Text Based Adventure!

Greetings Folks!

A new and slightly different (by my standards) angle for this project.  I present a fully functioning text-based adventure game engine.  Use keys up, down, left and right to navigate the maze!

This was written to tie together some concepts that I've been working on for my CodeClub students.  The TextWriter sprite may actually be of some use for others in future projects.

As I progress with my students through the project, i'll be adding items, monsters, friendly characters and any other brilliant ideas people suggest.

This will probably get submitted to the SDS 8bit gallery once it's 'finished'

Enjoy!

I suppose, it's technically possible using the TextWriter sprite and key-pressed blocks to do text input, but it seems... klunky!

One of the possible future directions for this project is indeed a simplistic natural language parser so we can do things like 'get lamp' 'go north' 'examine door' etc. 

I hope you enjoyed my little maze, it's been a fun project!
