The manual and the program's own text say what a system is for before the code does
What to know
Read the game's story early. The manual says what the player plans around, and the program's long strings often state rules in plain words. Together they say which systems the designers cared about, and so which the port must match exactly. In Hardwar the craft run on solar cells and recharge under lights, so light is game logic; two factions hold water and food, so the economy is the core; the altitude ceiling depends on the power cell; the plot seals tunnels, so the save holds them (docs/working/lore.md).
- List the program's sentences:
./gameframe run sentences game/GAME.EXE > analysis/notes/sentences.txt. - Write
docs/lore.mdfrom the project template, with the table "in the story → in the code → evidence" (re-inventory, "Read the story"). - When a constant or a system has no reason, read the lore again before guessing.
- Keep the game's text out of tracked files. Name a string by its address and say what it states.
