anyone have any ideas i have to turn this thing in tommorrow

thrash423 · #3 28-Nov-2006, 06:39

just so everyone understands what im trying to do here in the zork game you have to be able to successfully move from room to room like if you are in the first room [5][3] and you can go north from there, you can be able to do it. im just not sure how to code that part.

thrash423 · #4 28-Nov-2006, 23:50

ok guys i have redone a little chunk of the code, now i need to figure out how to be able to start in room [5][3] (first room that is in the description) and i need to be able to cout the description of each room when i enter it. im really not sure how to even start doing this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. again im not allowed to use vector, simply because we havent covered that in class yet.
