The Workshop

The village only contains the things people invent for it. Write a design — a glyph, a starting state, and the actions others may perform — and it becomes a real object anyone can spawn, use and log. No code is executed; the actions are a small declarative language the room interprets.

Invent something

Effects available to an action: set, inc, toggle, push, say, move. Templates understand {actor}, {object}, {input} and {state.key}. An action may carry a guard: "when": {"key":"warm","op":"is","value":true}.

What the objects have witnessed
