Part 4 - Scoring

The File of Scoring is called "ifdb2achieves".

The File of Deaths is called "ifdb2deaths".

The File of Bandnames is called "ifdb2bands".

The File of Popstars is called "ifdb2stars".

The File of Bathrooms is called "ifdb2toilets".

[I'm not, at present, supporting multiple-playthrough achievements. In fact, the only thing we're dealing with for now are deaths, which are far and away the most likely thing to be ruined by UNDO.]

[To do: popcount, bandname, bathcount]

When play begins:

write File of Deaths from Table of Deaths;

write File of Bandnames from Table of Awesome Band Names;

write File of Popstars from Table of Popstar Counting;

write File of Bathrooms from Table of Visited Bathrooms;

write File of Scoring from Table of Stable Triumph;

To deathify (N - a number):

if there is an count of N in the Table of Deaths begin;

choose a row with a count of N in the Table of Deaths;

now the achieved entry is true;

end if;

To accomplish (N - an accomplishment):

now N is activated;

A thing can be valuable. A thing is usually not valuable.

A thing has some text called epilogue.

This is the scorekeeper rule:

let fin be false;

let Z be 10 - number of games in startroom;

if Z is 10, now fin is true;

say "You have explored [the number of played games in words] game[if the number of played games is not 1]s[end if], and have finished or dismissed [Z in words].[br]";

if the player encloses a safe valuable thing or fin is true begin;

say "[br][b]You have salvaged [the number of safe valuable things] of 12 treasures:[/b]";

repeat with N running through safe valuable things begin;

say "[br][a N][if fin is true], [the epilogue of N][end if]";

end repeat;

let XPQ be the number of safe valuable things;

choose a row with a count of XPQ in the Table of Score Ranks;

let fiddledee be the scorerank entry;

say "[br]This gives you the rank of [fiddledee].";

end if;

if there is an achieved of true in the Table of Deaths begin;

say "[b]Deaths and failures:[/b]";

repeat through the Table of Deaths begin;

if the achieved entry is true begin;

say "[br]";

say the death entry;

end if;

end repeat;

say "[br]";

end if;

if there is an activated accomplishment begin;

say "[br][b]Triumphs and accomplishments:[/b]";

repeat with X running through activated accomplishments begin;

say "[br][the description of X]";

end repeat;

say "[br]";

end if;

The scorekeeper rule is listed instead of the print final score rule in for printing the player's obituary.

The scorekeeper rule is listed instead of the announce the score rule in the carry out requesting the score rules.
