# Puzzles System
Contribution by Henddher 2018
Intended for adventure-game style combination puzzles, such as combining fruits
and a blender to create a smoothie. Provides a typeclass and commands for objects
that can be combined (i.e. used together). Unlike the `crafting` contrib, each
puzzle is built from unique objects rather than using tags and a builder can create
the puzzle entirely from in-game.
A `Puzzle` is a recipe of what objects (aka parts) must be combined by a player so
a new set of objects (aka results) are automatically created.
## Installation
Add the `PuzzleSystemCmdSet` to all players (e.g. in their Character typeclass).
Alternatively (for quick testing):
py self.cmdset.add('evennia.contrib.game_systems.puzzles.PuzzleSystemCmdSet')
## Usage
Consider this simple Puzzle:
orange, mango, yogurt, blender = fruit smoothie
As a Builder:
create/drop orange
create/drop mango
create/drop yogurt
create/drop blender
create/drop fruit smoothie
puzzle smoothie, orange, mango, yogurt, blender = fruit smoothie
...
Puzzle smoothie(#1234) created successfuly.
destroy/force orange, mango, yogurt, blender, fruit smoothie
armpuzzle #1234
Part orange is spawned at ...
Part mango is spawned at ...
....
Puzzle smoothie(#1234) has been armed successfully
As Player:
use orange, mango, yogurt, blender
...
Genius, you blended all fruits to create a fruit smoothie!
## Details
Puzzles are created from existing objects. The given
objects are introspected to create prototypes for the
puzzle parts and results. These prototypes become the
puzzle recipe. (See PuzzleRecipe and `puzzle`
command). Once the recipe is created, all parts and result
can be disposed (i.e. destroyed).
At a later time, a Builder or a Script can arm the puzzle
and spawn all puzzle parts in their respective
locations (See armpuzzle).
A regular player can collect the puzzle parts and combine
them (See use command). If player has specified
all pieces, the puzzle is considered solved and all
its puzzle parts are destroyed while the puzzle results
are spawened on their corresponding location.
