I now have Verb and Item Type context sensitive help working.
It is colorful text that is generated by grok. Occasionally, it is completely accurate, but as I don't give grok a lot of intimate details, it makes some stuff up, and this amuses me, so I leave it in.
I have updated the game's meta on itch to indicate that generative AI is used, because that's a thing.
As I was working on this, I noticed that there is no mouse way to go back from subscreens to the navigation screen, and while I did not have in mind originally that mouse was a way of playing the game fully, as I put the QA Tester hat on, I realize that I want to be able to do things with the mouse and not the keyboard, so I can enjoy my coffee at the same time as testing the game.
