Silver Creek Entertainment has created an in-game command language for the convenience of on-line players to customize text, the environment and interactive actions (fooms) with other players. They have also developed binds to short cut long command strings for commonly used text and "fooms".
Hardwood command language falls into 5 separate types (noted by Text, Env, Foom and Bind). Also, some commands only work at certain places or work differently in different places. Location will be noted by Lobby (of a room), Table (as a watcher or player), Room (either in the lobby or at a table) and Player (sitting in a player chair).
Text Commands[]
Text commands bring text to life with color and emotes.
Environmental Commands[]
Environmental commands change the normal hardwood environment in various ways.
Information Commands[]
Informational commands give various in-game information.
Foom Commands[]
Foom commands allow various interactive actions with other players.
Bind Commands[]
Bind commands give short cuts to long command strings.
How Commands Are Combined[]
All Hardwood commands can be combined together in a "command string". Commands are strung together with double ampersands (&&) and execute from first to last. Adding text to a "command string" will always end the string so text should be added at the end of the string.
Note: The text will always be displayed, even if your Foom Count has been used up.
Example: (command 1)&&(command 2)&&(command 3)&&(command 4 or text)
This gives countless possibilities for individualization since any number of commands can be strung together (not just 4).
Large command strings is why Silver Creek Entertainment has included the "bind" command for players to have shortcut keywords to activate long and complicated command strings.
