My First Text-Based C++ Game!
My first C++ code! And guess what? I bet you can’t guess this! I didn’t get to finish it! Hahaha.
I do like it though. It’s about a giraffe named Geoffrey and how he’s the meanest, fiercest giraffe that ever lived.
Since I still have a lot to learn about execution in C++ and having spent more time than I should have (as usual) on Scratch, I just have a simple text-based RPG-type game. It has a very narrow story though because the constraints. I also was a little distraught at the fact that I was putting everything inside of Switch statements, so the whole thing became very cluttered very fast, and I resorted (since it still worked) to ask for help with it the next day.
I do like it though! PLAY IT >:O
