seek is a ZZT-OOP direction token which points towards the player.

When an object and the player are aligned horizontally or vertically, seek will point directly to the player. When not aligned, it will randomly pick one of two directions (with a 50-50 chance) that generally lead to the player. For example, if an object is located to the northeast of the player, the command #go seek will make the object step south or west.

Quirks

  • seek is reversed when the player is energized. One can work around this by checking the energized flag and branching to alternate commands that use opp seek instead.
