Game hangs in noisy room

Open rothos opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I don't think this is intentional behavior (?). Whenever I enter a certain "noisy" room, the game stops responding correctly to my commands, and instead echos my input, converted to all caps. I have to ctrl+c to quit, and I lose my progress.

A clue to the problem is that when I enter that room, the game describes the room but doesn't print a prompt > at all.

>go e
You are in a high north-south passage, which forks to the northeast.
>go ne
You are in a large room with a ceiling which cannot be detected from
the ground.  There is a narrow passage from east to west and a stone
stairway leading upward.  The room is extremely noisy.  In fact, it
is difficult to hear yourself think.
There is a large platinum bar here.

I've been informed this might be part of the game
