Quest
-
Version
4.0
Quest lets you create sophisticated text-based games,
without having to program. You can make text
adventures, role-playing games, training materials,
simulations, interactive fiction, online multiplayer
environments and more.
With its easy-to-use visual editor, absolutely no
programming is required - everything about your game
is displayed in plain English. A full tutorial is
included so you can get started quickly.
You're not just limited to text - your games can come
alive with pictures, sound effects and music. Plus,
with QuestNet Server, you can create and host online
multi-player games.
Quest has powerful features for keeping track of what
happens during the game, so you can create the exact
behaviour you need. A reference guide is included for
Quest's more advanced functions.
In your Quest games, you can create rooms, objects,
characters, containers, and surfaces. Pick up and drop
objects, use objects on other objects, and give
objects to characters. Easily add commands, so players
can do what you want them to do. Use scripts to make
absolutely anything happen in your game. Move the
player, move and hide objects. Display menus, use
subroutines, functions, loops, conditional statements
and more. Change object properties during the game,
create and clone objects, use variables, flags, timers
and external libraries. Quest supports random number
generation, string handling functions, arrays and
inheritance of object properties - and all of these
advanced functions are available from a plain-English
interface. So you can create sophisticated
environments easily, and you won't come across any
limitations.
You have full control over text formatting, fonts and
colours, and you can display pictures in BMP, GIF or
JPEG formats. You can play music and sounds - MP3,
WAV, MIDI and MOD. The Quest Compiler encrypts your
game so others can't edit it or cheat, and all
included graphics and sounds can be put into one file.
Quest - let your imagination fly.
