Title: I haven't seen a game like this, but I want to make one!
Post by: jackofalltrades on October 22, 2007, 01:54:44 am: The game I want to make is simple, I think. Here's the concept:

It's a sports game, but very simple. Basically, you pick a team and throghout the game, you pick the plays to run, and the game generates what happens. For instance, let's go with American Football:

New York vs. Boston:

You are New York.

You win the coin toss. Recieve or Kick?

Recieve.

B. Miller runs back the kickoff 25 yards to the 30 yard line.

N. Johnson makes tackle.

Select Offensive Play Set:

Run(middle), Run(Left), Run(right),
Pass(deep)

You get the idea. Where would I find a game like this, and/or a tutorial on hwo to make one?

Thanks,
joat

If it is for C++, do you mean just text like the old football games on like a Pentium1 50mhz back in the day?(I used to have one with text based gameplay like a text adventure)

Hmm, dunno what to tell you. But I recommend you checking Tecmo Soccer, or something like that for NES, it's a bit like that...

Made it up. Thinking on the go, you see.

And, thanks Ricky. I'll look into that.
