Krakatoa Tuna Melt
by David Welbourn

Krakatoa Tuna Melt is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 2002 by David Welbourn. It was a participant in the Speed-IF 10^−9 event.

In this small game, you play as the current champion of Krakatoa Survivor Challenge. To defend your title, you must assemble a tuna melt sandwich from materials on the island. May the best contestant win!

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 2 of the game.

Walkthrough

"Challenge" Camp

Biff stays at the camp. Russ and Kari will wander around randomly. You can ignore them entirely, or examine them later. Don't worry if they seem to get ingredients before you do; they'll never actually complete their own sandwiches.
