Notre avis

Cette compétence définit des passages de navigation entre les pièces d'un palais de la mémoire, en utilisant une topologie de menu en tarte pour encoder la direction et des gardes pour contrôler l'accès.

Points forts

Structure de navigation intuitive avec directions cardinales et diagonales
Système de garde flexible supportant conditions naturelles et code
Types d'exits variés (simples, gardés, cachés, à sens unique, métaphysiques)

Limites

Nécessite une compréhension de la topologie du palais de la mémoire
Les gardes complexes peuvent alourdir le fichier de configuration

Quand l'utiliser

À utiliser pour créer des liens entre les pièces dans un jeu d'aventure ou un système de navigation spatiale structuré.

Quand l'éviter

À éviter pour des systèmes de navigation simples ou linéaires où une structure plus complexe n'est pas nécessaire.

Exemples

Simple north exit

Create a simple exit to the north leading to the treasure room.

Guarded exit with condition

Add a guarded east exit to the armory requiring the player to have the 'iron key' and display a lock message.

Hidden exit with hint

Define a hidden downward exit to a secret cellar with a hint about the rug.

Exit

"Every exit is a promise of adventure." — The Rusty Lantern Guest Book

What Is It?

An Exit is a navigation link connecting one room to another. In MOOLLM's spatial architecture, exits are the EDGES of the memory palace graph.

Exits can be:

Simple — just a destination
Guarded — require conditions to pass
Hidden — discoverable through exploration
Metaphysical — conceptual rather than physical

Pie Menu Topology

Don Hopkins' pie menu insight: direction IS meaning.

| Direction | Purpose | |-----------|---------| | N/S/E/W | "Highway" links to major rooms | | NW/NE/SW/SE | "Grid" links to expandable sub-rooms | | UP/DOWN | Vertical transitions | | IN/OUT | Conceptual transitions |

Cardinal directions form the spiderweb — the main navigation network. Diagonal directions form grids — expandable arrays of sub-rooms.

Guard System

Guards are natural language conditions that control access:

guard: "player has the brass key"
guard_js: "(ctx) => ctx.player.inventory.includes('brass-key')"
guard_py: "lambda ctx: 'brass-key' in ctx.player.inventory"

The guard field contains human-readable intent. The guard_js and guard_py fields contain compiled code.

The adventure compiler emits COMPILE_EXPRESSION events for guards that need compilation.

Exit Types

Simple Exit

north:
  destination: ../maze/room-a/
  description: "A dark passage leads north."

Guarded Exit

east:
  destination: ../treasury/
  description: "A heavy iron door."
  guard: "player has treasury key"
  locked: true
  lock_message: "The door won't budge."
  unlock_with: "treasury-key"

Hidden Exit

down:
  destination: ../secret-cellar/
  hidden: true
  hint: "The rug seems oddly placed..."

One-Way Exit

down:
  destination: ../pit/
  one_way: true
  description: "A slide into darkness. No going back."

Metaphysical Exit

inward:
  destination: ../consciousness/
  metaphysical: true
  description: "Close your eyes and think about who you really are."

Memory Palace Integration

From Frances Yates' "The Art of Memory":

"The method of loci places items at specific locations along an imagined journey."

Every exit is a doorway in the memory palace. The direction encodes meaning. Players navigate by spatial memory.
