Before I had structs, I used parallel arrays.
PRINT roomname(currentroom)
PRINT roomdescription(currentroom)
PRINT roomname(currentroom)
PRINT roomdescription(currentroom)
That''s weird, because that''s what my friend and I did for programming everything. Ah, the days before we knew about data structures (or linked lists, though the two go hand in hand), we''d have like 10 parallel arrays for everything...
Ah, the painful days of yore. Compliments to the guy that did it in a batch file, though, that''s gotta take the cake...

int monster_strength[max_monsters];int monster_health[max_monsters];etc. Ah, the painful days of yore. Compliments to the guy that did it in a batch file, though, that''s gotta take the cake...

Batch really is a watered down version of QB. I swear it is

Thats right, there are more dos commands than there should be hehe. You can create games in batch, i also did that. But only text ^^. Dos is basic but i think dos has less functions.
Infocom used a custom scripting language called Inform to write their text adventures in. It looks quite clean and is OOP but it can be quite complex.
Search for it and you should find some tutorials about how to program in it and maybe even some compilers/interpreters.

Well, no, they didn''t use Inform. Inform is a compiler written
by "reverse-engineers". Anyway, it''s THE language of choice
for text-adventures, since the games can be played on all
platforms. I wouldn''t be surprised if you can play Zork
on your neighbour''s VCR, and his dog.
Here it is:

yah, inform is nifty as hell... it is pretty easy to learn; i took one of my old GW-BASIC text adventures and re-did it with inform in less than a week.
