No need to apologize. I don't take anything personal about the game. I understand you are just telling me what you did and what the game didn't do.
So SMASH HIVE is broken. It was not checking where or not the hive was still in the tree, it just allowed you to smash it if it was in the room. I have fixed it on my end, but will not be able to put the game out until Monday (I develop it on a laptop and the disk drive is at the office, and my network hub is not plugged in).
I have added KNOCK DOWN HIVE as well. I did not add SWAP (REPLACE, TRADE, EXCHANGE, CHANGE) yet, but I will get to it.
I fixed the PUT ROCK ON PEDESTAL to not allow it if the stone is still on it and vice versa. If you LOOK AT PEDESTAL you get a different answer than if you LOOK ON PEDESTAL.
As for GRAB VINE, that really isn't the same thing. Grab is treated as GET, but I think I make reference to Tarzan if you mess with the vine trying to climb it or such, so I think SWING is OK. Jump on vine works also I think.
On LIGHT, it was checking for LIGHT FIRE, then it would tell you to use BURN X or SET FIRE TO X. I corrected this so if you try LIGHT X it will tell you. Technically you can not LIGHT MAT, but you can LIGHT LIGHTER.
I am trying to draw the fine line between making it too easy and too hard. I just want it to be fun. I'm not out to set up a pay hint line!
As for the canoe I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The game allows for MAKE, BUILD, CARVE, CHOP, CUT, and maybe more. I tried to give some hints there also, and you can always type HINT, HELP or PRAY for a little extra hint in some places.
Please feel free to suggest anything, and do not feel I am not open to it, because I am. I appreciate the help and would not be ungrateful about it!
