Notre avis

Cette compétence définit des liens de navigation entre les pièces d'un palais de la mémoire, en s'appuyant sur une topologie de menus en éventail (pie menus) et un système de gardiens conditionnels.

Points forts

Permet de créer des structures de navigation complexes et significatives.
Intègre des gardiens naturels et des conditions de passage programmables.
Supporte différents types de sorties (simples, cachées, à sens unique, métaphysiques).
S'inspire des principes des palais de la mémoire pour une navigation intuitive.

Limites

La configuration YAML peut devenir verbeuse pour de nombreux liens.
Les gardiens nécessitent une logique de programmation pour les conditions avancées.
La métaphore spatiale peut ne pas convenir à tous les contextes.

Quand l'utiliser

Utilisez cette compétence lorsque vous concevez un environnement de navigation spatiale avec des directions sémantiques, comme un jeu d'aventure ou un outil d'organisation mentale.

Quand l'éviter

Évitez cette compétence pour des systèmes de navigation simples ou plats, ou lorsque la métaphore du palais de la mémoire n'est pas pertinente.

Exemples

Create simple exit

Create an exit from the current room to the library going north.

Guarded exit with key

Add a guarded exit east to the treasury that requires the player to have the treasury key.

Hidden exit with hint

Create a hidden exit down to a secret cellar with a hint about the rug being 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.
