Near the shore – to do dreams and programming

Mysterious story. Text quest. You find yourself at the shore. This is island. From one side - it is ocean. Blue sea. And, from other side – it is forest. And, you are walking the sand beach. Read text. And do actions. There are not a lot of them. With every game scene, you need to do something. And, reading the text, you learning the story. Sometimes, you can go in a different way. But, story is linear.

You find out yourself at the shore. Sand. Yellow sandy beach. Sandy line, it is going far in a distance, along the island. And ocean. Blue light blue sea. Blue sky. Bright sunny weather. Deeper to the island – it is forest. And, you are with wide sandy line.

Text story, as old games. Where you need to read text and write commands with actions. There are not a lot of actions here. And story is not very long. Some places, you can turn to the different directions. And, anyway, story is linear. Everything will be going to a key point.

Little of actions. A direction of move. And some actions. North, south, west, east, speak, take, use, list. Mainly, commands with directions. And little of items.

Decoration is so blue. And so sunny. You are at the island, and going along sand. Sea – big sea from one side. And blue sky. In a bright sunny day. True huge ocean. And sand. And, you walk with it. Mysterious story.

I dream, for a long time, to make some text quests. With a simple form. To have some background. And text. And simple commands. And, it can to be most different stories. I like to have a dreams and to write. Of course, I watched, also, how it is to play very first Zork. But, I have here not a Zork, absolutely, of course. Much more simple. Zork - it is, well known, text quest. It is very complicated about realization. And, I have everything simple.

Beach and sand. Yellow sand. You are walking along the sand. Ocean makes a noise nearby. It is so endless and blue. And sky. Cloudless sky. This is a text story. And you write your commands. For example, north. This means go to north. Or south. This means go to south. And it will be written with text. For the south you see a road, for example. This means, by story, you need to go to south. Little game is linear.

Some places, there are two paths. To the different sides. For example. At the north it is forest, and at the south it is water. And you can go with one of the directions. But, with next turn, story will, anyway, go to one single point. A little of variations for the story.   

Game is not long. And, there are some items here, but not a lot. A little of interactions. For example, it is with the description. You see before your eyes a stick. And, you can to write command take stick. And to see what items do you, already, have there is command – list. Sometimes, you need to talk. For example, with the text it is written, before you it is standing magical creature. And you write speak magic creature.

Mainly, you need to make a steps with directions. North, south, west, east. And read text. Sometimes, to do something. Valuable part of the game. You are collecting shells. Read text. And watch, it will be written, that before your eyes it is a shell. Green shell, for example. And write take green shell. It is very valuable thing with this story. You need to collect shells, which are all over the place.

There are moments, which you can to lose. For example, you can be drowning in a swamp. There is one place – where you do not need to go. It will be immediately game over. Dangerous dark place. And there are places, where if you do not have shells, so you never go next. And game will over. Or without some item. Stick, for example. So, there is here such a spiral stick. With patterns. Sometimes, you need to use items. To go right to next scene. Other case, in a next, it will be - game over for you.

It looks all like Norton Commander for Ms Dos. Blue background. At the low part – commands, which you can write. And text. And you write your command. There are scenes, where you need just to read – there is command next, in those scenes. Only one is shown.

I am learning and these things too. So here it is good to write a story. To have a dreams, this means. And do programming. It is interesting things. I dream for a long time to learn these things. You are at the sand. What will you do?
