How to find the documentation

This guide shows you where to look when you want to know how to do something in Dolpher.

Ask the game

Most answers are in the game itself. In the play page's command box:

Type help (or ?) for the list of commands. Each line shows the command, what it takes, and what it does. A # stands for something you type, such as a direction or a name:
```
Link # # #       Link the exit at direction # to a room # at its direction #
```
For the commands that take a keyword, ask for their own lists:

Type To see

show ? What show can list: exits, an object, the room's details.

set ? What set can change in a room you own.
Type a command with nothing after it. Many commands that need more tell you what to type. For example, unlink alone answers:
```
To remove an exit, type UNLINK <direction of exit>.
```

Type	To see
`show ?`	What `show` can list: exits, an object, the room's details.
`set ?`	What `set` can change in a room you own.

Editor forms, such as the one customize opens, have notes under their fields. Each message field also shows its default text.

You can shorten any command to the first letters that no other command shares: cust for customize, l for look, i for inventory.

Read the guides

Click docs at the top of any page of the Dolpher site, or go to /docs/ on it. You can keep the guides open in a second browser tab while you play. Start with these:

Ask a person

Type who to see who is playing now. Ask them with say, or with ' for short: 'how do I get out of here?
Ask your admin. Admins can do things you can't, such as move you out of a room you can't leave, or raise the number of rooms you may own.
