Post your best text game here.

Please include source, a readme(optional), and zip it. :cool:
Oh yeah, the exe file.
AND DON"T RENAME THE .CPP to .EXE. IT WON"T WORK!

When do people finally start using getch()? It sucks to constantly
having to press up and enter, up and enter, up and enter...

i do use getch. Look at the source code!
I laerned how to do

Code:

---

getch();
if (getch() == anykey) //example
{
cout << "YOU SUCK!\n";
return 0;
}

yesterday.
So cut me some slack. This also allows people to BACKSPACE the wrong input. Or enter 888 to go north 3 times! Sheesh.

Sorry to ........ you off pal, I ment using it for moving around,
Like if you push 8 it immidiatly moves north for example.

Whatever. yea-yea. Sure-sure. LOL. I'll have to recode it eventually. Im still working on the user levels.
It won't level up.
Did you read the Readme? I put alot of work into it.

?????

*Enters explorer, renaming a cpp to exe*

Yes, it does work to rename cpp file to exe files. Successfully executing them is another thing :rolleyes:.

er. i meant, compile them, dont rename them, because the program won't run. It was a lame attempt at joke.

Follow the link in my sig, and you can download one of my text games called Dynamic-Toe. It's a slight variant of Tic-Tac-Toe; I found it boring, but it might be fun for some of you for at least a couple of minutes.

lol i am working on my own text rpg, and i am useing it for my school final project its going to be great, sound when you engage battle, small cities were youc an buy supplies and such and many other features be on the look out for ludlow :)

That's weird; how is my sig empty?:confused: Also, travis, how were you able to see my sig? I can't even see my sig. I really have no idea why that is either; I can see other people's sigs. Does anyone possibly have an explanation for this?:(

Btw, did anybody play my game?

EDIT: Ok, this is really strange, because I can see my sig now. Wth is going on lol...

EDIT2: Ah, it was only that one single post that didn't include my sig for some reason, all else is good in wonderland.

I played your light game. I didn't find it to entertaining. But that becuase i prefer battle games.

I found Tech's light game most enjoying, Simple yet addictive.

Ah, hey, thanks, travis. Right now I'm making a new update to the game, since I don't have much time to work on anything more complex/new. As you might have noticed the game isn't very new considering the last update to the game was in August lol.

Really travis? I found it kind of annoying. The fact that i couldn't get past level 3 because of the dang shroud and short time limit.

Nothing personal, Tech, i just don't like those type of games.

I enjoy any type of TEXT game there great fun expessially if you get into them and relAX :)

Here is mine, i stopped working on it a while ago. It is full of bugs. Like if you try to load a game without having saved a game first it will just freeze. There is only three levels right now and two total areas. No weapons, no spells, no armor etc. Just stats that influence how much dmg you do and take based on enemy defense or your defense. I don't think I'm going to work on making it better. The code is just one huge sourcefile and I would have to pretty much recode the whole thing to make it more managable.

Yeah, on v1.0 the game was kind of easy, and my one friend made fun of me because of how easy it was. So in v1.1 I decided to make the game a lot harder. Consequently I made the game too hard, and it's near impossible to beat if you don't play it on the easiest levels. As for the overall fun for the game, it's boring right now, but in my next version, I hope to change that and make it a little bit more exciting and diverse.

Try adding some traps. And different textures. I see that every square is the same thing.That gets boring. Some good music. I am really making mod music, so you can use fmod to play some music that i make. :D

I've never made a text game before but you guys got me interested. Here's a simple card game I threw together this afternoon.
