From Create Your Own Story
CYOA
Let's try something fun.
We can make a Choose Your Own Story in a batch script:
- Hopefully you're able to make a batch file by now.
- Add the following lines to the file:
@echo off echo Today you are going on an adventure. :BEGIN echo 1.) Go outside. echo 2.) Stay inside. set/p input=What do you do^? if %input%==1 goto OUTSIDE echo But you need adventure. Maybe you should consider again. goto BEGIN :OUTSIDE echo You're outside now. What will you do^? :OPTIONS echo 1.) Climb a tree. echo 2.) Go back inside. echo 3.) Ride your bike. set/p input=Pick an option^? if %input%==1 goto TREE if %input%==2 goto INSIDE goto BIKE :TREE echo You're up a tree. Now what^? echo 1.) Stay in the tree. echo 2.) Climb back down. echo 3.) Ride your bike. set/p input=Pick an option^? if %input%==1 goto TREE if %input%==3 goto DEATH echo You decide to climb down. goto OPTIONS :INSIDE echo But what about your adventure^? Maybe you should consider going back out. goto BEGIN :BIKE set/p color=What kind of bike do you have^? echo You ride your %color% bike for a while. echo Now what^? goto OPTIONS :DEATH echo You try to ride your %color% bike in a tree. That was not a good idea. echo. You've died. echo. pause exit
- Save your file without any formatting (Plain text).
- Double click your .bat file to execute the commands.
Remember: Don't edit the batch file while it's running. You can get unexpected errors that way. Be careful with complicated scripts.
