    Text Adventures

    I'm intrested in writing a text adventure in C. I can't find any simple guides out there. I looked pretty long. I'm no intrested in using something like TADS or any other "Text Adventure" programmign toolkit. I want to write something from scratch in C.

    I was wondering if someone could point me to a toturial or give me some basic steps on what functions to write for a text adventure game.

    Thanks!

    Basic commands are printf() and fgets()

    Things I suggest looking into:
    -structures
    -typedef
    -how to pass data via a pointer

    There are more but I can't think of them right now

    Righting a single user text adventure isn't extremely difficult just time consuming. There is no need for any special libraries or whatnot.
