Create Your Own Game Using Notepad

Create Your Own Game Using Notepad

Now you must be having some knowledge about the Batch Programming after reading my previous post. Using some commands from the Batch Programming we can create some simple and amazing games of our own

To create your own Batch game, you should follow these easy steps:

o    Decide the story-line of the game: You should draw a sketch of how your game will work. Remember, creating games in Batch script has limitations. You will not be able to create more of a game than a text-based game. It can be a quiz or a scenario game, but you will have only text. As to whether or not you want to have ASCII graphics is up to you, but the game will still be based entirely on text input.

o    Learn the Script and Commands: Batch script is not very hard to learn. You should have some knowledge about some important Batch Codes. Some of them are as follow: 

echo	To display a message on the screen
title	To give a name to the title bar of the window
color	To set the color of the background and the text
ping localhost -n 5 >nul	To delay the execution of the following command by 5 seconds [you can change the value]
set	To declare a variable
if	The if command is used to determine what will happen if a certain event occurs. After the if statement (if [something]), a command follows.
cls	To clear the screen
goto	To go to the label mentioned [goto Label] and execute the block under the label.
:Label	To create a label. That is to provide a name/tag to a block of the program. [you can name it anything, even :a].
pause	To pause the execution and ask the user to press any key to continue.
