Text Based Games

Postby johnno56 » Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:50 am

I am relatively new to GE but I have noticed that most of the games created are mainly graphically based. This may sound like a foolish question, and may seem like a "backward step", but can GE produce Text Based games? I have a TRS80 (oops! my age is showing!) Vocabulary Quiz that I have converted to several formats of BASIC. It is primarily text and uses a lot of words and definitions of those words (over 15,000 words and meanings) and I am curious to know whether or not GE can produce text games.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

J.
May your journey be free of incident.

Definetly possible to do in GE, but that could take a while if your only starting out in C. Good luck! We'll all be here to help you if you need it.
