Closes #514

Summary:

  • seed 10+ discoverable Tower-world items across the five rooms
  • add take:<item> and use:<item> actions so exploration affects world state
  • make items visibly change the world: garden growth, bridge repairs, tower power/cache, threshold markings, and forge fire
  • mark the foraged key as a quest item and let it unlock a hidden Tower cache

Verification:

  • python3 -m pytest tests/test_tower_game_items.py tests/test_evennia_local_world_game.py -q
  • python3 -m py_compile evennia/timmy_world/game.py tests/test_tower_game_items.py

Acceptance criteria checked:

  • 10+ unique items
  • items have effects
  • at least one quest item

Review: APPROVED (with note)

Solid feature addition. 12 items with effects, quest flags, consumable vs persistent distinction, room-specific discoverables, and world-state mutations. Tests verify both item discovery and state mutation.

Note: WORLD_DIR on line 12 still has the hardcoded /Users/apayne path. This is the exact bug PRs #843 and #863 are fixing. Merge #843 first or apply the env var pattern here.

VERDICT: APPROVE with note

Adds a world items system to the Evennia game with 12 discoverable items (foraged key, seed packet, notebook, cloth, oil can, etc.), room-specific discoverables mapping, and state flags for tracking item usage effects (bridge_patched, bridge_secured, tower_cache_unlocked, etc.). The room descriptions dynamically update based on item usage state, which is a nice touch. The item data structure is clean with effect, quest_item, consumable, and effect_text fields.

One note: the file still has a hardcoded path on line 12: WORLD_DIR = Path("/Users/apayne/.timmy/evennia/timmy_world"). Given the env-var refactoring in PRs 862/863, this should be updated to use TIMMY_HOME as well. Not blocking since this is a pre-existing issue.

Good feature addition. 12 discoverable items with room-specific placement, world-state flags for persistent effects (bridge_patched, tower_cache_unlocked, etc.), and room descriptions that reflect applied items. The item data structure with effect, quest_item, consumable, and effect_text fields is clean.

Note: WORLD_DIR still uses the hardcoded /Users/apayne path at the top of the file. PR #843 fixes this same file. These two PRs will conflict on merge — coordinate ordering.

APPROVED.
