here’s my code I am also using the telephone extention from here http://inform7.com/extensions/George%20Tryfonas/Telephones/source.html
Judy is a woman. The office phone is a telephone. The calling number of the office phone is 2345. The owner of the office phone is Judy.
Before telling Judy about something: try asking about something instead.
Before answering Judy that something: say “Best to confine your conversation to questions and answeres.” instead.
Before asking Judy about something: if the topic understood is a topic listed in the Table of Conversation, say “[reply entry] [paragraph break]” instead;
otherwise say “[the noun] does not reply.” instead.
After asking Judy about [topic in row 1 of the Table of Conversation]: award 10 points; say “(work safely avoided)”;
Table of Conversation
topic reply
“work /missing /absent /missing work” “‘Sure I’ll tell Mrs. Stark you won’t be in today. Enjoy your day off.’ says Judy in a pleasant tone.”
“leaving” “‘If you want to leave, you would need to give your 3 weeks notice. I have the paper right here but I would be sad to see you go.’ says Judy.”
I’m having trouble with two things
one I can only talk about missing work, not work, missing, or absent,
this might be a formatting problem how are you supposed to get tables to look properly, What is inform looking for when it determines the end of a row or column
and two
the after asking Judy about, doesn’t work, the code is understandable but nothing happens.
This would be a big help
