How to Make a Video Game With Cmd

Here is a free, easy, no-download way
to make a video game. You will learn a
little bit about batch programming in
the process. You'll need to supply your
own story to go with this game.
Steps
Anything in apostrophes can
be changed, it won't affect
the game - don't accidentally
type it in to the actual code.
Open Notepad or any other
coding programs-Geany,
Notepad++, etcetera. Save the
file as ‘My Game’.bat
Start the Code. Start by
typing:
@echo off
title ‘My Game’
color 0A
if "%1" neq "" ( goto %1)
pause
Add Colours. Now save it and
run, it will come up with an
error and all the different colour
combinations. Find the one you
like and type it in after “color”,
instead of “zz”. A good
combination is color 0A, it makes
the text green and the
background black.
Create the Menu. To create
the menu get rid of pause
and type in:
:Menu
cls
echo ‘1. Start’
echo ‘2. Instructions’
echo ‘3. Exit’
set /p answer=‘Type the
number of your option and
press enter.’
if %answer%==1 goto
‘Start_1’
if %answer%==2 goto
‘Instructions’
if %answer%==3 goto ‘Exit’
Creating ‘Exit’ and
‘Instructions’. To create the
exit screen type in this:
:‘Exit’
echo Thanks for playing !
exit /b
Now for the instructions
type in:
:‘Instructions’
cls
echo ‘Instructions’
echo.
Then write:
echo ‘Your instructions
here’
As many times as you like
then type:
pause
goto Menu
Begin the game. Type in a
scenario:
:Start_1
cls
echo ‘You have run into bad
guys. Their forces are:’
echo ‘3 farmers’
echo ‘You have a high
chance of winning.’
set /p answer=‘Would you
like to fight or run?’
if %answer%==‘Fight’ goto
‘Fight_1’
if %answer%==‘Run’ goto
‘Run_1’
Fighting and Running. Now
to make fighting and
running:
:Run_1
cls
echo You ran away safely !
pause
goto ‘Start_1’
:Fight_1
echo You have chosen to
fight.
echo The battle is waging.
set /p answer= Type
number 1 and press enter
to continue:
if %answer%==1 goto
Fight_1_Loop
:‘Fight_1_Loop’
set /a num=%random%
if %num% gtr 4 goto
‘Fight_1_Loop’
if %num% lss 1 goto
‘Fight_1_Loop’
if %num%==1 goto
‘Lose_Fight_1’
if %num%==2 goto
‘Win_Fight_1’
if %num%==3 goto
‘Win_Fight_1’
if %num%==4 goto
‘Win_Fight_1’
:‘Lose_Fight_1’
cls
echo Sorry, you lost the
battle :(
pause
goto Menu
:‘Win_Fight_1’
cls
echo Congrats, you won the
fight!
set /p answer=‘Would you
like to save?’
if %answer%==‘Yes’ goto
‘Save’
if %answer%==‘No’ goto
‘Start_2’
:‘Save’
goto ‘Start_2’
Now you can repeat the
code used in ‘Start_1’ to
create a second fight and
a third and fourth and so
on.
Also when you type
e.g. :Fight_1 you also have
to make sure that parts
that say goto Fight_1 stay
the same as each other so
if you change one you have
to change both.
Just close the notepad, then
click yes, save the file,
change the format to all file,add
.bat after you type the name.
