Feature #10

Updated by Hilapdatus about 5 years ago

When a container contains multiple coins those coins are automatically put into a pile.    You can pull individual coins out of the pile or pull all the coins of a particular type out of the pile. 

 I think it would be nifty if other objects could be heaped into piles as well.    If there are seven swords on the ground, I'd like to see: 

  a heap of swords is here 

 instead of 

  a sword, a sword, a sword, a sword, a sword, a sword, and a sword are here 

 This could be controlled by adding something like: 

 <pre><code class="c">int 

  int CanBePiled() { return 1; } 
 string PileNoun(int numItems) { return "pile" }</code></pre> } 

 to LIB_OBJECT.    Objects that shouldn't be piled could then override CanBePiled() and have it return 0.    Other objects can alter the noun. 

 By altering the noun based on the number of items a we could do something like have a dozen roses when there are 12 otherwise we'd have a bunch of roses. 

 A pile wouldn't be created unless there are five or more objects or some such.
