So,

 Anybody figure out how to get into the submarine? I "unlocked" the hatch, but I can't get in it. Perhaps my fellow adventurers have figured that out.

So far so good. I have not run into any crashes or problems with the game yet. I did update the bug on the tracker to say it should be closed. Updating my picolisp version made the "dial" object work without crashing. Now I just have to figure out where to turn it to.....

Cool! I'm trying my luck now, without lurking in the source code too much. I
have no experiences with adventure games yet, so let's see ;)

Thanks. Some of the code could be cleaned up some more, as I was
figured out better function forms /as/ I was in the process of writing
the game, but didn't get around to rewriting those first few hundred
lines. Perhaps I'll clean that up in a beta-r2 release, to avoid
bringing too much embarrassment to the PicoLisp community.

After figuring out natural code forms, about 95% of the work was
figuring out what content to put in, whereas a mere 5% was figuring out
how to code it, which seems to prove that PicoLisp was a great
programming tool for me. My only regret is that approach I took, for
encoding the game universe, required that the entire game code to be
reloaded each time a change was made, whereas ideally I should have
designed it so I could easily just reload the code for a single room
for a game. Actually, thinking about it in retrospect, I believe I
could do that using a utility wrapper function.
