Many conditions which may prevent you from moving as you desire. For instance, there could be no room in this direction; or there could be a closed door in the way. More ominously, you may be too weak to move; or you could be paralyzed; or you could be blinded and unable to find your way. The Game channel will inform you of the outcome of your command.

Moving requires energy. If you do move successfully, you'll probably see your supply of available energy become diminished by some quantity. How much depends on where you're moving to; how much weight you're carrying; and other factors. Climbing a mountain carrying 200 pounds will require more energy than walking down a city street empty handed.

Note that E is equivalent to "move east" You can use the longer equivalent if you like, but "e" is shorter.

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication.

Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling."
