specific errors with TADS under Rapper

Authoring TADS
1

Bob is about to put the ball on the table. One specific and clear error, which is apparently an error in TADS, is that the ball, being put on the table, ends up in the large box that’s on the table.

Then, when you take that box, the ball stays on the table. An error with the lister or something.

Here is the transcript, from the moment Bob enters the room and puts the ball on the table. Bob’s raptrace is on:

[rant]Bob enters from the south.

Now that’s a TADS error, from what I can tell. There are also Rapper errors, or at least cases where RAP fails to fail gracefully, that I’ll post in the hopes someone can help me unravel where the bugs are.

The RAP-specific transcript, which cuts off at the time Bob completes his mission. Most notably, when Bob has an empty plan, nothing happens… which is fine, but there are times when Bob has an empty plan when it seems to a human that his problems are solveable.

Also, when Bob does things successfully in full view, those actions are not reported to the player. Thus when Bob puts the ball on the table, he just seems to be standing there. Nothing evident has happened at all.

I’m still learning all this.

This is a simple testbed for RAP (Reactive Agent Planner) version 1.2 for TADS 3.

The game is a simple map of a small apartment. There’s a key in the kitchen, another in the bathroom cabinet, and a ball locked in a lockbox in the bedroom closet (also locked).

There is one RAP-enabled actor, a dog named Rupert, who starts in the living room with you, the player. His primary goal is to get the ball and put it on the kitchen table. As the planbase is not sophisticated, Rupert has perfect knowledge of the state and location of all objects at all times.

This test map is trivial, but it does demonstrate a RAP actor’s ability to react to game events - Rupert will begin by seeking two keys, one for the closet door, the other for the lockbox; if you get the keys, he will ask you for them and follow you. [In this version of the testgame, the PC is also a RAP-enabled actor, and will automatically give items asked for; this is just for testing and probably not good default behavior.] If you unlock the obstacles yourself he will ignore the keys and go straight for the ball. If you have the ball he will follow you, and ask you for it. If he gets the ball, he will give it to you; then he will ask for it back.

Test: the player is also a RAP-enabled actor, and is programmed to automatically accept Rupert’s request for items.

The debugging spell >RAPTRACE RUPERT will let you read Rupert’s thought processes. (The verb is only available in debug mode.)

Test: Rupert is temporarily disabled, in favor of Bob, who is designed to test t3knowledge and t3rapOrder.

You can’t go that way. Obvious exits lead north, back to the living room; and west, to the bedroomcloset.

I’m not seeing the error. I don’t see a line where the ball ends up in the box. It all seems very straightforward to me. (1) The ball is on the table, where I gather it belongs, because Bob has just put it there. (2) You take the ball, and then put it back on the table. (3) You take the big box and drop it on the floor. (4) You take the ball again and put it back on the table, where it was. (5) You undo putting the ball on the table. You are now holding the ball. (6) You look, and then undo that action. (7) Rewinding backwards, you now undo taking the ball OFF of the table. The ball is now on the table, and the big box is on the floor. No, there’s no error there.

Those are my notes on the first transcript. The second one I’m not even going to look at, because I’ve never used RAP and have no idea what you’re doing with it.

No, you’re right, Jim. I’m misreading the containment parens, as if the outer set represented the containment of the big box. My error.
