/*
 *  thing: object
 *
 *  The basic class for objects in a game.  The property contents
 *  is a list that specifies what is in the object; this property is
 *  automatically set up by the system after the game is compiled to
 *  contain a list of all objects that have this object as their
 *  location property.  The contents property is kept
 *  consistent with the location properties of referenced objects
 *  by the moveInto method; always use moveInto rather than
 *  directly setting a location property for this reason.  The
 *  adesc method displays the name of the object with an indefinite
 *  article; the default is to display "a" followed by the sdesc,
 *  but objects that need a different indefinite article (such as "an"
 *  or "some") should override this method.  Likewise, thedesc
 *  displays the name with a definite article; by default, thedesc
 *  displays "the" followed by the object's sdesc.  The sdesc
 *  simply displays the object's name ("short description") without
 *  any articles.  The ldesc is the long description, normally
 *  displayed when the object is examined by the player; by default,
 *  the ldesc displays "It looks like an ordinary sdesc."
 *  The isIn(object) method returns true if the
 *  object's location is the specified object or the object's
 *  location is an object whose contentsVisible property is
 *  true and that object's isIn(object) method is
 *  true.  Note that if isIn is true, it doesn't
 *  necessarily mean the object is reachable, because isIn is
 *  true if the object is merely visible within the location.
 *  The moveInto(object) method moves the object to be inside
 *  the specified object.  To make an object disappear, move it
 *  into nil.

/*
 *  hider: item
 *
 *  This is a basic class of object that can hide other objects in various

 *  are examples of hider subclasses.  The class defines
 *  the method searchObj(actor, list), which is given the list
 *  of hidden items contained in the object (for example, this would be the
 *  underCont property, in the case of an underHider), and "finds"
 *  the object or objects. Its action is dependent upon a couple of other
 *  properties of the hider object.  The serialSearch property,
 *  if true, indicates that items in the list are to be found one at
 *  a time; if nil (the default), the entire list is found on the
 *  first try.  The autoTake property, if true, indicates that
 *  the actor automatically takes the item or items found; if nil, the
 *  item or items are moved to the actor's location.  The searchObj method
 *  returns the list with the found object or objects removed; the
 *  caller should assign this returned value back to the appropriate
 *  property (for example, underHider will assign the return value
 *  to underCont).
 *
 *  Note that because the hider is hiding something, this class
 *  overrides the normal verDoSearch method to display the
 *  message, "You'll have to be more specific about how you want
 *  to search that."  The reason is that the normal verDoSearch
 *  message ("You find nothing of interest") leads players to believe
 *  that the object was exhaustively searched, and we want to avoid
 *  misleading the player.  On the other hand, we don't want a general
 *  search to be exhaustive for most hider objects.  So, we just
 *  display a message letting the player know that the search was not
 *  enough, but we don't give away what they have to do instead.
 *
 *  The objects hidden with one of the hider classes must be
 *  of class hiddenItem.

 *  the door.  Since a doorway is an obstacle, use the door object for

 *
 *  If noAutoOpen is not set to true, the door will automatically
 *  be opened when the player tries to walk through the door, unless the

 *  it can be unlocked simply by typing "unlock door", unless the
 *  mykey property is set, in which case the object specified in
 *  mykey must be used to unlock the door.  Note that the door can
 *  only be relocked by the player under the circumstances that allow
 *  unlocking, plus the property islockable must be set to true.
 *  By default, the door is closed; set isopen to true if the door
 *  is to start out open (and be sure to open the other side as well).
 *
 *  otherside specifies the corresponding doorway object in the
 *  destination room (doordest), if any.  If otherside is

/*
 *  deepverb: object
 *
 *  A "verb object" that is referenced by the parser when the player

 *  The verb property lists the verb vocabulary words;
 *  one word (such as 'take') or a pair (such as 'pick up')
 *  can be used.  In the latter case, the second word must be a
 *  preposition, and may move to the end of the sentence in a player's
 *  command, as in "pick it up."  The action(actor)
 *  method specifies what happens when the verb is used without any
 *  objects; its absence specifies that the verb cannot be used without
 *  an object.  The doAction specifies the root of the message
 *  names (in single quotes) sent to the direct object when the verb
 *  is used with a direct object; its absence means that a single object
 *  is not allowed.  Likewise, the ioAction(preposition)
 *  specifies the root of the message name sent to the direct and
 *  indirect objects when the verb is used with both a direct and
 *  indirect object; its absence means that this syntax is illegal.
 *  Several ioAction properties may be present:  one for each
 *  preposition that can be used with an indirect object with the verb.
 *
 *  The validDo(actor, object, seqno) method returns true
 *  if the indicated object is valid as a direct object for this actor.
 *  The validIo(actor, object, seqno) method does likewise
 *  for indirect objects.  The seqno parameter is a "sequence
 *  number," starting with 1 for the first object tried for a given
 *  verb, 2 for the second, and so forth; this parameter is normally
 *  ignored, but can be used for some special purposes.  For example,
 *  askVerb does not distinguish between objects matching vocabulary
 *  words, and therefore accepts only the first from a set of ambiguous
 *  objects.  These methods do not normally need to be changed; by
 *  default, they return true if the object is accessible to the
 *  actor.
 *
 *  The doDefault(actor, prep, indirectObject) and
 *  ioDefault(actor, prep) methods return a list of the
 *  default direct and indirect objects, respectively.  These lists
 *  are used for determining which objects are meant by "all" and which
 *  should be used when the player command is missing an object.  These
 *  normally return a list of all objects that are applicable to the
 *  current command.
 *
 *  The validDoList(actor, prep, indirectObject) and
 *  validIoList(actor, prep, directObject) methods return
 *  a list of all of the objects for which validDo would be true.
 *  Remember to include floating objects, which are generally
 *  accessible.  Note that the objects returned by this list will
 *  still be submitted by the parser to validDo, so it's okay for
 *  this routine to return too many objects.  In fact, this
 *  routine is entirely unnecessary; if you omit it altogether, or
 *  make it return nil, the parser will simply submit every
 *  object matching the player's vocabulary words to validDo.
 *  The reason to provide this method is that it can significantly
 *  improve parsing speed when the game has lots of objects that
 *  all have the same vocabulary word, because it cuts down on the
 *  number of times that validDo has to be called (each call
 *  to validDo is fairly time-consuming).
