linucksrox, this is only a text rpg. I know that what these guys said is a little too hardcore for you right now, so all you really have to do is create some kind of battle system (I would really look at gamefaqs.com, and at the final fantasy pages, this would help with the "how much damage he takes, and how much I take") , after that is completed, all you really have to do is add in the items you gain after battle. The text rpg idea is a VERY GOOD idea for beginners like myself because it helps you get used to the programming language (i'm a newb in c++, but getting up there in my AP class in JAVA). As for your storyline, I suggest you read a really good series (A.K.A Inheritance: Eragon and Eldest).
hoped I cleared that up a bit, good luck!
Nothing we said was 'hard-core' as you put it. The advice you gave him is a quick way for him to code himself right into a corner. Think before you code and if you don't want to think about the details, then please don't code.

So this is all he really has to do eh? That encompasses about a thousand lines of code unless you want some off the wall if () printf(), if () printf() stuff all crammed into a for loop or a while loop.
