Fixed Turkey and Fixed Pudding

I hope everyone enjoyed the Creatures Community Spirit Festival 2016 - I know I did.  Congratulations to Allekha and Doringo for pulling it all together!

I thought I should post a CAOS walkthrough of the Fixed Christmas Pudding and Fixed Turkey (they are identical, bar the sprites and class numbers used) to demonstrate how they work.


First, the original script:
scrp 2 6 5 1
snde chwp 
stim writ from 10 255 0 0 35 250 34 10 57 150 0 0 
pose 1 
endm

Note how the pudding doesn't vanish from the world (using KILL) in the eat script here - this is accomplished by the drop script in the original, leading to a food item that only vanishes once it is dropped - not so good for learning!

The fixed editions have an additional feature that turns these from one-shot treats to easy-to-find emergency rations.

Blue Drum Walkthrough

 Hopefully by now, you're enjoying the Creatures Community Festival 2015!  I thought I would post up a CAOS walkthrough of the Blue Drum COB I made, with the aid of The Lone Shee's C1 Scriptorium Browser, CrEd32 and BoBCoB.

Install script:

inst
Install this COB in one tick.
new: simp bdru 1 0 3500 0
Our COB is a simple object, using one image from the bdru.spr file, and it will appear in front of the creatures who use it.
setv clas 34147072
the COB is in class 2, genus 9 and species 11.
setv attr 70
The hand can pick up the drum, the hand can activate the drum, and the COB is "wallbound".
bhvr 2 3
The hand can bang the drum even if it's already banging.  Creatures can push and pull the drum.
edit
The drum will appear in the hand when it's been injected into the world.
endm
End of the install script.

Push script:

scrp 2 9 11 1
The script for family 2, genus 9, species 11, activation function #1.
snde drm1
