Old Style Text Adventure

Tue Jun 18, 2013 9:22 pm

I wrote this as a book a few years ago and I've recently been converting it to various formats, including the Raspberry Pi.

Hope you enjoy it.

Unzip it and have a look at the README file. It tells you how to install and run it :)

Done. I like it, not love it. Know why? I cannot save my game. Awww, bomb under the bed. Nice!

Yes, the save feature would be nice and a future version will allow you to save and also keep a tally of your percentage completed.

I wanted to get the code ported to the different versions before going back and adding features.

Thanks for playing though.

And a section where you can go to the place just before you die? I like it a lot, all the same!

Ha! That's cheating. No text adventure I ever played allowed you to do that. :D

Why do I walk miles to get to the toilet? I would have died by then! (lol) :D
