Granny's Garden: the solution

01 · The answers

Every answer, in order

There are four searches, two in each program. Each ends with a password, and the next search starts by asking for it.

Esther

T Y a1 N Y Y Y Y Y Y Fig Y N Stairs Apple N Cupboard N N Cupboard Y Green S

Tom

Clare and Anna

Jessica and Daniel

Y River Cottage G Y Forest Cottage K Hill Y Y Lake Pompom N N Castle Y Lake Y Y Y Forest Y

Most answers are recognised by a few letters inside them, so a misspelt answer is often taken (typing an answer). The magic tree is chosen at random unless T is typed first, and a wrong guess is only asked again.

On this disc, Part 1 started with CHAIN"GRAN1" runs out of memory before Tom can be found (the bug). Typing LOAD"GRAN1" and then GOTO3280 runs the program's own move down to &0E00, where there is room, and the play-through below was made that way. Part 2 runs to the end from CHAIN"GRAN2".

02 · Esther

Esther, in the woodcutter's house

The first program, from the magic trees to the house. The buttons step through every screen the game showed, and each row of the table jumps to its question.

	The question	Answer
1	Ready to start?Typed first, it makes the magic tree a1, as the teacher's booklet says (the magic trees).	`T`
2	Ready to start?	`Y`
3	There is a magic tree here. Which one do you think it is?After T. Otherwise it is one of b1, b2, c1, c2, d1 and d2, by chance, and a wrong guess is asked again (the trees).	`a1`
4	Do you have a password?Not the first time.	`N`
5	Can you see a cave?This and the next four go on whatever the answer.	`Y`
6	Do you want to go in the cave?	`Y`

12	Would you like to take an apple from the tree?For the snake.	`Y`
13	It is very dark but you can see a long stick by the wall. Are you going to take it?Thrown at the snake, the stick turns out to be an evil wand, and the Witch comes.	`N`
14	Where do you wish to go?The kitchen's pot brings the Witch; the backroom holds only a note.	`Stairs`
15	What can you throw at the snake?The snake dies, and a note says that one broom is now two. The stairs can be left out.	`Apple`
16	Are you going to take it?The stick, again.	`N`

The hallway is the middle of the house, and every room leads back to it. It can be visited 19 times: the 20th starts the game again (starting again). The Maps tab has every room.

14	This is my lake. Have you come for water?The water costs the key, and the castle needs it first.	`N`
15	Do you want to know my name?Asked now, the name costs the key, and the game can no longer be won.	`N`
16	You are at the lake Where do you wish to go?The keeper takes the cake, and the key opens the door. You keep the key.	`Castle`
17	Are you ready to explore?Daniel.	`Y`
18	You are at the castle Where do you wish to go?	`Lake`
19	This is my lake. Have you come for water?	`Y`
20	I want a key to eat, first. Can I have your key, please?Water, for the key.	`Y`
21	Do you want to know my name?Redhorn.	`Y`
22	You are at the lake Where do you wish to go?The dwarf takes the stone, and the water puts out the fire.	`Forest`
23	Now you can see a tall tower. The door is open wide. Do you want to go in?Jessica, and the end.	`Y`

Two roads bring the Witch, the forest to the castle and the cottage to the lake, and the solution takes neither. The Maps tab has the five places and every road between them.
