The RAGS environment allows for a simple click-adventure game. An example of the game environment is pictured below:
- Dialog box - displays all of the text for the game and is read-only. This includes dialog, descriptions and actions taken.
- Images - Displays the image for the object/room/character you are currently looking at. Like the dialog box it is a non-interactive frame.
- Room - This small icon represents the current room the player is in. When it is surrounded by a green box, right-click it to bring up a list of actions that are possible to perform in the room. Actions may include; examine and unique actions associated with that room, e.g. taking a shower in the bathroom.
- Compass - This is the compas. Clicking on the green icons surrounding the compass will move you in that direction. Placing the cursor over a direction will display the name of the area in that direction.
- Player - The image of the player. When it is surrounded by a green box, right-click it to bring up a list of actions that are possible to perform at that time. Actions may include; examine, masturbate, wait, seduce and dominate.
- Room objects - A list of objects that are currently visible in the room. Right--click on an object to bring up a list of actions that are possible to perform on that object at that time. If no actions are available then right-clicking will have no affect. Actions may include; examine, take, open/close, lock/unluck and use.
- Room Characters - A list of characters that are currently in the room. Right--click on a character to bring up a list of actions that are possible to perform on that character at that time. Actions may include; examine and talk.
- Player inventory - Right-click on each item to bring up a list of actions that are possible to perform on that item. If no actions are available then right-clicking will have no affect. Actions may include; examine, drop, wear/remove, open/close, lock/unlock, use and many unique actions.
General note on basic gameplay: Actions become available as you progress through the game so it is important to check previously visited rooms, objects, characters, your inventory and the player on a regular basis.
