----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. The game is meant to be suitable for beginners, but I think beginners
would struggle. It has a small tutorial, but it's not very helpful. It has a very small
vocabulary and uses some unorthodox verbs. It claims to use a two-word parser, but I needed
multi-word input when putting things in containers. Once I realised this, things became easier, but
there's still a lot of guess-the-verb.
Note: You have to find three ingredients to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich: peanut butter,
jelly and bread. The first two ingredients are found in your kitchen at the start. The third is
missing. The missing ingredient depends on the order in which you open the three containers in the
kitchen. In the solution below, the missing ingredient is the bread because I opened the box last.
If you open the cabinet last, the missing ingredient will be the peanunt butter. If you open the
fridge last, the missing ingredient will be the jelly. Got that?
Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once you
know what to do.
