RogsTextAdventure - Delphi Edition!

Original remit: Create a simple 80s style text adventure that runs in a console, then translate it into as many console supporting languages as possible to show my flexibility and knowledge of programming languages.

Originally done in VB .NET it was converted too:

• C#
• Delphi
• COBOL (!!)

As a tech demo it is currently limited to movement only via simple commands such as: move north Required some utilities to be written especially for converting the level file into a COBOL friendly format.

Why no C++ version? Well because C# is basically in many ways the same! (Might do it later on..)

This Delphi version was a bit fiddly as it does not natively have a console class so needed to dust off the old WinAPI knowledge and roll up my sleeves and doing it manually!

Future Changes

Currently has a very primtive parser needs to handle more commands other than movement directions Also would be peachy to have objects in the level..
