The first project of the Low-Level Programming module during my second year involved the recreation of the classic 'Haunted House' text adventure.

​

Firstly, we were tasked with the implementation of the game in BASIC. Although this was a difficult task having never used BASIC before - I managed to get a complete and working version of the game up and running.

​

After the BASIC version, we had to create it again in C++ using the ASGE framework. This framework is custom-made by one of my tutors James Huxtable. 

​

Using a variety of techniques, which were most all new to me, I was able to create 64 rooms, each of which populated with their own behaviour and items to interact with and explore. 

​

I personally think this project posed a unique challenge as I had never created a text adventure game before. It taught me a lot about how positive and strong game design can be displayed even without visuals to assist.
