I am wondering about the inconviencience of walking into a store and
seeing 20 different sword descriptions, 100 pieces of armor, and 35
types of helmets...NONE with names until I "name" them...don't get me
wrong, I like the idea, but ( I may have missed it ), couldn't _most_
text style interaction have some sort of "auto-naming" convention to
keep you from having to name 150 objects in a room that you may never
see again?
As an aside, I'm slowy developing this sort of namespace concept in my
estate code. A player may have quite a few buildings that need to be
manned with workgroups, and no point-click ( well, not yet ) to assign
specific workgroups to specific buildings. Basically, I allow them to
name "locations", which are just tags kept in their estate file pointing
to various rooms within the game. AS I read more about this namespace
concept, I'm considering "allowing" it, instead of requiring
it...objects are still "sword" and "helmet", but can also be named
specifically within the player's information.
