Anyways, I looked it up and it seems to be a textbased game with commands..? That's how I'll have to do it. In order to compile it online (with the compiler I use), I have to write it in c++ (The other 2 languages I know [fortran and Java] aren't compatible with the compiler), and c++ doesn't have GUI capabilities. If I wanted to make GUI I'd have to use java (which isn't compatible with my online compiler) or learn another language like C# or Python.

*raises hand* I'll do it, how are we gonna work this? the creative aspect is all yours. You can work on the storyline while I work on the algorithm. Once you've finished the storyline, I apply it to the algorithm and we've got ourselves a game... (I can post it to the forums via Codepad)

Should I develop an area or map for you to reference? Throw in some easter eggs? I don't want to make it too complicated for you.

really you can add anything you want. If I need to omit some features, we'll deal with it then...

@phil, kk, I'll start working on a plot. Okay, and there's no need to rush. We don't have any specific deadlines we have to meet...
