I'm not usually a video game person, but right now in this program I'm in I'm creating a text-based adventure game. The instructor keeps wanting me to make it more challenging, so I put a maze in there that is so complicated that no one will love me after they play it. Muahahahaaaa...
Anyone else ever created a text-based game? I feel dumb for asking, but I'm actually proud of myself because I'm not a "techie" like some of the people in here.

Yes, ask any gamer what they love most about a good video game, and I'm sure "complicated maze" will pop right up in their mind.
I used to create a lot of games way back when in BASIC and also using text adventure creation programs. Fun stuff.

It's been years, but after Zork came out, I seem to recall trying to put together a few in BASIC as well.
Oh, the simple life, with my C64 ;D

I'm hoping to do this class for my final project in a couple of weeks. Of course, I'm not working too hard. We're doing Javascript now, and I'm doing "game research" on the MRFH forums... ;D |

I tried to make a space-based strategy game once, but never finished it. I was writing it in Matlab, so probably no one outside my school's engineering or math departments would be able to play it.
Does anyone have that software, in case I do finish it?

I've got access to Matlab, but would probably have a hard time convincing the other engineers that I needed to bump their modeling work, to play an adventure game  |

Just borrow the cd and install on your home computer.

Update on my game... I'm doing it as my research project, and the title of the research paper is:
"The Mysteries of Avalon: Think Harder Next Time".
;D
