(Updated December 4, 2023 - fixed some typos.)
A simple text adventure game that showcases the elements of a text adventure game such as movement, inventory, game states, clearing of screen, saving and loading save files, debugging/debug mode, etc.
There are five rooms in this text adventure.
To enable debug mode - make sure the debug flag is set to 1, then type "xyzzy" at any time during the game.
To save/load game, type "save" or "load" at any time during the game.
(Save files generated by this game is compatible with C version of Escape.)
I have tried to anticipate everything a player could type in the game and developed a response for each potential input.
