LuaRPG is a uniquely coded text-based RPG experience. For a few months, I worked on this text-based adventure, and am continuing to update it on occasion.
For those who don't know, Lua is a mathematical programming language, and has a very fast compiler at loading code very quickly compared to most languages. With this raw Lua code, everything is input-based based on submitting text for the computer to process.
This game was re-coded a few times, as I was really thouroughly understanding the language with this project. On top of that, I just kept thinking about different things to add. Horse racing, casinos, dungeon battles, exploration, and shopping. From a coding perspective, I was understanding garbage collection, multithreading, and server-sided capacities with data handling and information collection (based on the information the user provides in the text input.)
As this game has a bit of exploring to do, you can always view the command database with the command “RPG Help,” and you can save your place and data at any time with “RPG Save.” Next time you load the game, simply load your profile and you can continue where you left off!
