Build a story game!
Learn how to build text-based adventure games where the player makes choices that change the story!
A text adventure is a game where the story is told through text. The player reads a situation, chooses what to do, and the story continues based on their choice. You will use if/else, input, and variables to create branching stories!
💡 Think of it like this:
Think of a text adventure like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book. You read a page, pick an option, and flip to a different page based on your choice. Each playthrough can be completely different!
Text adventures combine everything you have learned: variables, if/else, loops, functions, and input. They are a fun way to practice all your skills while building something creative.
