Organizing rules in the map

The map provides a graphical overview of all the contexts and commands in a world.

A simple map

Each rule is represented in the map by its command and a line or two lines that connect the command to its context and to the context the command moves the focus to (if the rule contains a move).

Contexts are shown in one color and commands in another. The default colors are black for contexts and blue for commands. You can change these colors using Edit | Editor Preferences.

Moves are indicated by arrows leading from commands to the context to which the move goes.

Selected items are highlighted with a yellow box.

The command for the rule shown in the rule editor panel below is written in bold letters.

In the example above, the rule with the “go inside” command is selected in the rule editor panel, and the “house” context is selected in the map.
