Gettin' Started

Heya-

Don't know what this is or what it will be.

This past Saturday, I picked up "Beginning C++: Through Game Programming, Third Edition." I've taken a Java course and a .Net class before and am learning some code at work, so I thought I'd try to create something.

During my .Net class at BCC, I made a game called Battle2! It wasn't that fun, but was silly and functional. Now I'm working on something else. Right now I'm thinking of it as Battle3, but it could turn into something completely different.

Anywho, after a couple of hours of work I did this weekend, Battle3 consists of walking around a grid and looking around. Each co-ordinate on the grid represents a room. If you get to 0,0 on the grid, the game ends. There aren't any walls or whatnot yet, so it isn't very challenging.

Here are my current development goals:

Movement:

• Add walls to the grid.
• Add a description to each room.

Inventory:

• Add ability to pick up and carry items.
• Add ability to drop items in rooms.

That's all for now!
