Part 3 - Examining, aka Smelling

Instead of examining something:

if the noun is touchable:

try smelling the noun;

else:

try staring at the noun.

After smelling:

say "Sniffing the air, you detect ";

let temp list be a list of things;

let finished list be a list of things;

repeat with I running from 1 to 4:

let chosen thing be a random thing in the location;

if the chosen thing is not listed in the temp list:

add the chosen thing to the temp list;

repeat with target thing running through the temp list:

say "[odor of the target thing] from [the target thing]";

add target thing to finished list;

let the remaining count be (the number of entries in the temp list minus the number of entries in the finished list);

if the remaining count is 0:

say ".";

else if the remaining count is 1:

say "; and ";

else:

say "; ";

After smelling something:

say "[The noun] [smell] like [odor of the noun]."
