hello all can anybody recommend a book with which i can get started programming a text-based game? most of the literature seems to be dedicated to 3-D games ... the game i have in mind is a basketball coaching game that will have a simple algorithms, a nice gui but no animation cheers, bison

Well, a book would be a little too much. However, there are some tutorials out there on making text rpgs. On www.gametutorials.com they''ve placed 3 tutorials about text rpgs. I have read those and changed them(ALOT). You can start by adding rooms into a linked list instead of always reading from disk. Also, you can add items too pickup. Take a look, it''s quite simple.
