A text-based adventure: Finding Earl

'Finding Earl' is a text-based adventure game created by CribberSix.

The idea for the text-based approach originated from the TV-series 'Chuck' where the 1980 text-based video game 'Zork' was mentioned.

Parser

The algorithm tries to match the input's first word - needs to be a verb - to a game functionality. Some verbs work as a standalone. Other verbs require further input, for example what the object of the verb is. If there are more than one of the desired objects around, you will need to specify which one you mean with a descriptive adjective, for instance purple book .

The parser will tell you if he does not know a verb or if he needs further information, so the best thing to do is to try it out!
