# Theatre - An Interactive Night of Horror (Brendon Wyber / Cave Rock
# Software, Release 2, serial 951203, Z-machine V5)
# VERIFIED COMPLETE SOLVE: 50/50, won=True, died=False
#
# Reproduce with the RNG-pinned replay harness (free, no API):
#   cd ~/src/zwalker
#   python3 scripts/replay_solve.py games/zcode/theatre.z5 walkthroughs/theatre_verified_50.txt --seeds 4
#   => theatre_verified_50.txt: VERIFIED 50/50 at seed 1 | 357 cmds | died=False | won=True
#
# Ending: the full one - the property developer, trapped overnight in the
# haunted theatre after retrieving a forgotten pager, unmasks the theatre's
# secret (Eric Morris's 1898 journal, the witch Elizabeth, and the alien
# presence waiting behind the observatory window), is hurled back in time
# to the burning mansion, eases dying Trent's pain with the pain-killer
# tablets, and shatters the star crystal against the young witch in the
# wine cellar. Time snaps back: Rienhart is alive again, hands over the
# pager, and the game ends with "*** You have won *** ... a score of fifty
# out of a possible fifty in two hundred and ninety-five turns".
#
# Route highlights: the patterned window burns its sigil into the telescope
# lens (the gas mask lets you re-seat the lens; looking through it yields
# the star crystal); the pocket-watch dial is pulled and turned to 7:40 so
# the ghostly usher accepts the old ticket ("Enjoy the show!"); the safe
# opens by alternating TURN DIAL LEFT / RIGHT while wearing the
# stethoscope; the swinging chandelier is ridden from the eastern balcony
# to the sealed western one; glue stops the mannequins; poor Rienhart's
# poisoned corpse pacifies the pit-beast; a popcorn trail lures the sewer
# rats east so the sluice gate can flush them (pull the lever the turn
# after they scurry to the western end); and the four eye-pearls unlock
# the statue's dagger per caged Trent's riddles - green/Control on top,
# red/Mana at the bottom, violet/Strength on the right, blue/Wisdom on
# the left.
#
# The journal menu: all 19 loose pages must be collected AND read (worth 3
# points). READ PAGES opens a raw-keypress menu; in this command list the
# literal word "enter" is the RETURN key (the interpreter maps it to
# keycode 13 at read-a-single-key prompts, since a walkthrough file cannot
# hold a bare blank line), "n"/"p" move the selection, "z" dismisses the
# per-entry [Please press SPACE.] pager, and "q" resumes play. When the
# selection scrolls past the 11 visible entries it lands on the last
# entry, so the list is finished by walking backwards with "p".
#
# Why a pinned seed: Theatre runs timed and random events - the knife thug
# arrives outside on a schedule, the sewer rats patrol the trench on their
# own cycle (the lever must be pulled exactly when they reach the sluice
# end), random horror-quote boxes interleave with normal output, and
# ambient hauntings consume RNG draws. Seed 1's stream lines all of these
# up with this recording's fixed pacing; replay_solve re-pins the seed
# after boot so every replay is identical.
