Initialize random number generator
Did you know::
You can google nearly any function and you'll get a documentation page as a result. Try googling srand().
This simple tactic will teach you much about programming.
Pay attention to the #include at the top of any examples as most new functions come with a new file to #include.

Did you include <conio.h> and use the _getch() in your code? For sleep() use <time.h> and _sleep() (this is a second timer in Pelles C. For the sub second version, you need to go into Project Options and check the "Use Microsoft Extensions", box, and save that. Then include <window.h> and use Sleep() (with the upper case S), and re-build the project.Originally Posted by gratiafide
I think that the best way of developing this sort of game is to imagine that you are on a chess board with discrete locations. Put something like a mountain in there and comment on it every now and then - Remember that these story based games need to verbally create everything the user sees and feels.
The story should be across separate text files - For each location you need a few versions for things like poor luck, good luck, returning, ect...
Location A1 could be in a text file called A1_0.txt, A1_1.txt, A1_2.txt
A1_0.txt could have the intro message, a description of the land and/or character
A1_1.txt could be if the player returned to place A1 and was lucky
A1_2.txt could be if the player returned to A1 and was unlucky
The player's location, health, gold and special features picked up can be stored into a struct - There should be an option of saving the game, which would involve writing the contents of this struct to a text file. Each monster needs to have their information saved as well, just in case the player returns to the same location.
Fact - Beethoven wrote his first symphony in C
