*Prepares the day off of school 'cause of iced roads to fix the silliest bug*
I could have fixed it last night, but too lazy and tired.
There was a bug when entering 'Right -> Forward' and it crashed also, but i did fix it last night :P

Post by: Michael on February 22, 2013, 10:59:38 PM

Ok i fixed that bug..

The problem was that I added a silly increment that no longer needed to be there since I switched out my 'if...else' statement to a boolean to test the condition, and so that increment set the integer 'scene' to the value of two, and it was in the region that was supposed to be only one. It got rather confused of where it was, got lost and just shut off.

Just to let you know it is happy now :)

Awesome! But... I have a song for you.

Bug, bug bug bug. Bug, bug bug bug. BUG bug bug bug. BUG BUg bug bug! BUG BUG BUG BUG! BUBU BUU BUUUU BUUUUUUG!!!! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG!!!!! *Swims into lake and dies*

SPOILER ALERT!
Okay... walked into the door, then went to the docks, then got the key in the boat and went back to the door. When I typed FORWARD to go into the door, it sent me into the lake! NOO!!!!! lol...
SPOILER END!

Anyway, really neat, except for the idea that I died from a bug. :(... Is that what you were talking about the 'bug', but you just haven't uploaded it?

When you go to the docks it says "deck".
The fish "engulps" you.
Once you have gone to the left (the dock) you can never leave. It says "you travel back to the front of the mansion" but all commands happen from the dock.

You could just put it aside and take a break, then work on it again when you feel like it. Dropping a learning experience altogether isn't a good idea.

I have used a bit of methods within it.. I want to get to 20 rooms at max, i haven't even done 8 :P I have been trying programming with other criteria that is out of my league (such as McBukkit plugins) the furthest I got with Bukkit plugins is to reload the plugin and to make an item do something weird. EX: if i right/left-click something with a wooden axe, i lose health xD

If you aren't learning anything programming-wise with your text adventure then I say put it down and pick up something more challenging.

In the last month, I learned the Switch statement, which took me 1.2 minutes.

I proper text adventure would use data files for the rooms, exits, etc... if you haven't gone that route yet then there is an opportunity for learning.

I finished my project, what started as a remake of pacman became a tiled based maze escape from zombies. Kind of sucks because it doesn't have everything I want on it but it's a good start.

I haven't played unns game yet but I'll take a look when I get a chance

Don't check the current version, buggy and only works with j7.

@Paul, I set up exits, entry points, ect., but probably not the way you may think of it. I will work on the Text-Adventure, get to 20 rooms at max, post it and the source code for anyone who wants to see how I worked with it :)

I just figured you were doing it in code instead of in a data file. Maybe you are even still using a bunch of if/else if/else if/else if blocks. I haven't looked.

A proper text adventure will be using objects and data structures and the main loop won't have any game-specific code in it. Just routing the commands.

If I ever get around to writing a game programming book... this will all be covered in the first third (or so) of the book. :)

Title: Re: Mansion of Azazel v_0.0.1 [Shzylo's Text Adventure]
Post by: pspeed on May 02, 2013, 04:39:48 PM

...maybe doing some reading on the "command pattern" will give you some inspiration. It won't necessarily help you structure your rooms and exits but can break you from having to have if( cmd == "go" ) { do this go specific stuff } else if( cmd == "take" ) { do this take specific stuff }

If I write a book it will be in sections sold as separate Amazon e-books until all sections are done and then I'd offer a "complete" edition in print. The idea would be to put my advice of "writing a text adventure" and "write a simple Asteroids clone" into more detail for super-beginners. In fact, in my imagination, for the text adventure section I wouldn't even include any complete sample code. Just the excerpts here and there in the book. The idea is to give some guidance learning game programming in "language of choice" and the theory is that having a completely working example would make it too easy to cheat.

The second section would be more tech-specific and I'd probably include a working app in that case... though I'm tempted to wait for the third section for that, too.

I imagine writing this a lot but I haven't even done one bit of work on it other than thinking about it every time someone asks me how to write a game.

And since after thinking about the other answer, I realize that over the past decade I've stretched how I use "command pattern" all out of shape, I'll provide another hint.

Here is what the Java code for your main control loop should look like:

Code:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(System.in) );
String line = null;
while( (line = in.readLine) != null ) {
    Command cmd = getCommand(line);
    if( cmd == null ) {
        break;
    }
    cmd.execute(line);
}

You could also preparse the line into command and arguments and just pass the command name to getCommand(). It's slightly less flexible but keeps you from having to parse the line more than once. I think the gist of where I'm coming from is there, though.

Edit: modified the "null" condition to be the loop exit.

So, the engineer in me has me going against the "keep it simple" principles... so here's a revision that makes the concept simpler by parsing the command line ahead of time.

Code:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(System.in) );
String line = null;
while( (line = in.readLine) != null ) {
    if( line == null ) {
        break;
    }
    String[] args = line.trim().split(" ");
    String commandName = args[0];
    Command cmd = getCommand(commandName);
    if( cmd == null ) {
        break;
    }
    cmd.execute(args);
}

There are multiple ways, but this way Paul is showing is the most efficient or close to most efficient way to make a text adventure, command part anyways.

Heh, I have decided to cut from 20 rooms to 10, I already have 700+ lines of code, I will post the game, and the src code tomorrow, and I may also switch it to the format that Paul gave (if I feel like it, I may just test it out to understand it).
