Okay guys, I have a game I have to do that involve a map just like a chess map that I have to create.

I intend to do it in text based because my level of programming is very so- so.

You don't have to tell me the code. just tell me the ideas how to make it or how to find info to do it. I've google a lot but I still am very lost.

I just have no clue how to display the map and relate it with my character.

Thank you so much for your help

You could have an array that stores levels, or load it in from a file. the level would consist of characters, and be loaded into an array
then your character could be like a '@' and the walls a '*'. then let the player input the direction they want to go (w = up, s = down, a = right, d = left)
and check if your character can move that way without hitting a wall or a trap and reprint it.

heres an example map:

*  *  *  *  *  *  *
* @  *  #         *
*      *  *  *     *
*     *  *   *     *
*                    *
*  *  *  *  *  *  *

'*' is the wall
'@' is your character
'#' is the end of the level
