Hi Jared
I found a bug in your code: :)
before you send handling to the store you should close the fridge to make
sure that the beer stays cold
also I would prefer to take 'remove beer' and 'drink beer' statement out of
the IF condition as in my opinion they should be executed in any case
Here is my version:
loop
goto fridge
open door
if ! fridge_full_of_beer
close door
goto store
buy more beer
open door
fill fridge
end if
remove beer
drink beer
goto top of loop
:)
With regards
