Notre avis

Cette compétence définit les liens de navigation entre les pièces d'un palais de mémoire, avec prise en charge des gardiens, des sorties cachées et du codage directionnel.

Points forts

Permet une navigation structurée avec directions cardinales et diagonales.
Prend en charge les gardiens, les sorties cachées et les transitions métaphysiques pour un gameplay riche.
S'intègre à la topologie des menus en cercle pour un mappage direction-sens intuitif.
Permet des accès conditionnels simples et complexes via le système de gardien.

Limites

Nécessite une compréhension du YAML et éventuellement du code pour les gardiens.
N'est pas un moteur de jeu complet ; repose sur une structure de pièces prédéfinie.
Les événements de compilation de gardien peuvent nécessiter des outils supplémentaires.

Quand l'utiliser

Utilisez-le lors de la conception d'aventures basées sur des pièces ou de palais de mémoire nécessitant une navigation directionnelle et un accès conditionnel.

Quand l'éviter

Évitez pour les récits linéaires ou les systèmes où la direction n'a pas de signification sémantique.

Exemples

Create a simple exit

Add a north exit to the current room that leads to a new room called 'Dark Passage'.

Create a guarded exit

Make an east exit that requires a silver key, with a description 'A heavy iron door' and a lock message 'The door won't budge.'

Create a hidden exit

Add a hidden down exit to a secret cellar, with a hint 'The rug seems oddly placed...'

Exit

"Every exit is a promise of adventure." — The Gezelligheid Grotto 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.
