Very cool.
I have never played text adventures on a computer, but I like the simplicity of the idea of "connection between places".
Two suggestions:
(A) You add a onkeypress listeners for the arrow keys to mean: NORTH, EAST, WEST, SOUTH? (B) Add an ASCII ART version ;)
Text adventures are not too far from "choose your own adventure" books.... hm... this will kick ass as an educational app. Imagine the island is full of "level spots" like in Mario World and each "spot" is one question from khan-exercises.
- willvarfar 15y agoThanks :) I think arrow keys are a bit overloaded inside text boxes already and should be used for editing, but I would add "w" as a shortcut for "west" and "e" for "east" etc if I could travel back in time. Would also have added command-auto-completion like in IDEs. That'd stop the complaints by people who don't know to type "HELP" ;)
