	Guess-the-verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Usually a game has two or more verbs for an action involving a special object to allow the player to easily go or get ahead.
		If the game does not have enough command aliases or object aliases (as for a "guess-the-noun" problem), especially for a critical step, the game may appear unwinnable and the player would be stuck until the right target is guessed or one is supplied by a walkthrough.
		TADS games supply a fair list of verbs commonly used in their documentation; if the game designer uses new actions not covered in this list, and which cannot easily be inferred by the purpose and context of the object, the player will probably encounter this problem.

	Verb tenses
		A definition of the verb is given and the student has to guess the verb.
		Students are given the present tense form of the verb and are asked to generate both the irregular past and the past participle.
		Hard to guess the verbs, but the game is well constructed as it eliminates a letter once you have guessed it.

		Then the same student who pantomimed the verb chooses and then acts out the word on his or her adverb card.

		Questioning goes on like this until players start to figure out what the verb is. They should not say it, though, because they'll have fun, knowing what the verb is, listening to the questions of those who haven't yet figured out the verb, and to It's answers.
		Players keep shouting out verbs and tossing the beanbag until someone can't think of a verb, repeats a verb, or shouts out a word that is not a verb.
		If they repeat a verb, can't think of a verb, or say a word that is not a verb, then they are out and sit down.

	Interactive Fiction (IF) Mini-reviews
		The "guess the verb" refers to a carnival/fair guessing game, you need to get Lalrry (the machine operating the game) to accept payment so you can guess a verb from the wheel.
		Typically "guess the verb" refers to the situation where in order to solve some puzzle in a game you're using trial and error to guess the correct verb to use because the common/standard ones aren't working and the game author chose to use something more obscure as the solution.
		Guessing verbs with a wrong solution is something else because it's never going to solve the puzzle anyway.

		Whatever parser-type system the game uses is apparently old or something because verbs that you'd expect to be synonyms or at least get responses from often don't work.
		Sometimes you end up playing "guess the verb" to figure out how to do something and I personally can't stand that.
		Also it's hard to tell if you're really in a "guess the verb" situation or if you simply can't do what you're trying to do.

	Advanced TADS Techniques
		As an example, let's implement a verb for a magic word; when the magic word is used, the player will be magically transported from the cave to the shack, or the shack to the cave.
		We'll introduce two new verbs: "launch" and "land." When the player is in the raft, "launch raft" will set the raft in motion down the river (if it's on land), and "land raft" will land (if there's a landing nearby).
		The main reason you'll want to use these new verbs is that there's no easy way for the player to refer to an amount of money unless you go for a very basic currency, such as the "gold piece" model used in a lot of fantasy games.

		From the very beginning of the game, I quickly determined that guessing the verb, as well as the noun, was going to be necessary in numerous cases.

	Chapter 8:- Grammar 2
		If you don't know a given verb and can't guess its meaning from the context, you need to construct the infinitive form so that you can look up the word in a dictionary.
		If you know the meaning of the verb then you should understand the information that the conjugated form gives about the four features.
		They are built from an auxiliary verb and a participle: hat gesungen — has sung.

	Frustration and Trail-and-Error at WRT: Writer Response Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The result is an aesthetics of managed expectation, in which a gracefully written IF reduces the number of dead-end “incapacity” frustrations in favor of progressive “set-back” frustrations which culminate in a complete, successful traversal of the text.
		There is however a difference in verb implementation - in IF, authors have a strong motivation to restrict the verb set as much as possible - only implementing a few commonly used ones.
		Ah yes, so IF users (interactors/player/etc) need to choose the correct verb for action to occur, and that verb is from a narrow set that all IF utilises.

		There are also a lot of adjectives here--"flat" twice, "tame," "wild," "cloudless, "immense," "trampled"--but the active verbs ("hisses and rattles," "roll," "towers," "slices," "cuts") do most of the descriptive work; the adjectives are mostly in a supporting role.

		This too is deliberately deceptive, forcing the player to guess at which of the text in the description is meaningful for the game and which isn't.
		It seems to me that IF would be better off if the games kept all of the wonderful text and descriptions output to the player, but also provided solid information about the internal game model and how the player might manipulate it.
		For hints we don't want to lay out all the options, but just the verbs that are in play, and it would be nice to have a more condensed sort of output.

		Not surprisingly, then, there isn't a way to win as such--there's a wide variety of endings, some of which the player is likely to consider better than others, but the game studiously avoids making any *you have won* sort of judgments.
		To be sure, the average player probably won't get all the connections, and is likely to elicit some reactions without realizing what buttons he or she pushed, so to speak--but that also means that there's always more room for understanding.
		The end result was that the scores for The Gostak were almost evenly distributed across the scale -- which surprised me a bit, as I expected a large pileup of scores at the two extremes from some players who were frustrated by the whole thing and others who like this sort of thing.
