=== Dynamic Object Creation ===

Objects created with ZZT-OOP (like executing '''#put [dir] object''' in the direction of an empty space) have no ZZT-OOP program and default to a blank graphic (char 1). Objects can be cloned with their state and program intact via [[duplicator|duplicators]].

=== Changing an Object's Color ===

Objects cannot change their own color, and '''#become [color] object''' will delete the object's ZZT-OOP program and assign it char 1. All objects of a given color on the board can be changed at the same time using '''#change [old_color] object [new_color] object'''. One object may '''#put [dir] [color] object''' in the direction of an existing object and change its color that way.

=== Gameplay ===

* The [[player]] cannot shoot an object while standing directly next to it: there must be at least one space between them and the object. The reverse is ''not'' true for objects.
