Game Zork for the access test to the UPC's Masters Advanced Programming for AAA video games.
This is an implementation of the well-known Zork videogame. It is a text-based video game where the player has to enter commands in order to advance in the game and win.
This implementation plays through the journey of our hero Link, who is in the dragons' castle, to slay the dragon and free his village from their tirany.

After a while not programming in C++, it's good to be back into it doing this text-based videogame. I had a joyful time.

In the entrance, attack the rat and then loot it to get an old key. Use this key to open the west and east door. Go west.

You will be in the Sphinx's room. If you talk to it, it will tell you a riddle. You need to figure out the answer (you have three guesses) to have the sphinx unlock the door, leading to the north. Once the riddle is answered, go north. Get the right answer the first try or otherwise your game will be over sooner than later.
