I'm fairly new to programming, but I know probably enough to get started on making a pretty simplistic text based game. I just can't find any tutorials anywhere to help me out, and I'm not really sure where to start... i don't want to do graphics or anything like that (yet). I just want to make a dungeon game where you get to explore, collect stuff, maybe fight monsters or something, use items collected (like trigger events or unlock rooms), and just be able to go through a short story with a couple different endings. any ideas of where to start or any links to tutorials about text based games (no graphics) would be very helpful. thanks
