The only tutorial I've seen that doesn't involve some text-adventure-creator tool is this one. It's in Java, but it shouldn't be too hard to port to C++.

assuming you finished the book you should be able to make one your self, that is the fun part, why did you learn c++. but if you didnt finish the book, finish it.

I'd recommend making it completely on your own. The only way you'll truly learn is by trial and error. Write some code, run it, write some more code, run it. You'll soon have a nice little game. I'd also recommend making up a quick tic tac toe game in C++. Do it your way, not the way a tutorial teaches you. Also, get a nice and simple C++ book to help you out.

Here's something to start you off:

#include <iostream.h>int main(){	cout << "Welcome to gordon7up's game of super-death.";	// More code here	return 0;}

You can go anywhere from that! Good luck!

void TextGame() {
printf("Text games suck.\n");
return;
}

WELLL, if you're going to do it in C++, ignore Rob completely. That just enforces bad practices (no arguments to main, using depreciated (sp) include file, and NO ERROR CATCHING!)

Figure out how to fix that and you're on your way [smile].
