TriadCity TODOs
Natural Language Processing

Today, Triad players are forced to learn a specialized command syntax which is different than the way they would naturally talk. For example, you can't type the command "show me what's in the bag". It would have to be "look in bag" instead. This isn't completely aweful, and the commands are easy to learn. But we'd like to simplify players' interaction with the game as much as possible, freeing you to use your brain power on what's happening, rather than what words to use.

To do this, we'll implement a natural language parser, one of those ten-dollar computer terms for a program which converts the sentences you type into the form which the game system expects. This is not critical to the workings of the game, though, so it's a low priority item for us.

Estimated date of completion: unknown

"There are a number of ways of foregrounding ... intertextual space and integrating it into the text's structure, but none is more effective than the device of "borrowing" a character from another text - "transworld identity," Umberto Eco has called this, the transmigration of characters from one fictional universe to another."
