Short-order cook for TootsBurger as a cheap Diner Dash clone.

The TootsBurger Game

The player triggers this game by putting on their apron.

The way this game works, is that the player walks up to a ChatterBot, who will find their way to a seat (cleverly tagged, one hopes, by a “$seat” space in the room) and demand attention. The player will (one hopes) heed their calls and walk over. When they approach one of the impatient pachyderms, they'll get a demand for some food item or other. The helpful player will then walk over to the ShortOrderCook and repeat the order. If, instead, they walk over to the DinerDishWasher, he will helpfully fill them in on the rules (at a whisper, no less!).

Once the intrepid server has repeated the order, s/he can idle for a bit while the cook prepares the food. After a moment, the cook will call back the order, and the player has a window of opportunity to pick up the food from the cook.

Picking up the food on time costs the player a few peanuts (depending on the order). The cook will inform them of that cost, but gives them the food. They now have a limited time to run the food out to the patient patrons, who will cheerfully announce their pleasure and promptly pay their food, with a gratuity based upon the speed of delivery. Note that patrons count time from the time that they ordered, not when the food was ready, so a 15%-35% tip can result depending on the player's alacrity.

Failure to pick up the order in time will cost the player — they'll raise the ire of the cook, who will charge them for the spoiled food, as well as the customers, who will ask for a different server, or leave the diner altogether.

How The Cook Works

If the player walks up to the cook and does not have an apron, the cook will ask if s/he would like a job, and explain the rules in brief (in a whisper):
“Hi, there, (PLAYER). I'm (COOK). I'm the cook here at TootsBurger. Would you like to help us out by waiting tables? If you have a TootsBurger apron, you can help me out. Just find out what customers want, and tell me. I'll cook the order, and you pay me for it. When it's ready, you can bring it to your customers, and they'll pay you, and give you a tip. You can earn money by bringing me their orders and bringing them their food as fast as possible.”
If the player just stands there, the cook will repeat:
“Would you like to wait tables? Just say ‘Apron’ and I'll sell you one.”
The player can then choose to buy the apron for 25 peanuts from the cook by saying “apron” in their proximity.
“Here's your apron. You can get started right away! Good luck!”
Once a ChatterBot places an order, the ShortOrderCook “knows” it. The player comes up and is supposed to repeat (at least the significant keyword(s) of) the order.
The chef will wait a short time (cooking the food, presumably) and then announce: “Order up, (PLAYER). (FOOD)”.

Constructor Detail

ShortOrderCook

public ShortOrderCook(Room diner)
               throws NotFoundException,
                      GameLogicException

Create a short-order cook. The cook's name is pseudo-randomly taken from a pool of available names, on the principle that there should definitely be more than one chef at a fine 24-hour diner like TootsBurger. The names of the characters are homages to some of my personal favourite 24-hour diner short-order cooks. (BRP)

Parameters:: diner - the TootsBurger room
Throws:: NotFoundException - WRITEME; GameLogicException - WRITEME
