I'm writing a text adventure game in C++ in SDL. Is this

If you enjoy it then it's not a waste of time

Depends on what you are trying to achieve

>>55631251
I'm hoping I can sell it.

Then maybe you are wasting your time cause lot of open source text games are available that you can just build yourself to your liking

>>55631264
utter waste of time

What the fuck are you doing.

could be emulating an old terminal with cool shaders, that would be pretty neat to see.

>>55631887
You can use SFML for shaders, you know, and it has almost the same weight of SDL and half the boilerplates.
For a text adventure though I'd have suggested an interpreted language, so he could do all kinds of dynamically chosen neat things in its story without having to foresee them in the design.

yeah i actually was working on a text adventure game in python a while back, all rooms were defined in xml so it was pretty fucking customisable. only problem was that im shit at programming so i never finished it.

I feel you, I programmed a rogue-like engine with 2D isometric graphics, shaders, materials, normal mapping, dynamic lighting...and it lies somewhere in the dark of my HDD because I need to graduate fron this university and I don't have time anymore for this shit.

Not at home right now, I'll see if I can find it in my private bitbucket; hope this thread stays alive until then.

Warning: it's unfinished and barely compiles, Windows only.
