The Epic Text Adventure maker. An API to create simple text adventures based on xml files.

Getting started

Here is an example how to use the library properly:

IOHandler io = SharedIOHandler.getInstance();

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File("my-game.xml"));
TextAdventure adventure = io.read(in);

adventure.addListener(new AdventureListener() {

    @Override
    public void onAction(AdventureEvent event) {
       // Do something with the output
    }
});

// Add command
adventure.command("go west");

Commands

There a several commands which are supported by epic:

• go [west — east — north — south]
• attack creature name
• take [item name — all]
• drop item name — all]
• use item name
• open [door name — chest name]

You can pass them as a parameter to the command method of the TextAdventure object.
