based on what you posted before, I don't know if I should try it. I think I'll skip but curiosity is killing me.

It doesn't do much other than move north and south between two locations.

I used to mimic Beam Software's Hobbit/Lord of the Rings output because they did it so well - ie:

'You see a rock, a hubcap, a sword, a book and some medication.'


I liked the way that they punctuated everthing into sentences.

I've not done an adventure game for a long time - but it is pretty much:

Build your objects into a string and, as you add them, you add a comma and a space after the word so 'a rock' becomes 'a rock, '. This gives you:

'You see a rock, a hubcap, a sword, a book, some medication, '


You then reverse through the string and replace the final ', ' with a '.'. - ie change the comma and space to a fullstop/period.
You then seek the next comma (in reverse) and replace it with ' and '.

You also use the same system for visible exits - ie:

'You can go North, East, Southwest and Northwest.'

Tried the adventure, but it will not run on my rig. The main window opens and then immediately gives me a "Memory Access Violation" and ends.

Windows 7-32 bit.

Tried it on Windows 7 and it is working.
Got the A4 paper.

Nice.But, this is strange ... something on this stuff remember my "own" games!

I think this looks interesting. I always liked the old 'Zork' style stuff - I'm going to give this a try ...
