Notre avis

Définit les liens de navigation entre les pièces en utilisant une topologie de menu radial et des conditions de garde optionnelles.

Points forts

Encodage de la direction comme signification sémantique
Support des sorties gardées, cachées et à sens unique
Intégration avec le concept de palais de mémoire

Limites

Nécessite une compréhension de la topologie du menu radial
Peut être complexe pour des récits simples
Le système de garde nécessite du code

Quand l'utiliser

Lors de la construction de navigation spatiale dans des fictions interactives ou des palais de mémoire.

Quand l'éviter

Lorsqu'une navigation linéaire simple est suffisante.

Exemples

Simple exit to the north

Create a simple exit to the north leading to the garden room with a description 'A sunlit path leads north.'

Guarded exit to the treasury

Add a guarded exit to the treasury that requires the brass key, is locked, and shows 'The door won't budge.' when locked.

Hidden exit under the rug

Make a hidden exit to the secret cellar under the rug, with a hint 'The rug seems oddly placed...'

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.
