in Burglar, or is it a red herring.
