Mini-Cluedo
A Loose Specification for a Tiny IF Demo
A murder has been committed, and it’s up to the player to solve it!
The game must involve:
- Three or more rooms, which the player can move freely between
- This can involve compass directions, GO TO, or whatever means of movement is most appropriate
- Three or more suspects, who move independently between the rooms
- They can move at random or on a fixed path, but must visit every room, and must move independently (i.e. not always staying together)
- At the beginning of the game, one room is randomly chosen as the crime scene, and one suspect randomly chosen as the murderer
- The player can search their current room to determine whether or not it is the crime scene
- The player can question any suspect in their current room to determine whether or not they are the murderer
- The player can accuse any suspect in their current room
- If they accuse the murderer, at the crime scene, they win!
- Otherwise, they lose
- The player can wait or otherwise allow time to pass, to get the right suspects in the right rooms
That seem appropriate? Not too specific, not too vague?
