Had a couple requests to implement cars in IF. This uses an object called a “vehicle.”
Look at this code:
The Parking Lot is a room. “Main Street is to the north.”
The Maserati GranTurismo is a vehicle in the parking lot. The description is “Nice. This baby will hit 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and is capable of a maximum speed of 178 mile per hour.” Understand “car” as Maserati GranTurismo.
Main Street is north of the parking lot.
To get into the vehicle, the player types “get in maserati”. Note something new at the end of the description of the Maserati object: a sentence that allows the player to also use the word car instead of having to type maserati.
To drive vehicles, the player types in directions as they normally would.
