Re: coding a text based game
I'd start by looking at any of the many fine open source text based games out there.

That should give you ideas about how you want the game to work (and how you don't want it to work). Then if you go opensource, you can even use some of their code to build your own. Heck, you might even decide to just contribute to an existing game and make it better.
But if you hit a tough spot, post specific issues on the forums here, and people might help.
I recommend looking at http://www.kingdomofloathing.com
By far the most fun game I've ever played. Really.

Instead of doing something that's already been done, you could aim at least a step above.mezy97 wrote:thanks everyone would anyone like to help me build this game if so let me kno thank you but im aiming for more a gangster type game if u ever heard of gangparadise.com or my friend created one http://gangstars.ulmb.com its really good i just wanna create one of my own. thanks everyone
