Answer to Exercise 44

ANSWER TO EXERCISE 44

The common man's wayhel was a lowly mouse. Since we think much more highly of the player:

Object hog "Warthog" Caldera
  with name "wart" "hog" "warthog", description "Muddy and grunting.",
       number 0,
       initial "A warthog snuffles and grunts about in the ash.",
       orders
       [;  Go, Look, Examine, Eat, Smell, Taste, Touch: rfalse;
           default: "Warthogs can't do anything as tricky as that!";
       ],
  has  animate proper;

and we just ChangePlayer(warthog);. Note that the same orders routine applies to the player-as-human typing "warthog, listen'' as to the player-as-warthog typing just "listen''.
