I don't want to harp on this, because it isn't relevant to the jam, but I am curious and raise it because it may have an influence on your future match statement format.

It looks like there is only provision for one preposition, but this doesn't account for where the preposition is located within the command. For example TURN ON LAMP and TURN LAMP ON mean the same thing, but JUMP ACROSS CHASM and JUMP CHASM ACROSS are definitiely not the same thing. The latter is rubbish. There are also situations where the presence or absence of the preposition changes the order of the direct and indirect object. The classic example is GIVE SWORD TO TROLL vs GIVE TROLL SWORD. The former is the more common syntax. You might like to say that the latter format is not supported, the direct object must precede the indirect object and they must be separated by a preposition.

This still doesn't account for the situation where you need two prepositions. I can't think of a good example off hand, but something like CHOP UP CARROT WITH KNIFE or TURN OFF MACHINE WITH LONG POLE or REACH INTO HOLE WITH STICK or WRAP UP PARCEL WITH BROWN PAPER.

Don't worry, everything is in hand.

There are a number of mitigations already built into adventuron.

Pick up lamp

Put on coat

Get into boat

... And more

All language specific grammatical constructs are handled by a parser preprocessor. I'll document and allow extensions at a later stage.

If you need a tester, you know I'm available.

Thanks Garry !

You give me grief but the good type.
