Hello everyone,

I`m completely lost on how to make the grid map in my text adventure game. I was hoping for a map/ movement system based off of http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/gb5rrcs-8u_5fxbvwbtf8a/avast-ye-mateys I enjoyed how you have turns to get to point A to B. Super lost on all of these.

As you can see I have a ton of rooms but no idea how to code the map / turn-based movement?

Thank you all!!

Dark Lizerd makes everything with numbers. He made a easter style game that works like minesweep, with numbers.

I think you just store two (or more) sets of numbers. 1,1 is the top left, 12,12 may be the bottom right, if you want. It's a checkerboard pattern.

It's this game!
