Does anyone know of a good site for single player text based RPG games? I''m coming near the end of my C++ book and I would like to gain some experiance using the language before doing on to Win32 programming. So I''m guessing a text based RPG game would take good use of the language while remaining in the DOS environment. However, all I can find on the net are these MUD sites which I don''t really want to make, being that I don''t expect anyone to play my game to that extent Also, if there is a better simple game that I should be able to create, please fill me in with ideas. I''m not really sure what I can do with C++ without moving into Win32. Thanks

If you are just learning programming, and are just looking to try to write some games, here are some to try, in order:

1. Higher/Lower (Guess the number)
2. Pong
3. Breakout
4. Tetris
5. Asteroids
6. Space Invaders
7. Pacman

Well, there should probably be a copyright symbol or two up there...
Try to make simple clones of these, I think just about every game programmer out there has at one time made a clone of most of these, in fact, a lot of programming tutorial use them to teach.

All of those up there can be done in dos. In fact, in a boring math class, I found out they can be done on a graphing calculator using TI-BASIC.
Dos graphics are done differently than windows, so some people say it''s going backwards, but it''s worth learning, if nothing else, because some of it is the same in windows.

Oh ok, so do you know of any dos related tutorials that use one of them games in it to teach. I can barely find complete tutorials that go through all aspects of these simple games, espcially creating them in DOS.
