Nous Research "Hermes" model:

Code: Select all

Based on the analysis of the QEGS text adventure game file, here is the solution:

Objective: Obtain both the report and the card to achieve a "Good Record" and complete the adventure.

Key Elements:

    Report: Object number 14, weight 10
    Card: Object number 29, weight 10
    Winning Condition: When you obtain both items, you'll receive message 42: "Well done!" says H.M. "You've got the report AND the card! Good Record!"

How to Obtain the Items:

    The game file contains conditional logic (e.g., CARR, VERB, NOUN checks) that govern how items are acquired
    You'll need to:
        Explore different rooms
        Use appropriate verbs (actions) with correct nouns (objects)
        Trigger specific conditions to pick up or trade items
    For example:
        In room 240, carrying object 37 (sheep) and using verb 3 (EAST) triggers a message and drops the sheep
        In room 18, using verb 30 (DROP) with noun 42 (TIE) while carrying it results in swapping items

Recommendation:
Since the exact sequence isn't specified in the file, you should:

    Systematically explore all rooms
    Try different verb-noun combinations
    Pay attention to messages that hint at item locations or requirements
    Focus on acquiring object 14 (report) and object 29 (card) specifically

The game ends when you successfully obtain both items, triggering the congratulatory message.

Further prompts to provide a step-by-step solution result only in slightly expanded generic considerations. I.e. the model understood the game basically, but does not attempt to solve it in detail.

To complete the **QEGS text adventure**, you must obtain **two key items**: the **Report** and the **Card**, and then deliver them to **H.M.'s office (Room 60)**. Here’s a step-by-step solution to finish the game:

---

### **Step 1: Obtain the Report**
- The **Report** (object **14**) starts in **Room 121 (The Porter's Office)**.
- To get the Report:
  1. Navigate to **Room 121**.
  2. Use the command `GET REPORT` or `TAKE REPORT` to pick it up.
     - If you’re already carrying too much, you may need to `DROP` an item first.

---

### **Step 2: Obtain the Card**
- The **Card** (object **29**) starts in **Room 155**.
- To get the Card:
  1. Navigate to **Room 155**.
  2. Use the command `GET CARD` or `TAKE CARD` to pick it up.

---

### **Step 3: Navigate to H.M.'s Office (Room 60)**
- **H.M.'s office** is **Room 60**.
- You must have **both the Report and the Card** in your inventory to succeed.
- Once you arrive at **Room 60**, the game will check if you’re carrying both items:
  - If you have them, you’ll receive the message:
    > **"Well done!" says H.M. "You've got the report AND the card! Good Record!" Congratulations on finishing the adventure!** [^1]
  - If you’re missing either item, you’ll face consequences like detention or expulsion [^1].

---

### **Step 4: Additional Tips**
1. **Avoid Dangerous Rooms**:
   - Some rooms (e.g., **Room 68 (The Disintegrator Room)**, **Room 83 (Window)**, **Room 91 (Out of the Window)**) result in instant death. Avoid them unless you have a specific item to survive (e.g., the **Antifreeze Crystal** for icy rooms).

2. **Useful Items**:
   - **Antifreeze Crystal (3)**: Required to survive the **Freeze Room (Room 113)**.
   - **Ladder (11)**: Needed to escape **Room 78 (Sixth Form Art Centre)**.

   - **Saverstrip (33)**: Used to interact with the **Bus (32)** in **Room 189 (Bus Station)**.

3. **Bus Mechanics**:
   - The **Bus (32)** can transport you between **Room 189 (Bus Station)** and **Room 221 (Bus Stop)**.
   - To use the bus:
     - You must have the **Saverstrip (33)** in your inventory.
     - Use the command `CATCH BUS` in **Room 189** or **Room 221** [^1].

4. **Swapping Items**:
   - Some rooms require you to **swap items** to progress:
     - In **Room 5 (Trendy Trevor's Games Office)**, swap the **Trousers (40)** for the **Antifreeze Crystal (3)**.
     - In **Room 18 (Mr. Furniss's Room)**, swap the **Kipper Tie (42)** for the **Trousers (40)**.

5. **Avoiding Traps**:
   - **Room 99 (Hugh's Torture Chamber)**: You must have the **Bone (12)** to escape.
   - **Room 54 (Jon the Cat)**: You must have the **Catfood (30)** to proceed south.
   - **Room 240 (Tom)**: You must have the **Toy Sheep (37)** to proceed east.

---

### **Step 5: Final Checks**
- Ensure you’re carrying:
  - **Report (14)**
  - **Card (29)**
- Navigate to **Room 60 (H.M.'s Office)**.
- The game will automatically check your inventory and congratulate you if you’ve succeeded [^1].

Tried again, telling it's written in GAC and asked whether this helps:

Code: Select all

Yes! Since **QEGS** was written in **GAC (Generic Adventure Creator)**, we can leverage its predictable structure to provide a **precise, room-by-room walkthrough** that guarantees completion. Below is a **full step-by-step solution**, optimized for GAC’s mechanics (e.g., item swaps, teleporters, and conditional exits).

---

### **Core Rules of GAC in QEGS**
1. **Inventory Limit**: You can carry **up to 6 items** at once. Drop unnecessary items with `DROP <item>`.
2. **Item Swaps**: Some rooms require trading one item for another (e.g., `SWAP TROUSERS` in Room 5).
3. **Teleporters**: Some rooms have hidden teleporters (e.g., `TELEPORT` in Room 100).
4. **Conditional Exits**: Some directions are blocked unless you have a specific item (e.g., `FEED CAT` in Room 54).
5. **Instant Death**: Avoid Rooms 68, 83, 91, and 1001.

---

### **Full Step-by-Step Walkthrough**
#### **Phase 1: Obtain the Antifreeze Crystal (Required for Freeze Room)**
1. **Start in Room 1 (Entrance Hall)**.
   - Go **EAST** to **Room 2 (Corridor)**.
2. **Room 2 (Corridor)** → Go **EAST** to **Room 18 (Mr. Furniss's Room)**.
3. **Room 18 (Mr. Furniss's Room)**:
   - Take the **Kipper Tie (42)**:
     ```
     GET TIE
     ```
   - Swap the **Kipper Tie** for the **Trousers (40)**:
     ```
     SWAP TIE
     ```
4. **Room 18** → Go **WEST** to **Room 2 (Corridor)**.
5. **Room 2** → Go **WEST** to **Room 1 (Entrance Hall)**.
6. **Room 1** → Go **NORTH** to **Room 5 (Trendy Trevor's Games Office)**.
7. **Room 5 (Trendy Trevor's Games Office)**:
   - Swap the **Trousers** for the **Antifreeze Crystal (3)**:
     ```
     SWAP TROUSERS
     ```
   - Now you have the **Antifreeze Crystal** (required for Room 113).

5.  **GET** the **Bone** (Room 87).
6.  **GIVE** the **Bone** to Hugh (Room 99).
7.  Go **South** through the **Freeze Room** (Room 113) (safe with Crystal).
8.  Navigate to the **Front Gate** (Room 122), then West to **Room 121**. **GET** the **Report**.
9.  Navigate to **Room 155** (via **Room 131** Teleport from **Room 43**). **GET** the **Card**.
10. Go to **Room 54** (Jon the Cat). **GO SOUTH** (requires **Catfood**).
11. Arrive at **Room 60** (H.M.'s Office). **YOU WIN.** [^1]

No big boasting, claims to have solved it. I have not verified the solution. What's interesting with this model is that it does expose its own internal "thinking" process which lead to the above output. That "thinking" shows a good level of strategy and "understanding". Can't fully post it, since it exceeds the maximum post size Therefore cut approximately at half.

Code: Select all

Alright, let's tackle this. The user wants a full step-by-step walkthrough of a text adventure written in GAC, based on the provided QEGS.txt file. First, I need to understand what's in this file.

Looking at the content from the ResearchAgent, the file contains various components of a text adventure game: local conditions, high and low priority conditions, messages, nouns, objects with their descriptions and start locations, room descriptions with connections, verbs, and synonyms. It's a database for a game engine (likely GAC - Graphic Adventure Creator) rather than a narrative walkthrough.

The key points from the file:
- The game is set in and around a school (QEGS - Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, based on context).
- It involves collecting items, solving puzzles, and avoiding death traps.
- The ultimate goal seems to be reaching the H.M. (Head Master) with both a "report" and a "card" to get a "Good Record" and win the game (High priority condition 1 and Message 42).
- There are many rooms (numbered from 1 to 244), each with descriptions and connections.
- Objects have specific start locations (e.g., Report in 121, Card in 155, Bone in 87, etc.).
- Specific actions in specific rooms are required to progress (e.g., swapping items, feeding animals, using items).

To create a walkthrough, I must reconstruct the flow of the game based on this data. I can't "play" it directly, but I can analyze the conditions and connections to deduce a likely optimal path.

Analysis of Key Game Elements:
1.  **Goal:** "You've got the report AND the card!" (Message 42). You need item 14 (REPORT) and item 29 (CARD).
    *   Condition High Priority 1 checks if you are at Room 60 and carrying both 14 and 29. If yes, you win.
2.  **Start Location:** The game doesn't explicitly state the start room in the snippets, but usually, it's Room 1. Room 1 is the Junior School Hall.
3.  **Crucial Items & Locations:**
    *   **REPORT (14):** Starts in Room 121.
    *   **CARD (29):** Starts in Room 155.
    *   **TROUSERS (40):** Start location 0 (usually means carried by player or nowhere initially, but look at conditions). Room 5 has a condition: IF VERB(30) AND NOUN(40) AND CARR(40) DROP(40) 40 SWAP 3 GET(3). This implies you can swap trousers for a crystal.
    *   **KIPPER TIE (42):** Starts in Room 205. Room 18 condition: He gives you trousers for the kipper tie.
    *   **CRYSTAL (3):** Antifreeze crystal. Obtained by swapping trousers in Room 5.
    *   **BONE (12):** Starts in Room 87.
    *   **FROGS LEGS (17):** Starts in Room 170.
    *   **LADDER (11):** Starts in Room 78. Needed to exit Room 78 (Sixth Form Art Centre - "only way out is east, but only with the ladder").
    *   **CATFOOD (30):** Starts in Room 241. Needed for Jon the Cat (Room 54) or Tom (Room 240/221).
    *   **LEAD (10):** Econet Lead. Starts in Room 77. Condition Room 77: IF VERB(8) AND NOUN(10) MESS(36) 10 TO 77 GET(10). You "take the lead".
    *   **SHEEP (37):** Starts in Room 206. Condition Room 240: "Tom takes the sheep."
    *   **COKE (31):** Starts in Room 178. Condition Low Priority 13: DRINK COKE -> DROP COKE.
    *   **ACID (6):** Starts in Room 30. Condition Low Priority 31: USE ACID ON NOUN(20) (Spray). "Hissssssss!! It gasses a nearby mouse."
    *   **SPRAY (20):** Can of Fungus Spray. Starts in Room 132.
    *   **TORCH (2):** Starts in Room 3.

4.  **Key Puzzle/Condition Breakdown:**
    *   **Room 54 (Jon the Cat):** Needs something to let you go south. Likely the CATFOOD (30). Condition Room 54: IF CARR(30) AND VERB(2) GOTO(60). Wait, VERB(2) is usually SOUTH. So if you carry catfood and go south at the cat, you go to Room 60 (HM's office). This seems like a potential fast route to the end, but you need the Report and Card first.
    *   **Room 189 (Bus Station):** Needs fare. Condition Room 189: IF CARR(33) AND VERB(27) AND NOUN(32) MESS(14) HOLD(200) GOTO(221).
        *   NOUN 32 is BUS.
        *   VERB 27 is CATCH.
        *   CARR 33 is SAVERSTRIP.
        *   So, if you have the Saverstrip, you can CATCH BUS to Room 221.
    *   **Room 221 (Bus Stop):** Needs fare? Room 221 condition: IF VERB(27) AND NOUN(32) AND NOT CARR(33) MESS(1) "How are you going to pay your fare?".
        *   Also Room 221: IF CARR(33) AND VERB(27) AND NOUN(32) ... GOTO(189). So you can travel back.
    *   **Room 99 (Hugh's Torture Chamber):** Needs BONE (12). Condition High Priority 9: IF AT(99) AND CARR(12) AND RES?(5)... 12 TO 0 SET(5). Hugh takes the bone and lets you pass (sets flag 5).
        *   High Priority 7: If AT 99 and NO BONE -> Death.
    *   **Room 60 (HM's Office):** The goal room. Requires REPORT (14) and CARD (29).
    *   **Room 113 (Freeze Room):** Needs ANTIFREEZE CRYSTAL (3). High Priority 6: If AT 113 and NOT CARR 3 -> Death "encased in a block of ice".
    *   **Room 78 (Sixth Form Art Centre):** Needs LADDER (11). "Only way out is east, but only with the ladder."
    *   **Room 157 (Ronnie R's Room):** Needs FROGS LEGS (17). Condition Room 157: IF CARR(17) AND VERB(1) GOTO(152).

5.  **Structuring the Walkthrough:**

    *   **Phase 1: Initial Exploration and Basic Equipment.**
        *   Start at **Room 1 (Junior School Hall)**.
        *   Get **TORCH (2)** from Room 3 (Backstage).
        *   Get **ACID (6)** from Room 30 (Intermediate Chem Lab).
        *   Get **TROUSERS (40):** Need to find these first? Or get the TIE, then exchange for TROUSERS?
            *   **Room 18 (Mr Furniss's Room):** He gives TROUSERS (40) for **KIPPER TIE (42)**.
            *   **KIPPER TIE (42)** is in Room 205 (Oxfam Appeal Room).
            *   So: Go to 205 -> Get Tie -> Go to 18 -> Give Tie -> Get Trousers.
        *   Get **CRYSTAL (3):** Go to **Room 5 (Trendy Trevor's)**. `SWAP TROUSERS`. You get the CRYSTAL.
    *   **Phase 2: Reaching the "Outside World" and Town.**
        *   To get to town (where the Oxfam shop is), you might need to get past the cat (Room 54) or go via the bus (Room 189).
        *   Let's check bus requirements. **SAVERSTRIP (33)** is needed for the bus. Starts in Room 216 (Info Office).
        *   Let's check cat requirements. **CATFOOD (30)** is needed. Starts in Room 240.
        *   The map connects the school areas (1-40ish) to the town areas (180+).
        *   It seems complex. Let's look at key "Gatekeepers".
        *   **Room 54 (Jon the Cat):** Needs Catfood. This leads to Room 60.
        *   **Room 157 (Ronnie R):** Needs Frogs Legs.
        *   **Room 99 (Hugh):** Needs Bone.
        *   **Room 113 (Freeze Room):** Needs Crystal.

    *   **Let's try to trace the path to the items.**

    *   **Path to KIPPER TIE (42) (Room 205):**
        *   From school (Room 1) to Town?
        *   Look at Room 124 is missing in the list... Wait, looking at connections.
        *   Rooms 1-62 are school.
        *   Rooms 63-91 are various labs/centres.
        *   Rooms 92-123 are CDT/Staff areas.
        *   Rooms 124 is missing in numbering, but 132 is Jason Cressey's study... Wait.
        *   Let's look at the "Teleport" connections.
        *   **Room 13** has Teleport to 7.
        *   **Room 24** has Teleport to 67.
        *   **Room 31** has Teleport to 9.
        *   **Room 36** has Transporter (teleport) to 51.
        *   **Room 38** has Teleport to 67.
        *   **Room 43** has Teleport to 131.
        *   **Room 67** is "Teleport Room One". Teleport to 38.
        *   **Room 131** is "Sixth Form Teleport Room". Teleport to 43.
        *   **Room 204** has Teleport to 4.
        *   **Room 231** has Teleport to 30.

        *   Okay, to get to the town (e.g., Room 205), you probably go via Room 221 (Bus Stop) or walk out the Front Gate (122).
        *   **Front Gate (122):** Exits N 120, S 217, E 123, W 121.
        *   From School (1-62) to Gate (122)?
        *   Map trace: 1 -> S 7 -> E 8 -> S 15 -> E 16? No.
        *   1 (South) -> 7.
        *   7 (East) -> 8.
        *   8 (East) -> 9.
        *   9 (East) -> 10.
        *   10 (East) -> 11.
        *   11 (East) -> 12.
        *   12 (North) -> 6 (College Grove Road).
        *   6 (East) -> 187 (Preen's Shop).
        *   187 (East) -> 188 (Subway).
        *   188 (East) -> 189 (Bus Station).
        *   189 (East) -> 190 (Outside Tesco).
        *   190 (East) -> 191 (Westgate).
        *   191 (South) -> 196 (Rooftop Gardens).
        *   196 (South) -> 201 (Casanova's).
        *   Wait, let's look for Room 205.
        *   Room 205 is Oxfam.
        *   Room 204 is Kirkgate. Connects to 205 East.
        *   Room 199 connects to 204 South.
        *   Room 198 connects to 199 West.
        *   Room 197 connects to 198 West.
        *   Room 196 connects to 197 South? No, 196 is Rooftop, S 201.
        *   Let's trace back.
        *   205 < - 204 < - 199 < - 198 < - 197 < - 202 < - 197? No.
        *   Let's follow the chain from School to Town.
        *   Path: 1 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9 -> 10 -> 11 -> 12 -> 6 -> 187 -> 188 -> 189.
        *   At 189, you are at the Bus Station. To proceed on foot: 189 (East) -> 190 -> 191 -> ...
        *   To get to 205 (Oxfam) which has the Kipper Tie:
        *   Let's check connections near 190.
        *   190 (South) -> 195 (JAT Records).
        *   195 (North) -> 190.
        *   195 (West) -> 194 (Bullring).
        *   194 (West) -> 193 (Mcwimpy's).
        *   193 (East) -> 194.
        *   193 (North) -> 188.
        *   Okay, getting to 205 seems to require passing through 204 (Kirkgate).
        *   204 (North) -> 199 (Cathedral).
        *   204 (East) -> 205.
        *   How to get to 204?
        *   204 (Teleport) -> 4. So if you find the teleport in 241, you get to 4 (Headmaster's Garden - forbidden). That might not help.
        *   Let's look at where 204 connects.
        *   Is there a gap in the numbers? 194 -> 195 -> 196 -> 201.
        *   It seems you can walk from the school gate (via 6, 187, 188, 189) into the town center (190+).
        *   Once in town:
        *   Start at 189 (Bus Station).
        *   Walk E to 190. S to 195. W to 194. N to 193. E to 194. S to 199. S to 204. E to 205.
        *   Wait, 199 connects to 204 (South).
        *   So path to Tie: 189 -> 190 -> 195 -> 194 -> 199 -> 204 -> 205.
        *   Action in 205: **GET TIE**.

    *   **Path to TROUSERS (40) (Exchange with Mr. Furniss in Room 18):**
        *   Now back to school to Room 18.
        *   Room 18 is connected to Room 17 (Db's Office).
        *   Path back to school?
        *   Teleport?
        *   Room 231 has Teleport to 30. Where is 231? The Cinema.
        *   Room 204 (Kirkgate) has Teleport to 4 (Headmaster's Garden - Room 4).
        *   Room 4 is "The Headmaster's Garden (Forbidden Territory)".
        *   Exits S 10, E 5, W 3.
        *   From 4, W 3 (Backstage). E 4. S 10.
        *   Room 10 is "The Drive".
        *   From 10, W 9. N 3. S 15. E 16. E 17. W 18.
        *   So: Use Teleport in 204 to go to 4.
        *   Then walk: 4 -> W 3. 3 -> N 2? No.
        *   Let's trace carefully.
        *   Target Room 18.
        *   From 4: W 3 (Backstage).
        *   From 3: W 2 (Gym). S 8. W 7. N 1. S 7. E 8. E 9. E 10. E 11. N 5. W 4. S 10? No.
        *   From 11: N 5. E 12. N 6...
        *   Let's look at Room 17. Exits N 11, E 18, W 16.
        *   So to get to 18, you need to get to 17 first.
        *   To get to 17:
        *   From 16 (Yard), E 17.
        *   To get to 16:
        *   From 15 (Dining Hall Lobby), E 16.
        *   To get to 15:
        *   From 9 (QE Hall), S 15.
        *   To get to 9:
        *   From 8 (Passage), E 9.
        *   From 8, you can come from 7 (Junior School) E 8.
        *   Or 2 (Gym) N 8.
        *   Or 3 (Backstage) E 9? No, 3 -> E 4, S 9? No. 3 -> S 9.
        *   Okay, path from Teleport 4:
        *   4 -> W 3.
        *   3 -> S 9.
        *   9 -> S 15.
        *   15 -> E 16.
        *   16 -> E 17.
        *   17 -> E 18.
        *   Action in 18: **GIVE TIE** (implies use verb GIVE or similar? Or just interaction?). Condition: "Mr Furniss... will only give you the trousers for the kipper tie."
        *   In text adventures, this usually means `GIVE TIE TO FURNISS` or just `DROP TIE` if he's there.
        *   Wait, noun 42 is Kipper Tie. Noun 40 is Trousers.
        *   Is there a specific verb? The condition is in Room 18 data provided: "He's not in a good mood today, and will only give you the trousers for the kipper tie."
        *   This implies a conditional check. There is no explicit code snippet provided for this exchange (unlike the swap in Room 5). However, standard GAC logic would be `IF CARR(42) AND VERB(GIVE) ... DROP(42) GET(40)`. Since I don't see the specific code for this transaction in the snippet (Room 18 snippet is empty in the "Local conditions" section, only description provided), I have to infer the action is standard "Give".
        *   Result: Get **TROUSERS (40)**.

    *   **Path to CRYSTAL (3) (Room 5):**
        *   From 18 (W 17).
        *   From 17 (N 11).
        *   From 11 (N 5).
        *   Action in 5: **SWAP TROUSERS**.
        *   Condition Room 5: IF VERB(30) AND NOUN(40) AND CARR(40) DROP(40) 40 SWAP 3 GET(3).
        *   Verb 30 is SWAP.
        *   Result: Get **ANTIFREEZE CRYSTAL (3)**.

    *   **Path to LADDER (11) (Room 78):**
        *   Room 78 is the "Sixth Form Art Centre". You fall through a hole. Need Ladder to exit.
        *   Where is Ladder? Starts in Room 78? Wait, Object 11: "A ladder... Start 78".
        *   Wait, if it starts in 78, and you are in 78, you can just pick it up. Then you can leave.
        *   But "You've fallen through a hole in the floor..." implies you might *start* there or teleport there?
        *   Actually, maybe you don't need to "go" there to get the ladder if it spawns there.
        *   However, you need the ladder to *use* it if you are in 78.
        *   Is there another way to get to 78?
        *   Room 77 (Broken BBC Micro Store). Exits N 70, E 78.
        *   So go to 77, then E 78. Get Ladder. Then you can leave 78 (E).
        *   So how to get to 77?
        *   From 76 (Computer Centre Main Room). E 77.
        *   How to get to 76?
        *   From 84 (Another part of computer centre). N 77? No.
        *   84 Exits: N 77, S 91, E 85, W 83.
        *   So 84 -> N 77.
        *   How to get to 84?
        *   From 77? Circular.
        *   From 83 (Ouch! Window).
        *   Check connections to 84.
        *   Maybe 85? 85 E 86, S 92, W 84.
        *   92 is "Outside the Black Hole". N 85.
        *   92 connects to 81?
        *   81 (Black Hole). E 94, S 100, W 92.
        *   Let's look for a path from the "Main" school map (Rooms 1-60) to this area (70+).
        *   Room 67 (Teleport Room One). Teleport 38.
        *   Room 38 (Computer Centre).
        *   From 38:
        *   Exits N 32, W 37, TEL 67.
        *   Room 76 is "Computer Centre Main Room". Exits E 77, W 75.
        *   Can you get to 76 from 38?
        *   No direct link.
        *   Let's look at Teleports.
        *   Room 24 (Corridor) TEL 67.
        *   Room 31 (Music Centre) TEL 9.
        *   Room 36 (Chem Lecture) TEL 51.
        *   Room 43 (Sixth Form Territory) TEL 131.
        *   Room 131 (Sixth Form Teleport Room) TEL 43.
        *   Room 38 (Computer Centre) TEL 67.
        *   Room 67 (Teleport Room One) TEL 38.
        *   This creates loops.
        *   Okay, look at how to get to Room 78 (Sixth Form Art Centre) where the Ladder is.
        *   Via Room 77.
        *   Room 77 is "Broken BBC Micro Store".
        *   Room 76 connects to 77.
        *   Room 75 (Corridor) connects to 76.
        *   Room 74 (Corridor) connects to 75.
        *   Room 67 connects to 74 (S 74).
        *   Ah! **Room 67** is the hub for this section.
        *   Path: Start at 1.
        *   Go to Room 24?
        *   1 -> 7 -> 8 -> 2 (Gym) -> ?
        *   1 -> 7 -> 8 -> 2? No.
        *   1 -> 7 -> 8 -> 15? No.
        *   Let's find path to Room 24.
        *   Room 13 (Staff Toilets). Exits E 14, S 19, TEL 7.
        *   Room 14 (Staff Room). W 13.
        *   Room 19 (Dining Hall). N 13.
        *   Path: 1 -> 7 -> 8? No.
        *   1 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9 -> 15 -> 13.
        *   1 (South) -> 7. 7 (East) -> 8. 8 (East) ->? 8 connects to 9 North?
        *   8: N 2, W 7, E 9. Yes. 8 -> E 9.
        *   9: N 3, W 8, S 15, E 10.
        *   9 -> S 15.
        *   15: N 9, E 16, S 21?
        *   Wait, 15 is Lobby. 19 is Dining Hall.
        *   Let's check 15 description: "Peas litter the floor... entrances lead north, east and south."
        *   Wait, 15 connects to 19? No, listed text says 15 -> N 9, E 16, S 21.
        *   Let's check 19 connections: N 13. E 20? S 25.
        *   How to get to 19 then?
        *   Room 13 (Staff Toilets) connects to 19 (Dining Hall) N.
        *   Room 13 connects to Room 7 via Teleport.
        *   Okay, go to 7 (Junior School). Is there a teleport there? No, 13 TEL 7.
        *   So get to 13.
        *   Path to 13:
        *   Room 1 (South) -> 7.
        *   Room 7 (East) -> 8.
        *   Room 8 (East) -> 9.
        *   Room 9 (South) -> 15.
        *   Room 15 (East) -> 16.
        *   Room 16 (East) -> 17.
        *   Room 17 (East) -> 18.
        *   Room 18 (West) -> 17.
        *   Room 17 (West) -> 16.
        *   From 16? Exits E 17, W 15.
        *   From 17? Exits N 11, E 18, W 16.
        *   Let's look at Room 19 (Dining Hall). N 13.
        *   We need to get to 13.
        *   From 13, E 14 (Staff Room).
        *   Maybe we backtrack.
        *   15 -> S 21.
        *   21 -> S 27.
        *   27 -> S 33.
        *   33 -> S 38? No.
        *   Let's look at the map more globally.
        *   There's a room 231 (Cinema) with Teleport to 30.
        *   Let's assume the Ladder is just a side objective or needed for a specific room.
        *   Actually, let's look at the Report (14) and Card (29). These are mandatory.
        *   **REPORT (14):** Room 121.
        *   **CARD (29):** Room 155.
        *   Accessing these rooms requires navigating the map.
        *   **Room 121 (Porter's Office):** E 122.
        *   **Room 155 (A Corridor):** N 150, E 156, S 163.
        *   From 155, you can go E 156 (Weapons Room). S 164 (Room A8). W 155.
        *   So the map is connected.

    *   **Revised Walkthrough Structure:**

    1.  **Start at Room 1 (Junior School Hall).**
    2.  **Go to Room 3 (Backstage).** (1->S7->E8->E9->S15->E16->E17->W18? No. 1->S7->E8->W7? No. 1->S7->E8->E9? Yes. 9->N3. 3 is Backstage).
        *   *Correction:* 1 (South) -> 7. 7 (East) -> 8. 8 (East) -> 9. 9 (North) -> 3.
        *   In Room 3: **GET TORCH (2)**.
    3.  **Go to Room 30 (Intermediate Chem Lab).**
        *   Need path to 30.
        *   30 is connected to 24 (North) and 36 (South).
        *   24 is Corridor. W 23, S 30, TEL 67.
        *   Path to 24?
        *   From 23 (Matron's Office). E 24, W 22.
        *   From 22 (Spilsbury Room). E 23, W 21.
        *   From 21 (Yard). N 15, E 22, W 20, S 27.
        *   Path: 1->S7->E8->E9->S15->S21->E22->E23->E24.
        *   In Room 24, S 30.
        *   In Room 30: **GET ACID (6)**.
    4.  **Go to Room 132 (Jason Cressey's Study).**
        *   132 connects to 126 (North) and 133 (East).
        *   126 is Corridor. S 132.
        *   Where is 126?
        *   Is it a teleport hub? No listed teleport.
        *   Maybe from the town?
        *   Let's leave 132 for a moment and focus on the KIPPER TIE loop which we figured out earlier (Town -> School).
        *   We need the Tie (Room 205) to get the Trousers (Room 18) to get the Crystal (Room 5).

    *   **Phase 1: The Kipper Tie Quest**
        *   **Current Location:** Room 30 (Chem Lab).
        *   **Goal:** Room 205 (Oxfam).
        *   **Route back to School Entrance:** 30 -> N 24 -> W 23 -> W 22 -> W 21 -> N 15 -> W 9 -> W 8 -> W 7 -> N 1.
        *   **Exit School:** 1 -> S 7 -> E 8 -> E 9 -> E 10 -> E 11 -> E 12 -> N 6.
        *   **Walk to Town:** 6 -> E 187 -> E 188 -> E 189.
        *   **Navigate to Oxfam:** 189 -> E 190 -> S 195 -> W 194 -> N 188? No.
        *   Wait, let's re-verify the town map.
        *   189 (Bus Station).
        *   190 (Outside Tesco).
        *   191 (Westgate).
        *   193 (Mcwimpy's).
        *   194 (Bullring).
        *   195 (JAT Records).
        *   196 (Rooftop).
        *   199 (Cathedral).
        *   204 (Kirkgate).
        *   Connections:
            *   189: E 190, S 194, W 188.
            *   190: W 189, S 195, E 191.

            *   199: N 194, W 198, S 204.
        *   **Path to 205:**
            *   Start 189.
            *   E 190. S 195. W 194. N 189... Loop.
            *   Try: 189 -> E 190 -> S 195 -> W 194.
            *   From 194: S 199.
            *   From 199: S 204.
            *   From 204: E 205.
            *   **Action in 205:** **GET KIPPER TIE (42)**.
        *   **Return to School:**
            *   Teleport in 204 (Kirkgate) goes to Room 4 (Headmaster's Garden).
            *   Teleport from 204 to 4.
            *   Now in 4.
            *   Path to Room 18 (Mr Furniss):
            *   4 -> W 3 (Backstage).
            *   3 -> S 9 (QE Hall).
            *   9 -> S 15 (Lobby).
            *   15 -> E 16 (Yard).
            *   16 -> E 17 (Db's Office).
            *   17 -> E 18 (Mr Furniss's Room).
            *   **Action in 18:** **GIVE TIE** (or equivalent). Get **TROUSERS (40)**.
            *   **Path to Room 5 (Trevor's Games Office):**
            *   18 -> W 17 -> N 11 -> N 5.
            *   **Action in 5:** **SWAP TROUSERS**.
            *   Get **ANTIFREEZE CRYSTAL (3)**.

    *   **Phase 2: Preparing for the Cold and the Cat**
        *   We have the Crystal (needed for Room 113).
        *   We need to get to Room 60 (HM's Office) with the Report and Card.
        *   HM's Office (60) is accessible from Jon the Cat (Room 54) if you have Catfood (30).
        *   Do we have Catfood? No.
        *   Catfood is in Room 240.
        *   **Goal:** Get **CATFOOD (30)** from Room 240.
        *   **Path to Room 240:**
            *   Room 240 is connected to 235 (North) and 239 (West).
            *   235 is Cinema.
            *   239 is Cinema.
            *   We are in Room 5 (Games Office).
            *   Path: 5 -> S 11 -> W 10 -> W 9 -> W 8 -> W 7 -> N 1... No.
            *   Let's look for a teleport to the Cinema area.
            *   Room 241 has Teleport to 30 (Chem Lab)? No, Room 231 has Teleport to 30.
            *   Room 231 is "The Cinema".
            *   Wait, Cinema rooms are 207-241.
            *   Is there a teleport from School to Cinema?
            *   Room 38 (Computer Centre) TEL 67.
            *   Room 67 (Teleport Room One) TEL 38.
            *   Room 242 (The Lift) connects to 215 (Car Park).
            *   Let's trace from Room 231.
            *   231 North -> 226.
            *   226 South -> 230? No.
            *   Let's try to walk from 5 to 231.
            *   This seems like a long trek across the map.
            *   Is there a shortcut?
            *   Room 242 (The Lift) connects to 215 (The Lifts).
            *   215 (The Lifts) connects to 210 (Car Park).
            *   210 (The Lifts)? No, 210 is Car Park.
            *   Let's look at 231 connections.
            *   Maybe we should focus on the **REPORT (14)** and **CARD (29)** which are *required* to win.
            *   We are getting bogged down in the transport logistics without the full map in front of me.
            *   Let's list the locations of key items again:
                *   REPORT (14): Room 121.
                *   CARD (29): Room 155.
                *   BONE (12): Room 87.
                *   CATFOOD (30): Room 240.
                *   SHEEP (37): Room 206. (Tom needs sheep).
                *   CRYSTAL (3): Obtained via Swap in Room 5 (Have this).
            *   We need to visit 121 and 155.
            *   Let's find the path to 121.
            *   Room 121 is Porter's Office. E 122 (Front Gate).
            *   So 121 is just inside the Front Gate.
            *   **Path to 121:**
                *   We are in Room 5.
                *   5 -> S 11 -> E 12.
                *   12 is "The Fields". Exit W 11, N 6.
                *   We need to get to 121.
                *   122 is Front Gate.
                *   From 122, W 121.
                *   How to get to 122?
                *   From 6 (College Grove Rd), we need to turn?
                *   6 Exits: S 12, E 187.
                *   If we go S 12, we are in 12 (Fields). W 11. N 5. S 11. E 12.
                *   Wait, 11 is Fields. 12 is Fields.
                *   Check 12 connections: W 11, N 6.
                *   Check 11 connections: N 5, E 12, S 17, W 10.
                *   Check 5 connections: W 4, S 11.
                *   So we are in the "Fields" loop.
                *   Where is the Front Gate (122)?
                *   Look at the map numbers.
                *   122 is surrounded by 120 (Rose Beds), 217 (Patel's Shop), 123 (Rose Bed), 121 (Porter's).
                *   Where is 120? N 118.
                *   118 (Statue). N 116. S 120.
                *   Where is 116? N 112.
                *   Where is 112? Cleaning Cupboard. N 105. S 116. E 111. W 113.
                *   Where is 105? Toilets. E 106. S 112. W 104.
                *   Where is 106? Secondary Power Generator. N 99. S 113. E 107. W 105.
                *   Where is 99? Hugh's Torture Chamber.
                *   This section (99-123) seems to be the "CDT/Streets" area.
                *   To get to 121, we must enter this area.
                *   Is there a connection from the school (1-60) to this area?
                *   Room 43 (Sixth Form Territory) has Teleport to 131.
                *   Room 131 (Sixth Form Teleport Room) has Teleport to 43.
                *   Room 43 is accessed from 37 (CDT Block) or 49 (Biology Lab) or 44 (Sixth Form Centre).
                *   37 is accessed from 31 (Music Centre) etc.
                *   Okay, let's go from Room 5.
                *   5 -> S 11 -> E 12 -> N 6.
                *   6 -> E 187 (Preen's Shop).
                *   187 -> E 188 (Subway).
                *   188 -> E 189 (Bus Station).
                *   Wait, earlier I said 6 leads to town. Correct.
                *   But 121 looks like it's near the school gate but in a different sector.
                *   Let's check connections to 122 (Front Gate).
                *   Maybe from 64 (1892 Building)? S 64? No.
                *   Maybe from 59 (General Office)? N 53, W 58.
                *   58 is "Outside 1892". E 59, S 64.
                *   59 is "General Office".
                *   53 is Corridor. N 47, E 54, S 59.
                *   47 is Library. N 41, S 53.
                *   41 is Corridor. W 40, E 42, S 47.
                *   40 is Room 21a.
                *   42 is Corridor. S 48.
                *   48 is Corridor. N 42, S 54.
                *   54 is Jon the Cat.
                *   Okay, we are getting closer to a map mental model.
                *   The school is Rooms 1-62ish.
                *   The labs/arts are 63-95ish.
                *   The "Outer Ring" (St streets, shops) is 96-126ish.
                *   To get to 121 (Porter's), you must navigate the outer ring.
                *   The transition point is likely Room 43 (Sixth Form Territory) or Room 54 (Jon the Cat) or Room 67 (Teleport).
                *   Let's assume a linear progression for the walkthrough.
                *   Current State: Room 5. Have CRYSTAL.
                *   **Go to Room 54 (Jon the Cat).**
                *   Path: 5 -> S 11 -> W 10 -> W 9 -> W 8 -> W 7 -> N 1? No.
                *   Go to Room 1.
                *   From 1, how to get to 54?
                *   1 -> S 7 -> E 8 -> E 9 -> S 15 -> S 21 -> E 22 -> E 23 -> E 24.
                *   24 -> S 30.
                *   30 -> S 36.
                *   36 -> TEL 51 (Transporter).
                *   51 is Room B4. W 50, S 57.
                *   50 is Maths Lab. W 49.
                *   49 is Biology Lab. N 43.
                *   43 is Sixth Form Territory. N 37, S 49, E 44, TEL 131.
                *   From 43, can we get to 54?
                *   No obvious link.
                *   Let's check 131 (Teleport Room).
                *   131 TEL 43. W 130.
                *   130 is Corridor. E 131, S 136, W 129.
                *   129 is Corridor. E 130, S 135.
                *   135 is Corridor. E 136, W 134.
                *   136 is Empty Room. N 130, S 142, W 135.
                *   142 is Room A15. N 136, S 147.
                *   147 is Cleaning Cupboard. N 142, S 152.
                *   152 is Store. N 147, S 157, W 151.
                *   157 is Ronnie R's Room. Needs Frogs Legs (17).
                *   We are heading to the "Store/Materials" area.
                *   Where is 54 (Jon the Cat)?
                *   54 connects to 53 and 48.
                *   53 connects to 47 and 59.
                *   We passed 53 earlier when looking at the "Staff/Lab" area (24->13->14? No).
                *   53 connects to 47 (Library), 54 (Cat), 59 (Office).
                *   47 connects to 41 and 53.
                *   41 connects to 40, 42, 47.
                *   40 connects to 34.
                *   34 connects to 33.
                *   33 connects to 32, 27.
                *   27 connects to 21.
                *   21 connects to 15.
                *   15 connects to 9.
                *   9 connects to 3.
                *   So, 54 is accessible via 53 -> 47 -> 41 -> 40 -> 34 -> 33 -> 32 -> ... eventually back to the main school hall.
                *   Let's verify: 54 (West) -> 53 (North) -> 47 (North) -> 41 (West) -> 40 (South) -> 34 (West) -> 33 (North) -> 27 (North) -> 21 (North) -> 15 (North) -> 9 (North) -> 3.
                *   Yes, this connects back to the school.
                *   So, **Path to Jon the Cat (54):**
                    *   From Room 5 (Games Office).
                    *   N 11 -> E 12 -> N 6 -> E 187? No.
                    *   Use the internal pathway.
                    *   From 5 (S 11, W 10, W 9, N 3).
                    *   3 (S 9).
                    *   9 (S 15).
                    *   15 (S 21).
                    *   21 (W 20? S 27).
                    *   27 (N 21, S 33, E 28, W 26).
                    *   Let's take the path to 33.
                    *   27 (S 33).
                    *   33 (E 34).
                    *   34 (S 40).
                    *   40 (N 34, E 41).
                    *   41 (W 40, E 42, S 47).
                    *   47 (N 41, S 53).
                    *   53 (E 54).
                    *   Now at **Jon the Cat (54)**.
        *   **Action at Jon the Cat:**
            *   Needs **CATFOOD (30)**.
            *   We don't have it. It's in Room 240.
            *   We cannot pass to 60 (HM's Office) cat-free.
            *   So we must get the Catfood first.
            *   This breaks the linearity. We probably need the Catfood to win quickly, or we take a different path.
            *   But condition for winning is being at 60 with Report and Card.
            *   Getting Catfood requires going to Room 240.
            *   Let's check the connection to 240.
            *   240 is in the "Cinema" complex (200+).
            *   Teleports?
            *   Room 231 (Cinema) TEL 30.
            *   We are in Room 30 (Chem Lab) earlier.
            *   We need to get to 231.
            *   If we can get to 231, we teleport to 30.
            *   From 30, we are close to the 24 corridor which leads to 54.
            *   So: Find 231 -> Teleport to 30 -> Go to 24 -> Go to 54.
            *   How to get to 231?
            *   231 is connected to 226 (North), 230 (South), 236 (West).
            *   226 is connected to 225 (West), 233 (East).
            *   225 is connected to 226 (East), 230 (South).
            *   It seems like a maze.
            *   Aha! **Room 242 (The Lift)** connects to 215 (Car Park). 215 connects to 210 (Lifts). 210 connects to 242 (Lift).
            *   Wait, 210 connects to 242?
            *   210 (Car Park) Exits: S 215.
            *   215 (The Lifts) Exits: N 210, S 220, E 216, U 242.
            *   242 (The Lift) Exits: E 243, D 215.
            *   This loop (210-215-242) connects to the outside?
            *   215 (East) -> 216 (Info Office).
            *   216 (South) -> 221 (Bus Stop).
            *   221 (North) -> 216, (West) -> 220 (Burger Bar).
            *   220 (North) -> 215, (East) -> 221.
            *   We can get to 221 (Bus Stop).
            *   From 221, we go West?
            *   From the town map earlier, 221 is connected to 220 (W) and 216 (N).
            *   220 connects to 215.
            *   It seems we are now in the "Town" area, but this specific loop is a "Cinema/Car Park" enclave?
            *   Wait, 216 (Info Office) is near the Lifts.
            *   From 216, can we walk to the Cinema 231?
            *   216 -> S 221.
            *   221 -> N 216, W 220.
            *   220 -> N 215.
            *   215 -> E 216.
            *   This is a dead end loop unless there's a hidden exit or I missed a connection.
            *   Let's check **Room 243 (Car Park)**. Exits E 244, W 242.
            *   244 (Second Car Park). W 243.
            *   Dead end.
            *   **Wait, let's look for a teleport OUT.**
            *   Is there a teleport in 216, 221, 220, 215?
            *   No.
            *   Is there a teleport in 213, 212, 207?
            *   207 (Cinema Entrance). N 202, E 208, S 212.
            *   212 (Projection Room). N 207, E 213.
            *   213 (Cinema). N 208, S 218, E 214, W 212.
            *   This suggests the Cinema is a big map.
            *   To enter the Cinema map from the outside, look at 202 (Cinema Entrance).
            *   202 (North) -> 197 (Swimming Pool).
            *   197 (East) -> 198 (Chop Suey).
            *   198 -> 199 (Cathedral).
            *   199 -> S 204 (Kirkgate).
            *   So from the town center (199, 204), you can go to 197, then 202 (Cinema).
            *   From 202, go into the Cinema rooms to find 240.
            *   So, **Path to Catfood (240):**
                *   Current location: Room 5.
                *   Path to Town Center (204 Kirkgate): Use Teleport in Room 4 (Headmaster's Garden) which is accessible from Room 3 (Backstage).
                *   We visited Room 4 earlier to get the Tie.
                *   So: Go to Room 4 (via 1-7-8-9-3-W).
                *   Teleport from 4 to 204.
                *   Walk: 204 (N) -> 199 (W) -> 198 (W) -> 197 (S) -> 202.
                *   Enter Cinema: 202 -> E 208 -> S 213 -> S 218 -> S 223 -> E 224 -> S 229 -> W 228 -> S 233 -> E 234 -> S 238 -> E 239 -> N 235 -> S 236? No.
                *   240 is a dead end room.
                *   240 Exits: N 235, W 239.
                *   235 (N) -> 231. (S) -> 236. (E) -> 236. (W) -> 234.
                *   239 (N) -> 234. (E) -> 240. (W) -> 238.
                *   So path to 240: ... 239 -> E 240.
                *   Action in 240: **GET CATFOOD (30)**.
                *   In 240, there is Tom. "Tom is there, and he won't let you go east if you don't have something for him!" (Message from room description).
                *   We need to bribe Tom.
                *   Item **SHEEP (37)** is in Room 206.
                *   Condition Room 240: Implicit? Room description says "won't let you go east".
                *   Wait, Room 240 description says "Exits: North and west.".
                *   But I need to get the Catfood *in* the room?
                *   Object 30 (Catfood) "Start 241".
                *   Ah! The Catfood is in **Room 241**, not 240.
                *   Room 240 connects to 241?
                *   Let's check 241 connections.
                *   Room 241 (The Cinema). Exits N 236, W 240.
                *   Wait, if 241 connects to 240 (N?), but 240's exits are N, W.
                *   If 240 connects to 241, it's not listed in 240's exits.
                *   Maybe a hidden door or one-way?
                *   But 241 "Exits North and west."
                *   Actually, if I am in 240, and 241 is "The Cinema", maybe I can't get to 241.
                *   However, Object 30 starts in 241.
                *   Let's check Room 241 Local Condition: "1 IF ( CARR ( 37 ) AND VERB ( 3 ) ) MESS ( 2 ) DROP ( 37 ) 37 TO 0 HOLD ( 200 ) GOTO ( 241 ) END"
                *   This code snippet seems to be misplaced or refers to a different flow in the source.
                *   Wait, "GOTO ( 241 )" implies you arrive at 241?
                *   And "DROP ( 37 )". So if you have the Sheep (37) and use a verb (3 = EAST?), you go to 241 and lose the sheep?
                *   Let's re-read Room 240 description.
                *   "Tom is there, and he won't let you go east if you don't have something for him!"
                *   Maybe "East" from 240 leads to 241?
                *   If so, the condition is missing from the "Exits" list but implied by the description.
                *   The condition might be: If CARR(37) (Sheep), go East to 241.
                *   We have the Sheep (37)? It starts in 206.
                *   So we need the Sheep first.
                *   **Path to Sheep (37):**
                    *   Current location: Trying to get to 241.
                    *   Sheep is in 206 (Oxfam Appeal Room).
                    *   Wait, the **Kipper Tie (42)** was in Room 205 (Oxfam).
                    *   Room 206 is connected to 205 (East, South).
                    *   205 (East) -> 206.
                    *   So we are back in Oxfam territory!
                    *   We were there in Phase 1.
                    *   We picked up the Tie. We didn't pick up the Sheep.
                    *   **Action:** Go back to 206. **GET SHEEP (37)**.
            *   **Back to Tom (Room 240):**
                *   Go back to 240. We have the Sheep.
                *   Action: **GO EAST** (or equivalent).
                *   Passage to 241.
                *   **Action in 241:** **GET CATFOOD (30)**.

The usual caveats of LLM usage obviously applies.

When I fed one of my own games, decompiled Z-Code, to the same models, some immediately returned a perfect and well annotated walkthrough. But when I quizzed them about alternate endings (which are in the game), they steadfastedly claimed there is no evidence of any. I studied what they had actually done in more detail and found they had cheated, extracted the game title from the disassembly, downloaded an existing solution from the IF Archive, and reproduced it with nicer formatting and some comments.

I then cut the models' Internet access to insist they only answer based on the disassembly. As mentioned, all exceeded their memory limits. I trimmed the disassembly. The answers differed wildly. Some just admitted not to be able to do much with this and provided generic hints how to play a text adventure. One model (Mistral) notably pretended to provide a walkthrough, listing tasks which were vaguely related to the real game's locations and objects, but in fact, it was all made-up nonsense. The model had "guessed" the game's themes and constructed a somewhat logical flow of events based on these themes and the available objects, but this was not at all what actually must be done in the game. It even hallucinated entering a location which clearly cannot be entered and performing actions there. When I challenged in the next prompt that this looks made up, it admitted this. But the first response was very confidently written, pretending this was based on the actual game.

This one comes from Z.ai's "GLM":

It fails fairly quickly as you cannot teleport from the headmaster's garden (location 4) to location 204. You can do it the other way around, but.

[Mr Creosote]

Well, then we can conclude: all the models I tried failed

[iamaran]

I'm surprised that a model made an assumption.
