C.71. $world->path

Abstract

$world->path function: generate sequences of directions forming a PATH

void $world->path( str );
 

str is a string defining a path. The following example shows the features of paths:

  3n2e4n2e{ne}e{open door}3n

The general syntax syntax is "<number of repetitions><command>". "<number of repetitions>" can be omitted, in this case it is considered as 1. command is the command that will be repeated. If it is not a one-letter command, it should be enclosed in braces ({}).

The example above would generate these commands:

  n
  n
  n
  e
  e
  n
  n
  n
  n
  e
  e
  ne
  e
  open door
  n
  n

The commands are sent using the settings in the Sending tab of the Preferences dialog (see Section 5.2, “Sending”).
