Game: Hunt the Wumpus

[eturnerx]

This week I recreate an old text game that I remember as a kid in the '80s: Hunt the Wumpus. It apparently started in 1971. Basically you wander around a map trying not to fall into a pit trap or get eaten by the wumpus. You win by shooting the wumpus - but don't shoot yourself!

I use a "struct" to create a datatype for each of the rooms in the map. Also; a giant switch...case block controls the whole thing. The video is a much shorter 3 and a half minutes.

Once again - Well done! And thank you for sharing that with us.

Do you have a blog or somewhere more permanent than PasteBin where you could write this up? I'd like to add a link to it from the Hunt the Wumpus article on Wikipedia.

Okay, I'll move it to my own site. I used Pastebin for the syntax highlighting and ability to dl in raw txt etc.

I've moved code for the 3 arduino + freetronics 16x2 LCD shield videos onto my own domain. The Wumpus code is available as a link from:

I'd probably not share a direct link to the actual code since it kinda needs the blog post / video to contextualise it. Maybe I should write better comments

Thanks for considering this for Wikipedia.
