Hellow,
I'm downloading the source and the other files now. I'll have a look at them
on here.
I'm getting a mac soon as well, although not sure when, so I'll be glad to
test it on there as well if you'd like. That'll possibly not be for some
time though, so ..
Anyway, talk soon,
Harmony.

Subject: My first version of an RPG game engine
If you want to check out the current version, you can download it here:
http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData_dist.zip
In there, run mapData.exe, but preferably from a command line window since
otherwise it might sort of skip the outro message when you finish the
mission/quest.
Either way, if you look at the following 3 files, you'll see they contain
all the data/info that this app, which is literally a sort of RPG game
engine is making use of as such, and they do also have comments etc. in them
to sort of explain the data as such:
mapData.txt
mapDataObjects.txt
mapDataNPC.txt
Aside from that, in the game engine itself, it will be simplest to type
something like ? in the window to let it give you info on all commands, but
the one extra thing is that after picking up an item/object, typing in
something like:
l objectName
will actually give you more details on it.
Anyway, this was done using python, and I have also had a guy test it on
linux/vinux, and it works well enough there as well:
http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData_pyc.zip
That was partly why wanted to do it using python as such, but also used it
as sort of practice, and if you want to check out the source (almost 700
lines of it), here's yet another URL:
http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/mapData_source.zip
Anyway, still going to add a few things in there, like maybe a bit more
environment interaction - as in performing some tasks on things, as opposed
to just picking up and placing items in locations, but might also make it
possible to do things like change terminology in game output itsself, so
that it then might be more useful for various other types of activities,
etc.
Stay well
