very interesting. might i inquire as to how you went about this? did you
add
an extra facing_description into the room struct? or did you pull it out
of
the exit description?(i guess thats a bit much)
i have implemented walk_in, walk_out and cant_walk descriptions i
suppose adding
a facing_descript would be the simplest way.
i have mine set up so if they type left, they actually move in that
direction.
i take it, yours just turned them and kept them in the same place?
i had thought about this and opted to move them, but how that i see it
the way
you typed it, i kinda like it better. or perhaps i could do both.
