001: Reading

Our first assignment was to create a text adventure game in basic. The game is very similar to the old Choose Your Own Adventure books, players use the power of their imagination to conjure the events in the books. 

The game we were to create was a Haunted House text adventure. Initially I spent time reading up on the resources provided about early programming and the syntax.  The book was detailed and gave examples throughout. As this would be for many at the time of publishing, the first introduction to programming, it is quite detailed.
