Thanks!

Some years ago, I found a tutorial by Gordon Dodrill. In 12 chapters he explains almost everything, one has got to know about C++. This includes source codes, samples, little tasks to accomplish before moving to the next chapter and so on.

And the clue is: Everything directly points to the last chapter in which all new knowledge is used to create an object oriented c++ written text adventure game called "Fly Away" in which you start in your bedroom and have to get to the airport and check in to .. well .. actually fly away ;-)

Dodrill published a restructured version of his tutorial in 2001. THis is only available as a trial version, so here''s a link to the 1997 one:

Hope it helps.
In case one is interested in a german translation of this tutorial,visit this page of Heins Tschabitscher (he also made a PDF version available for download)

Have fun!

Cool! That tutorial sounds Really helpful. Thanks a whole lot! this is very much appreciated.

When I go to download the source code, it gives me the "Page cannot be displayed", so it must be gone. Is there an alternative link?

Nevermind, I found one at http://www.swcp.com/~dodrill/controlled/cppdoc/cpptutor.html.

Could someone please point me to a good tutorial on righting a text adventure-type game? Or maybe a tutorial on creating a text adventure engine?
