Could anyone please provide me
the url or directly the source code of any simple java text-based game?
thanks

that is very vague to say the least, try being more specific, also this is a site for programming help, not direct solutions, to teach you to code better.

im not asking for a solution, my request might sounded a bit general, but general is also the answer im seeking; im just trying to understand how text-based java games work thus the request for ANY game's source code.
cheers

a good text based game doesn't really exist, but i see what your after.
Basically it's a 4 step process:
printf - to print some data for the user to read / make decisions on
scanner - get data / answer in from user
algorithm - determine what to do
printf - display answer

and repeat, lol
It is a difficult task to find java games which are text based, they are not a very popular thing. I have a midterm in a few hours, but i'll go through my hoards of saved code and see if i can find something you can use, even if it's not exactly a game

heh good luck in ur exam, i'd be grateful for the code if u have any

So while I doubt the original poster will ever look at this.
I recently got into making my own text based game.
I found this and it was quite helpful.

Gave me tons of ideas : )
But then again so did Zork....

Not one programmer should have never played Zork.
Even if you were born 10 years after its creation, it is still amazing : )

We don't give out code here. If you need help with code YOU wrote we'd be more than happy to help you if you start your own topic, not necroing old ones.
