Re: how to make a mafia text based game on c++ or visual basic 6.0Something like 'collosal caves'?
Guess you could find the source code for some existing examples and try working out how other people have approached it or just plough in and start coding... Probably start with a simplified design using a matrix to represent the rooms in a level and create a parser to accept user commands and some code to describe room contents in english.
I think it'll probably be quite a bit of work to come up with something really enjoyable to play, but good luck. -

It's based on a C++/Javascript-esqe object-oriented language.
