# hermeticum roadmap

_being a rather unsorted, evolving, and utterly incomplete braindump of tasks for hermeticum_

for the next push, i see two things: editing WITCH scripts in-client and inter-room movement. I think I'd rather work on inter-room movement until not being able to edit WTICH scripts in-client becomes unbearable.

In tildemush, inter-room movement worked like this:

- there were six directions:
  - north
  - south
  - east
  - west
  - above/up
  - below/down
- rooms contained "exit" objects
- exit objects are defined as objects with an `exit` key in their data map
- the exit map gets two keys added:
  - one for the room in which the exit was created pointing to target room with given direction
  - one for the target room with reverse of given direction
- the exit object is then added to _both_ the current and target room
- when a go command is observed, the server checks the current room for exit objects and finds the one with the given direction and moves the sender to the room it targets

I don't like the exit simultaneously existing in two rooms at once or the special handling at the server level.
