Map The Stars

My entry for the Ludum Dare 36 with the Theme of Ancient Technology.

The Game

You are an ancient astronomer working with a partner to try and create a book of star charts and maps but nothing can really be that simple. It's a text based adventure game crossed with some interactive elements.

Commands

Some basic commands:
EXAMINE <item>
USE <item>
USE <item> ON <item>
EXIT
USE <direction> DOOR
PICK UP <item>

There are some others so if something doesn't work, try a few other choices.

Running

The jar supplied with this is built for 1.8 and makes use of some new features so will not be able to run on a 1.7 installation. The ld36-j1.7-compat branch is not up to date right now so you will not be able to use that. Check back later on if you need it but Java 1.8 can be downloaded from here.
