No Room

Release 1 / Serial number 112358 / Inform v6.21 Library 6/10 

Darkness
You are nowhere.  It's dark.

>about
No Room was written by Ben Heaton.  He can be contacted for hints and general
comments at noroom@factitious.net.  To see a walkthrough, type WALKTHROUGH.  For
hints, type HELP.  For a brief statement on the programming, type XYZZY.

This game would be worse than it is without the help of beta testers Maryna Gray
and Aaron Stonestrom.  It wouldn't exist at all without the existence of the
rec.arts.int-fiction community, and Graham Nelson, creator of Inform.

label.

  a cloth bag (which is open but empty)
  a pocket (being worn)

To use this game's hint system, type HINT or HELP whenever you want to see a new
hint.  To reset the hints, so that you can view old ones again, type RESET
HINTS.

>hint
You're nowhere, and it's dark.  Perhaps you should do something about that.

>hint
You have a flashlight, but it's broken.

>hint
But the bulb is intact.  You just need some way of supplying power to it.

>get bulb
You already have that.

>i
You are carrying:
  lint
  a lemon (with a copper rod and a zinc rod sticking into it)
  a broken flashlight
  a cloth bag (which is open but empty)
  a pocket (being worn)

>put flashlight on lemon
Putting things on the lemon would achieve nothing.

>get bulb

Nothing obvious happens.

>hint
Lemons contain some interestingly conductive acidic juices.

>hint
If you stick some copper and zinc into a lemon, and connect them, there'll be an
electrochemical reaction.

>hint
So you'll just need to put the two rods into the lemon, and connect a wire from
the broken flashlight to each of them.

>hint
And then turn the light on.

>['a wire', he says.]
You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom.

>get wire
Which do you mean, the left wire or the right wire?

>left
That seems to be a part of the broken flashlight.

>feel flashlight
The flashlight is about three inches long, but it feels like it was originally
longer.  The back of it is smashed, and the area where batteries would go is
missing.  All that remains is a plastic casing holding a bulb.  There's a small
switch on one side, and two torn wires leading out from the back.  They were
presumably connected to the battery section initially.

>[oh good lord.
That's not a verb I recognize.

>attach left wire to zinc
You wind the left wire firmly onto the zinc rod.

>attach right wire to copper
You wind the right wire firmly onto the copper rod.

>flip switch
That's not a verb I recognize.

>turn on flashlight
You switch on the flashlight.  Thanks to the voltaic battery powers of your
lemon, the bulb illuminates your surroundings.  You can now see where you are,
and thus are no longer nowhere.
