A while ago I wrote an article on text-based adventure games, but recently I learned that these simple little projects can be so, so much more.

For instance back in the day one of the best video games, well, video game series was Zork, a text-based adventure game. Many people still play the game and admire it today.

Zork is quite different to the kind of text-based adventure I created in my previous article, however. You see Zork uses a command-based system meaning throughout the game there is a certain set of commands you need to enter.

For instance ’n’ to go north or ‘score’ to display a player’s score, while in my games I use a system that asks the player to enter a word, usually a choice of two. So maybe that is something to explore when creating one of these simple projects.

Another thing I would find interesting would be incorporating a bit of python turtle into the project.
