How to code in batch: Part one
These are the basic commands for a batch file:

@ECHO
OFF: I don't really know what exactly it is for, but if you don't put
it, then your game looks really messed up. This is placed at the top of
the document(I'll talk about that later)
ECHO: Shows something on the screen (Context: ECHO Hi! How are you doing?)
PAUSE: Pauses the script until the user presses a key (Shows up on screen as: Press any key to continue...)
SET: Sets a value (Context: SET NAME=%NAME%)
SET
/P: Prompts a user to enter something. (Context: SET /P NAME: [you can
also put something after that command to show while the user inputs
their information, like this: SET /P NAME=NAME:])
Learn those basic
commands, and you should be able to make a basic batch game! Enter these
commands into notepad, and then set the file name as _____.bat. Hope
this helped!

This is a really neat idea! Would you be willing to share examples of base scripts you've made, so we can see these in action?

I'm really fascinated by code, it'll more than likely be my career, so I'm quite interested to see some examples. I haven't delved into this aspect before.

mrfe : Yeah, I will post some scripts sometime. I will probably post links to some of my games sometime. I am currently working on a game right now. It's called ZA2: Build the Town!

This is one of my scripts. It uses all of the basic commands except one I forgot to mention in the first post, which is cls. Cls is a command used when you want to clear the screen, and is mostly used after the pause commands. Try it out on your computer!

Lesson Two: Other commands useful for making a game (BONUS: Challenge at end)                                                                                                         ping localhost -n _ >nul: This command makes the script pause for _ seconds. You enter the number of seconds you want it to wait in the blank space, baby. Haha, right? Right?                                                                                                                                                                                            goto: this is when you want to skip to another section in the script. (context: goto sthing)
  labels: these are what you goto. You use them like this:   :sthing                                                                                                                                           if %_% = _ goto _ : A lot of blanks in this one. This is for menus. For example;                                                                                                             1. Chainsaw                    
  2. Knife
  3. Bagel
set /p input: Selection:
if %input% = 1 goto buychainsaw
if %input% = 2 goto buyknife
if %input% = 3 goto buybagel

That's how you use that command!
If you want, you can use words in place of the numbers (Though I encountered bugs with that method)
Well, that's it for this lesson. Except for............... THE CHALLENGE!!!





Make a game using all of these commands. Can you do it?

Is anyone interested in this anymore? If not, I'll ask the mods to take it down. Did anyone succeed at the challenge?
