Hey All,

I have been working on a Text Adventure lately. Everything is working so far, the coodinate system, item locations, etc. However, the parser needs some help.

Here's the code I used to test this.

+ Code Snippet


DIM Object$(2)
DIM Object$(1)="BEAST"
DIM Object$(2)="TORCH"

DIM Verb$(2)
DIM Verb$(1)="FIGHT"
DIM Verb$(2)="LIGHT"

Do

Input C$

PsVerb$=Left$(C$,5)
PsObject$=Right$(C$,5)

For V = 1 To 2
If PsVerb$=Verb$(V)
VerbFound=1
V$=Verb$(V)
Endif
Next V

For O = 1 to 2
If PsObject$=Object$(O)
ObjectFound=1
O$=Object$(O)
Endif
Next O


IF VerbFound=1 and ObjectFound=1
Print "Command Matched"
Print V$ : Print O$
Else
Print "Command Failed"
Print PsVerb$ : Print PsObject$
Endif

Loop

Wait Key
End

It divides the words into the verb and object just fine, since it prints those on the bottom. The only problem might be that it cannot match them with the words in the array.

Thanks in advance,

Man, I need to brush up on arrays.
Sorry for the bad mistake, I do not know why I did not catch that before.
