How could we help? Do you need ideas?

I can’t think of any other “tips ’n tricks” It’s pretty simple.

Just go to the TBG forums, and click “post new topic”.

The easiest way is to make a list.

Then input your text.

Re: How do you make a text based game?

Well, you should have a variable stating locations and scripts that run based on that variable. For example, if the variable was set to "Start" and the user wrote in "look around" then you would define what the result would be.

You would have to preset the available commands, such as look around, use " ", jump, walk east, etc.  smile
