# Photopia (Adam Cadre, online Release 1.30, serial 120416, Z-machine V5)
# VERIFIED COMPLETE SOLVE: won=True (win text), died=False
#
# Reproduce with the RNG-pinned replay harness (free, no API):
#   cd ~/src/zwalker
#   python3 scripts/replay_solve.py games/zcode/photopia.z5 walkthroughs/photopia_verified_win.txt --seeds 4
#   => photopia_verified_win.txt: VERIFIED 2/None at seed 1 | 110 cmds | died=False | won=True
#   (the "2" is not a score: Photopia is scoreless, and the status-line
#   global the score reader falls back on holds scene-dependent noise; the
#   win is decided purely by the WIN_TEXT directive below)
#
# Photopia is Adam Cadre's landmark 1998 puzzle-light narrative, told as a
# chain of color-keyed vignettes that alternate between Alley Mackaye's real
# life and the bedtime stories she invents. This is the stripped-down z5
# build (1.30) made for online play.
#
# Ending: the last playable scene is Alley's nursery - her father mounts the
# Photopia screen over the crib, you push the white button twice to reach
# the drifting-circles mode, and "turn off light" closes the story ("Good
# night, Alley... You turn out the light."). One final keypress then shows
# the closing screen - Cadre saves the title card for the end: the word
# PHOTOPIA over "by Adam Cadre" - and the interpreter halts cleanly. That
# title card is empirically the last text the binary ever prints, so the
# game is scoreless and this walkthrough carries it as the WIN_TEXT
# directive.
#
# Route notes: the vignettes are separated by keypress prompts (the color
# banner screens each swallow two keypresses - one to reach the banner, one
# to dismiss it into the next scene; real-life scenes take one). Through the
# GameWalker pathway each keypress consumes one filler command ("z"). The
# conversation menus ("talk to alley") are ordinary line input: reply with
# the option number. Beats covered: the drunk-driving prologue, Wendy's red
# planet salvage (the seed pod), the swimming pool CPR rescue, the sunken
# spaceship and undersea castle, the hospital blackout, the golden beach dig
# (tiny treasure chest), the front-yard Space Camp talk, growing wings over
# the crystal labyrinth, asking Alley to the dance, the second car ride and
# the crash, feeding the stone-forest wolf (dirt + seed pod + a gold coin's
# worth of rain), the purple dream of the queen, and finally Alley's nursery:
# push the white button twice, then turn out the light.
#
# Why a pinned seed: the route wins at every RNG seed tried (1-8) -
# Photopia has no combat or random hazards, and the red-planet walk
# (5 x north to the greenhouse, 5 x south back) and the six-turn darkness
# scene paced out here held constant across the sweep. A transcript hash
# sweep found exactly one RNG-dependent output on the whole route: Rob's
# random drunken antic in the prologue car ride (checking the mirror /
# wipers instead of turn signal / fiddling with the radio, varying with
# seed). Pinning seed 1 fixes that line ("Man, I am one handsome dude")
# and makes the replay bit-reproducible under the standard harness.
