Twilight's Developer Test

From LSWiki

Here's a little "test" of what it's like being a developer.

Here's a room description:

The inner walls of the room are composed of irregular triangular iron slabs that form a 
large circle with dome-like slope to the ceiling.  A long white gold bar curves around the
edge of half the room.  Black oak tables, chairs, and barstools furnish the room.  A sparkling
paper lantern hangs from the center of the ceiling, casting the room in a stark, flickering
illumination.  The decor of the room is overall elegant and esthetically unified, deliberately
muted in color with a few riches for adornment, with only the crude iron of the walls serving
as a reminder of the harsh exterior architecture.

Pretty simple. Here's the code for that room description:

void configure() {
    ::configure();
    set_code("the White Sprite");
    set_short("the {{bright white}White Sprite Bar and Grill}");

If every time you want a four sentence description, you're willing to do all that, then maybe, just maybe, you can consider being a developer.
