My first Text Adventure in C (Warning EXTREMELY SIMPLE)

#1 Post by MusicallyInspired » Fri Dec 21, 2007 10:32 pm

Whipped this up a couple days ago in half an hour as a joke response to a fellow Duke Nukem fan in a gameplay vs graphics argument. There are only 5 exact strings the "parser" will accept. one of them being "quit".

Enjoy.

Amazingly, it took me several whole minutes of typing different strings until i entered one that works: [spoiler]shoot alien[/spoiler]. Now I'll start looking for the other 3  :)

It's simpler than you'd think

[spoiler]Don't look too hard. They're all just different ways of doing the same thing. There aren't multiple ways to win. Just the one with typing different things. Should have made it a little harder. Would have been more interesting.[/spoiler]

Found another 1!
[spoiler]kill alien[/spoiler]

It might be easy when you know the answers, but trying to think what they are while constantly thinking how stupid you are for not finding them right away if they are "so easy" isn't that easy.
It's not very hard to find a good string - but it is to find them all.

I found out that [spoiler]kill alien[/spoiler] works too.

I was disappointed that use boot, kick alien, let alien suck it down, gib alien, freeze alien, shrink alien, microwave alien, tip alien, give tip, insult alien, score field goal and erm...decafate down alien's neck didn't work. ;)

Yeah, it just doesn't feel like a Duke game without those options. At least the line Duke ripped off of Ash made it in, though. :p
