Sierra keyboard interface??

[iangecko]

While the 'point and click' interface is the latest, can anyone tell me if there are any gaming programs that allow they typing of commands like the original Sierra games? I ask this because I had great success with KQ1VGA as a teaching tool and can see the benefits of children improving their spelling while interacting in a game environment.

You can already create parser games with AGS (involves some scripting though).

Alternatively, you may create games with the various versions of AGI Studio which can create games identical to those old Sierra parser games (because AGI Studio is a Suite which can edit/create real AGI games).

Using parsers for ags games isn't very populair. I can only remember two games; Rode Quest and Gladiator Quest.

What about Lion's Den?

Magintz created a Text Parser Template a while back. Not sure how compatable it is with newer versions (it seems to run OK), but it's probably worth a look.

Yes I did make it a while back, and thank you Ashen for bringing it up... :/

I have no internet at home at the moment and have been looking for a project. Now I am more confident with AGS I could update it... or I could go out to the pub tonight and get completly wasted.....

Either sounds good, but if you are truley in need of help I shall attempt. Nice to see I'm mentioned ^_^

Just for you I went and got drunk on monday today however I remade my template to be easier to use and compatible with AGS version 2.7 and above.
