Adventure Game Machines

[NeonScripter]

If you add a machine to an adventure game, players can insert either objects, attributes, money, or multiple of them and get something out of it. (new rooms, objects, money, attributes, creatures, many things!)

An example of a machine is in a lab, there is a machine that gives you a robot pal if you insert a computer.

Does a machine always do the same thing? or are there probabilities involved?

They don't always have to do the same thing.

[tecimovic]

Can a machine move around, or is it fixed in one room?

[NeonScripter]

Can a machine move around, or is it fixed in one room?

No. It's not a robot.

[tecimovic]

Ok. Cool. So to summarize:

• machine is fixed in a room
• machine has internal logic that decides what happens
• user interacts with a machine.

Question:
what are the commands that the player types to use the machine? Can you post an example of the interaction with a machine?
