Meksilon Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 QBASIC is out-dated. Try QuickBASIC. =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuzwuzza Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 bah, write in in assembly =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapezoid Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 No, just use tiny lasers and inscibe the game into the hard drive. Actually, visit http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html , there's several great text adventure engines there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snootch Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Isn't qbasic and quickbasic the same thing? anyway, you can make good text adventure with qbasic (quickbasic), and there is a program that converts .bas files to exe (can't remember it, i have it on a cd somewhere). Turbo Pascal is pretty simple and good too. I used to make text adventures with qbasic when i had 286. looong time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snootch Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 I found this program: http://www.os2games.com/files/RADF100.ZIP It's supposed to be a text adventure developer which is easier to use than qbasic. I have never tried it so i can't really say if it's any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meksilon Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Isn't qbasic and quickbasic the same thing? No, QuickBASIC suceeded QBASIC. anyway, you can make good text adventure with qbasic (quickbasic), and there is a program that converts .bas files to exe (can't remember it, i have it on a cd somewhere). Yeah, I have that program - it's called QuickBASIC. =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snootch Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 AGS (Adventure Game Studio) is the best amateur adventure game developer. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapezoid Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 You need to be VERY experienced to make a stable adventure engine in a Clickteam product... It's really designed for more action oriented genres. AGS is great for adventures, but I still think you should do a text adventure. They're fun and easy to make (with the right tool), and good if you want to make an early draft version of a graphic adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
