I need some help with my C# text adventure game.
anyway, I've been making a old school text adventure using a bunch of IF statements. Anyway, I'm not sure how to get it to stop breaking lines in the middle of words.
you see, if the stuff to be printed looks like this:
Console.WriteLine("You are now playing as Urist McMagus, dwarven wizard of the 8th arcane circle. Ahead of him, there is an obsidian tower, raised from the ground by the evil power of Maliboros, the last Dark Lord! What will Urist do? Go away Or head onward:");
it prints like this
You are now playing as Urist McMagus, dwarven wizard of the 8th arcane circle. A
head of him there is an obsidian tower, raised from the ground by the evil power o
f Maliboros blah blah blah.
Please help.
Oh, and in case you were wondering my code looks like this:
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)

while (number < 100)
{
input = Console.ReadLine();
input = input.ToLower();
{

{
Console.WriteLine("Fine then. The world is taken over and undergoes a thousand years of darkness! And it’s all your fault. GAME OVER!");

Re: I need some help with my C# text adventure game.
Create a Subroutine() that formats lines.
Pass the string to it.
Parse the lines using Left$,Right$,Mid$ functions
Produce a string (with VbCrLF) in the right place(s)
Return result, and print it!

Re: I need some help with my C# text adventure game.
Well in windows the default console is 80 characters wide. You could either take the time and initiative to insert a '/n' no less than every 80 characters, where appropriate, in all your string literals.
You could also write a routine to take a string and add newlines to it where appropriate.
You should probably consider refactoring your program to make it more manageable. I assume you're still leaning so its ok, but you don't normally write a game as 100+ if else statements and a bunch of WriteLine("string literal here")'s.
Consider creating a List<string> to hold all your strings, and maybe load the strings from an XML file or something, that way you don't have a bunch of random strings floating around your program code. In other words, separate your data from your code.

Re: I need some help with my C# text adventure game.
You should have your own OutputText / InputText methods anyway, which uses Console. The output method could do all the formatting.
An added bonus would be: You could very easily change from using the console to using a Form, for example, without having to change lots of code all over the place.
