Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

One of my hobbies is, as you may have surmised, game development. I specialize in Batch Code. Batch Code can be edited on Notepad and runs in Command Prompt. It's text-based, but it's still really fun.

There are a couple of great guides online.

Does anybody else write Batch? Or maybe Visual Basic?

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

I know a little Batch, and I use VB sometimes. VB is sort of unrelated.

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

Yeah it's coding but it's not related to batch, just like your last sentence...

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

Yes, I do write batch code. I (and a few other people, like meowmeow55) made SIMPL-DOS out of it. There is also a topic for it here on Scratch in the old Miscellaneous forum (which based on your registered date, you know nothing about).

That's a little off topic.

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

Huh, cool.  I don't suppose that you'd post the source code of one of your favorite projects?

What are you talking about?  I am me!  Nobody else!

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

Batch is not a programming language.
Batch is fun.
I don't like batch.
I like it at the same time.
Problem?

This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

I made this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37687009/WASD.BAT and this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37687009/Underlined-Text.bat.
The second one isn't really a game, but the first one can be used in a game, although it would probably take 100 years to write something with that code.  tongue  I am also making an OS in batch, but I need a good command-line encryption program so I can store passwords in the database.

Re: Batch Games - Text-based games on Notepad

I know a little Batch, but only a little.
I use it to create applications which remote-shutdown my siblings' computers.
I also use it to amuse myself watching them click on little executables which annoy them with endless popups or start random programs.

I wasn't under that impression. There are many different Text Editors out there. Do any of them work for your computer?

If I am not mistaken, Mac has a modified version of bash (The batch-equivalent for Unix and Linux). The commands aren't the same, but are pretty similar.
