Trivia

Debugging code

Upon finishing making the game, Mike Taylor forgot to take out the debugging code before sending off the final version: the result is, anyone could type (for example) i= 5'' to teleport to location 5. The verb was calledi='' because the which location I'm in'' number was stored in the variablei''. You could find out the number of your current location with another debugging verb, ?i'', meaningprint i'', because ? was shorthand for the print keyword in Commodore BASIC.
