First add a Clap verb (this is easy). Then give Charlotte a number property (initially 0, say) and add these three lines to the end of Charlotte's grammar routine:
self.number=TryNumber(verb_wordnum);
if (self.number~=-1000)
{ action=##Clap; noun=0; second=0; rtrue; }
Her orders routine now needs a local variable called i, and
the new clause:
Clap: if (self.number==0) "Charlotte folds her arms.";
for (i=0:i<self.number:i++)
{ print "Clap! ";
if (i==100)
print "(You must be regretting this by now.) ";
if (i==200)
print "(What a determined girl she is.) ";
}
if (self.number>100)
"^^Charlotte is a bit out of breath now.";
"^^~Easy!~ says Charlotte.";
