Holy crackemoly! There aren't exactly tutorials that teach you
writing your own text rpg engine (not really an engine but i
won't bother you with that), You can try searching the board
for open source text rpg from wich i'm sure have come by.
What kind are you planning to create exactly? A moving map?
Or just a map that changes to the next one as soon as you
hit the edge? Or just entire text based and lines that tell what's
going on?

too vague, specify the simplicity

**coolazz0** · 02-20-2003

Oh you must have got me wrong..

See to me a text RPG is .

A story written out and say if you want to g north you type in north..

Example..

You enter a room were you have last found your brother..

There is a door south east and west

I choose west

You go through the door and you see a hammer.You can take

Take dont take..

I take etc.

It shouldn't be too hard. An understanding of OOP would help greatly.

**Travis Dane** · 02-20-2003

Aah yes, The Game Programming board is loaded with these
kind of RPG text games, Just use a quick search.

See if you went to the tutorial and read as a newbie you wouldent understand it what so ever..

Well at least i dont..

Is there a simple one to make..

If not ill do that tutorial.

There is no standard for the difficulty of making a text RPG. If you want it to be simple, make it simply

**RoD** · 02-21-2003

as simple as it gets (i forget if this one compiles)

You might want to adjust any mistakes made in that source, Like
when i openend it i saw

Code:

/*  These are our Preprocessor directives*/
#include <iomanip.h>
#include "keys.h"
#include <iostream.h> /* For input/output*/
#include <stdlib.h> /* For clear screen*/
#include <conio.h> /* For getch() - makes program pause till user
				      user presses a key*/

*shaking no*

They are preprocessor directives.
But the names of the header files are deprecated.

**Travis Dane** · 02-21-2003

If i'm not mistaken preproccesor directives are

Code:

#define name Travis
#define anothername RoD

Right?

**RoD** · 02-21-2003

the includes are preprocessor directives. that was a quick newb game, im not updating it.
