No project or product is finished until its end-of-lifed. And at that
point, its only finished in the sense of its mortality. :-) I'm glad
someone else sees my point of view on this.

FWIW, you're going to meet the Visitor. I'm sure you've met him before,
but in IF, he's the biggest, meanest bruiser you've ever seen. And he's
in a bad mood.

Do you mean the Visitor pattern?


I do indeed.

At least if you take the simplistic Verb, Noun, Adverb, Adjective (etc.)
approach that I took, because an action will depend on which type of each
of these is involved.

For example, "Take sword," will have a different outcome from, "Take water,"
and it's the nature of the verb-object/noun-object interaction that defines
this different outcome. I found my verbs constantly visiting my nouns to
find out what to do next.

My plan is actually to define a grammar that will parse the input
sentence possible parse trees. Then figure out from the world model
which of those parse tree's makes the most sense (or if I'd have to
ask for clarification).

I'll probably want to use the visitor pattern to visit the objects in
my world model though.
