Need! More! Toast! is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 2003 by Adam Biltcliffe. It was a participant in the ToasterComp II Speed-IF event.
In this one-room game, you play as someone who's made eight slices of toast and put them all, from largest to smallest, on one of two plates glued to the counter. Naturally, you must sit to eat, and of course, toast only belongs on a plate. Can you move all the slices, one by one, to a plate on the table, without making any unbalanced stacks of toast?
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
The horror! The horror! It's an eight-high Towers of Hanoi puzzle, with slices of toast on plates instead of disks on posts. What makes it even worse than usual:
Kitchen
Here's some initial play, where you learn just how bad your situation is.
> x toaster. x toast. x blue plate. x green plate.
> x table. x chair. x counter. i. x white plate.
> take toast. (uh-oh. You have a 1-object carrying limit!)
> drop white. take toast. eat it. (I can't eat standing up?)
> sit on chair. eat toast. ("But you don't have all the toast yet!")
> put toast on blue. take blue. take green. (Those plates are glued down! Ugh.)
> take toast. put it on white. take toast from blue. put toast on white. (erk. gag. bibble. Slices are different sizes.)
> put toast on table (or chair, floor, counter, toaster? Nyet. Sorry.)
> transfer blue to white. empty blue. (No. But nice try.)
So, this is gonna be fun, right? Not in the slightest. I'm numbering the slices 1 thru 8, with 1 as the smallest.

Mmm, toast.
Now force the author to play his own game.
Note that you can only carry one thing at a time in this game.
During the game, the response to score is: You have not yet sated your hunger for toast.
If you win the game, the score message becomes: You have toast and also too much patience.
This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
