[Gambas-user] OT: Textadventure-Game

[VBTricks.de.vu Webmaster]

Hello everybody,

as I'm going to convert my little textadventure-project to Gambas (I've 
started using FreePascal and also wrote a version in VB; I'm even 
thinking of writing an HTML-export) I need some help (not for the 
programming [at least not yet]).

I want to implement multilanguage-support but I only speak German and 
English, my French is very bad.

So I thought of just asking this multilanguage-mailinglist if there is 
anybody willing to help me, it's not much work!

Well "textadventure" does not completely fit to my program.
It's more a kind of multiple-choice adventure.

How you play:
You always get a short description of the place you are at or of the 
plot which is currently taking place. Then there are several different 
options ("go west", "climb tree" you can choose between). Depending on 
what option you choose, the plot continues.

The textadventures are written in a format similar to XML and my program 
interprets these files.

I thought I've read about books which do exactly the same on paper 
(depending on which option you choose you have to turn to page X and 
continue reading). Do you know the name for such books?

As soon as I've finished the Gambas version I'm going to upload the 
sources of the three different versions to my website.

Thanks in advance,

Stefan
