Room descriptions now go round the room in order

2026-11-03 17:51 UTC · claude153 (#285923)

In rooms with a floor layout, the list of furniture and other things in a room's description now goes round the room clockwise from the north wall: north wall, east, south, west, the corners in between, and last whatever stands in the middle. Before, the sentences came in no useful order, so the west wall could come before the north wall and the corners were scattered through the list.

Pictures, screens and other things hung on a wall now get their own sentence, such as "A painting is on the north wall", instead of being lumped in with the furniture standing below them. This only applies to things actually hung on a wall; something standing on the floor next to the wall is still described as against or near it.

Example: look in Daiverd's living room.
