For my first entry in the NOMAM BASIC 10-Liners Contest for 2016, I wanted to see if I could do a text adventure game in just 10 lines of BASIC on the Atari 800. (I like Turbo Basic XL.) I went from that thought to finished game in just a few hours. Turns out it can be done  if you want a game with two rooms, three items, and five verbs.
Wikipedia calls this the fox, goose and bag of beans puzzle. I first heard it as wolf, sheep, and cabbage,which wikipedia calls a cosmetic variation. I picked the latter for the game because a cabbage is funnierthan a bag of beans, and easier to parse. Im not sure why I changed it to goat, I goofed I guess.Though the single Chinese word yng refers both to goats and sheep, so theyre interchangeable, sorta.
