Object Attributes and Methods

Keeping the objects we've identified in mind we can re-read the game description looking for verbs and adjectives to reveal the objects' attributes and methods.

• Player
  • Attributes: At any instant the player has a location in the cave system and a number of arrows left.
  • Methods: The player is able to move from room to room, and to shoot arrows.
• Bat
  • Attributes: Like the player(s) each bat has a location in the cave system.
  • Methods: A Bat's only action is to snatch the player and carry him or her away.
• Pit
  • Attributes: Like Players and Bats, Pits have a location.
  • Methods: Pits can swallow players who stumble into them.
• Wumpus
  • Attributes: Location, 'nuff said.
  • Methods: All the wumpus does is wake up and either run off or eat a player.
• Arrows
  • Attributes: A path they will try and follow.
  • Methods: An Arrow flies from room to room along the specified path.

So much for the simple objects.
