My professor is having us create a text adventure with DBPro. I've programmed in Java so learning DarkBASIC wasn't that hard but im really having trouble implementing some things into my program mainly items and how to change the file that they are read from. My profs requirements are as follows.

1. The information about the initial location of all items (keys, flashlights, sword, etc.) should be stored in a file.
2. The information about the rooms should be stored in a “record”. Thus an “array of records” provides the mechanism to store all the static information about the adventure.
3. There should be a player record which defines the current (and dynamically changing) state of the player, e.g. the player location, the player’s inventory (e.g. if the player has the key, a flashlight, the sword, etc). Clearly, this record needs to be updated on a turn by turn basis.
5. All output from the program should be textual.

This is what I have. Any proofreading or suggestions would really help. He's giving this to us without ever teaching us how to use the program.

Edit: sorry I don't know how to use the snippet button. My file is attached

Hey, welcome . I'm confused on why your trying to read and change objets from files? Also, if you would be a bit more specific on what you need help with I'd gladly help, I've done parts of a text adventure before .

hold on...I just got some advise from my prof...Ill post back if I need help...oh and how do you do the code snippet button?

I'm helping Sirsiddy with a text adventure in the Darkbasic area. The example I posted was made in Pro and edited to work in both Pro and Classic. In the thread I talk about how to do it and posted a working example. I didn't talk about items yet though. All I ask is that you don't just copy my code and claim it's yours to your professor... use it to learn how to do it. Here's the link:

Code snips are like this:
