Zarf Updates: A treasury of Zork maps
Thanks, looks like this is the relevant code: https://github.com/historicalsource/zork1/blob/master/1actio...
As I understand it, the thief doesn’t take room exits, but rather warps through the rooms sequentially in the order they’re listed in the code, skipping any that are sacred or non-land.

I am writing an interactive fiction builder in C#. I decided to put it to the test by recreating Zork 1
Indeed I made an assumption without looking into it first. However, I did just find some Zork 1 source code on Github and it doesn't seem that I was too far off. Take this file for example which appears to largely confirm my statement of "likely all authored/coded screen by screen and command by command". You can essentially see how they're coding each action and result on a case-by-case basis. I am not saying that's bad or anything. I have a substantial advantage over their 40-year-old technology and resources, but it does seem I was right about how early text-based adventures were developed.

In the original Planetfall, is the lantern actually coded to work properly?
Compared to the lamp in Zork 1 for example -- it sets the LIGHT/LAMP-ON bit (along with the candles, matches, torch, etc. )
