+# This YAML file gets processed into a collection of data structure and
+# variable initializers describing Colossal Cave. It replaces an ad-hoc
+# text database shipped with Adventure versions up to 2.5. The format
+# change enabled a lot of use of symbolic names where there were previously
+# inscrutable numeric literals.
+#
+# We define a bunch of YAML structures:
+#
+# locations: Each item contains a long and short description. Some
+# short descriptions are empty. Order of these locations is significant;
+# see the macros OUTSID and INDEEP.
+#
+# arbitrary_messages: These are arguments to RSPEAK(). Some spans of
+# these messages need to be kept adjacent and ordered. To see which,
+# grep for RSPEAK calls containing expressions with arithmetic.
+#
+# classes: Each item contains a point threshold and a message
+# describing a classification of player. point thresholds must be
+# in ascending order. The scoring code selects the appropriate
+# message, where each message is considered to apply to players
+# whose scores are higher than the previous N but not higher than
+# this N. Note that these scores probably change with every
+# modification (and particularly expansion) of the program.
+#
+# turn_thresholds: Each item contains a number and a message
+# berating the player for taking so many turns. The messages must
+# be in the proper (ascending) order. The message gets printed if
+# the player exceeds N % 100000 turns, at which time N/100000
+# points get deducted from his score.
+#
+# objects: Each item contains a description for use in the inventory command
+# and one or more messages describing the object in different states.
+# If the inventory desription begins with "*" the object is dungeon
+# furniture that cannot be taken or carried.
+#
+# obituaries: Death messages and reincarnation queries. Order is
+# significant, they're used in succession as the player racks up
+# deaths.
+#
+# hints: Each item contains a hint number (add 10 to get cond bit),
+# the number of turns he must be at the right loc(s) before
+# triggering the hint, the points deducted for taking the hint, the
+# message number (section 6) of the question, and the message
+# number of the hint. These values are stashed in the "hints"
+# array.
+#
+# These correspond to sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 14 in the old
+# adventure.text format. Sections 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 haven't moved yet.
+# Section 12 was obsolete.
