Chapter 3 - Flipping It

A thing can be flip-inducing. The spatula is flip-inducing.

Flipping is an action applying to two things.

Understand "flip [a batter-blob] with [something flip-inducing]" as flipping.

Understand "turn [a batter-blob] with [something flip-inducing]" as flipping.

Check flipping:

if the cooking stage of the noun is goopy:

say "But [the noun] isn't cooked at all!";

stop the action.

Carry out flipping:

say "You deftly flip [the noun] with [the second noun]. After waiting a few moments, you transfer your creation to a plate, pour some syrup on the side, and consume it.";

if the cooking stage of the noun is:

-- slightly bubbly: say "It was pretty good, albeit slightly undercooked[if the noun is lumpy] and lumpy[end if].";

-- rather bubbly: say "It was [if the noun is lumpy]lumpy but still fairly[otherwise]ridiculously[end if] delicious: perfectly golden brown and crisp on the edges.";

-- very bubbly: say "It was quite tasty, albeit slightly burnt in areas[if the noun is lumpy], while lumpy in others[end if].";

-- ridiculously bubbly: say "It was burnt[if the noun is lumpy] and lumpy[end if] as hell.";

remove the noun from play;

end the story finally.
