Beowulf

As some of y'all know, I was thinking about a project to do in Java. A banking simulation or a little game in Java. Guess what? My final decision is neither! Well sort of. I just won't be using Java. Today I was assigned a project over Beowulf for my British Literature class. After thinking about it hard for a little bit and contemplating ideas, I finally found one. An interactive story/text based game.

The design is still coming to my head, but basically I am thinking about retelling the story of Beowulf in a game (text based). I am doing text based, as that way I know I can finish it. I only have 2 weeks, and I don't really want to rush a crappy graphical game out in 2 weeks and it be short and dumb and crash on the teachers computer. I am still not sure of the language I will use (C++ or C#). I know some of y'all might be saying "C#! It's easier! No contest", but I am a lot more familiar with C++ (been programming in C++ for 2 years and C# for about 2 months). Well, I'm a go write down some design ideas, eat something. Do my math and then get started.

Any ideas from y'all on how it can play out? All it has to do is be about Beowulf and feature the pegan (or h/e it is spelled [no notes in front of me]) and Christian allusions. Any ideas are welcomed! Just remember it is text based.
