fishing scenario

[kostmo]

This scenario makes use of several relatively recent features/commands:

• structure placement
• structure queries (for goal checking)
• density command (for goal checking)
• combustion
• tags
• goal prerequisites with boolean expressions

Demo

scripts/play.sh -i Challenges/Ranching/fishing.yaml --autoplay

This was fun! A few suggestions:

1. The way the objectives are set up is confusing; see my inline comments and suggestions below.
2. I never really switched out of "exploratory" mode and ended up solving the whole thing just typing a bunch of things manually at the REPL, without having to set up any kind of automation with tagmembers etc. What about adding a final objective that ramps up the numbers so that you are forced to actually write some generic code lest it be incredibly tedious? e.g. after you make one california roll, a new objective could be revealed that says you want to start your own sushi business so you need to make 32 california rolls (or something like that).

The objectives are quite confusing. After completing the scenario by disposing of everything properly, I was confused why I still had not achieved the optional "no littering" objective. "But surely I did not litter!" I thought. "Why does it still think I have not completed that objective?" I thought perhaps everything had to be hauled away, so I spent some time doing more fishing until I had the perfect number of junk items so that the hauler could haul them away, but I still did not complete the objective.

It is only when I looked at this .yaml file that I realized that objective is "completed" when you do litter, and that completing it is actually bad! Do we have a way yet to mark an objective as "bad"/negative and display it with a different color / in a different section? I thought we had an issue for that but I can't find it now. In any case maybe just some text in the objective description would help that says something like "Note, this is an "anti-objective": it will be marked "completed" if you litter, which will cause you to fail the scenario. Don't litter!"

Even better, maybe the description for the No Littering goal can be moved into the Sushi chef goal description, and the No littering goal can be marked hidden. I think that would be a lot less confusing.

Closest issue may be #1046.

Agreed that the goal presentation should be improved. Will look into it.

Done.

Have to do placement of the rubbish enclosure by blind reckoning.

Added an objective to make 16 California rolls.
