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.
