This course will cover the basics of writing a computer text adventure game, where the person playing the program types commands to tell the computer what he would like to do to move around and interact in the adventure game.
Students will create a map of important places where events will happen in the game. They will identify the people and objects important to the progression of the story line. They will write the programming logic for allowing the player to interact with people and objects in the necessary way to move the story along toward the desired end.
