Public Functions:Game Getter Functions

Game getter functions provide shortcuts to functions scoped to the game object.

MyGame.directions() An array of direction names This method returns the current room's exit directions in an array. For example, a returned object might look like this:
[ "out", "north", "down", "up", "south", "east", "west" ].

MyGame.exits() Object This method returns the current room's exits as an object with key/value pairs corresponding to the directions of the exits / and the IDs of the exit objects.

Expand for example

A returned object might look something like this:

{
  "out": "standing_room_out",
  "north": "standing_room_north",
  "down": "standing_room_down",
  "up": "standing_room_up",
  "south": "standing_room_south",
  "east": "standing_room_east",
  "west": "standing_room_west"
}

To make use of the return you might do something like this function which gets a list of the current room's exits and then prints a statement for each one.

let exits = MyGame.room().getExits();
Object.keys(exits).forEach(key => {
  let exit = exits[key];
  let asset = MyGame.getAsset(exit);
  let msg = `You can go ${key} through the ${asset.name}. `;
  MyGame.print( msg );
});

MyGame.input() Object Returns the global input object for this turn.

MyGame.player() Object This method returns the object of the current player asset.

MyGame.room() Object This method returns the object of the current room asset.
