USE:
- Use form one to look around the room you're currently in.
- Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity, and you want to look at something. In the example, there's exactly one box in the room with you.
- Use form three or four when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible entity by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, you're carrying a green shirt, a cotton shirt, etc. Again, you're looking at the box, not inside it.
- Use form three or four when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible entity by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, you're carrying a green shirt, a cotton shirt, etc. Again, you're looking at the box, not inside it.
- Use form five when there are many instances of <thing> available to look at, and you want to look at one of them in particular.
- Use form six when there's no possible ambiguity, and you want to look inside something. In the example, there's exactly one box in the room with you. Note that the box may not be open, and thus you might not be able to see inside. If this is so, you'll be informed.
- Use form seven or eight when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible entity by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a small box inside the current room, and a large one.
- Use form seven or eight when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible entity by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a small box inside the current room, and a large one.
- Use form nine when there are many instances of <thing> available to look inside.
L searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the Room you're in, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "l box" will look at the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "look 2.box" for the latter.
Not every item is necessarily something you can look at. As with all commands, the Game Channel will record the outcome of your action.
The Dungeon parser has limited NLP capability. You can successfully use "l at the box", for example.
