Section 2 - Score

[Score is pretty old-school here: it marks progress towards the end game and provides the player with a review of significant achievements so far, as well as encouraging the player that he did the right thing at certain junctures.

Optional accomplishments are not included -- those are reserved for the achievement system -- so there are no Last Lousy Points. A player who gets to the end of the game should have the full hundred.]

The new notify score changes rule is listed instead of the notify score changes rule in the turn sequence rulebook.

This is the new notify score changes rule:

if the score is not the last notified score:

say "[first custom style]";

let diff be the score minus the last notified score;

if diff is less than 0:

let diff be 0 minus diff;

say "[bracket]Your score has gone down by [diff in words] point[s][if score is greater than diff] and is now [score in words][end if].[close bracket]";

otherwise:

say "[bracket]Your score has gone up by [diff in words] point[s][if score is greater than diff] and is now [score in words][end if].[close bracket]";

say "[roman type][paragraph break]";

now the last notified score is the score;

Table of Tasks Achieved

To record (T - text) as achieved:

choose row with a citation of T in the Table of Tasks Achieved;

if there is no time entry begin;

change time entry to the time of day;

award (points entry) points;

end if.

The announce the score rule is not listed in any rulebook.

Carry out requesting the score:

if the score is 0:

say "So far you are without points.";

otherwise:

say "You have earned [score] point[s]:";

repeat through the Table of Tasks Achieved in time order:

say "[line break] [points entry] point[s] for [citation entry]";

say paragraph break.

Report requesting the score:

if the number of entries in the list of remaining letters is 26:

say "You have not yet removed any letters from anything.";

otherwise if the number of entries in the list of remaining letters is 0:

say "You have at some time removed every letter from something.";

otherwise:

say "You have not yet removed [disjoint list of remaining letters] from anything.";

follow the list achievements rule.

To say disjoint (L - a list of indexed texts):

let N be the number of entries in L;

repeat with I running from 1 to N:

say entry I in L;

if I is N - 1:

say ", or ";

otherwise unless I is N:

say ", ".
