Well,
I guess I should release this now. For a while, I've been working on a
text RPG(i've submitted the engine at the CLC). It's called Darkness
Falls. I'm still working on the story, but I can give you guys a demo
of the engine.

CODE

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
#include <fstream>

void DrawColorString(string szText, int X, int Y, WORD color)
{
HANDLE OutputH; // This will be used for our handle to the output (basically, holds permission to change the output settings)
COORD position = {X, Y}; // Create a COORD and set it's x and y to the X and Y passed in.

OutputH = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); // Get a OUTPUT handle to our screen.

SetConsoleTextAttribute(OutputH, color); // Set the text attribute to what ever color that was passed in.
// The function SetConsoleTextAttribute takes (the handle to the output, and the color);
SetConsoleCursorPosition(OutputH, position); // Set the cursor position to the desire position passed in.

cout << szText; // Now print out what we wanted to at the position that was passed in.

}

int main()
{
string answer="", name="", cont="";
int line=0;
DrawColorString("Darkness Falls", 15, 0, BACKGROUND_RED);
line = line + 1;
DrawColorString("Type start to began.\n", 0, 1, FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_BLUE);
cin >> answer;
line = line + 1;
while (answer != "start" && answer != "Start")
{
cout << "You did not type in a valid command, please do so if you wish to play." << endl;
line = line + 1;
cin >> answer;
line = line + 1;
}
cout << "In a land of old, years ago, the people were in peace with nature. Then, one daythe evil Wizard Bardoon, set a curse about the world. Eternal Darkness. The \npeople were filled with fear.\nBut, through the Darkness, a warrior of light came to them, and said of a young child who will end the darkness, and bring the fall of Bardoon.\n\nWhat is your name?" << endl;
line = line + 4;
cin >> name;
line = line + 1;
cout << "'Wake up " << name << "!' said a voice, 'Wake up!'\n'Huh? oh, it's just you Nanai.' said " << name << "\n'" << name << ", we need you to start your training!' said Nanai.\n" << endl;
system("pause");
cout << " Training Field" << endl;
cout << "'Alright, you may not remember the basics, so I'll teach 'em to ya.' said Nanai." << endl;
system("pause");
cout << "'Okay, first, to attack, you type in attack. Then it will ask you which enemy to attack. You type in the enemy's number, then you attacks. Why don't you try it out on that fighting dummy.' said Nanai." << endl;
system("pause");
cout << " FIGHT!" << endl;
int dummyhp=10;
string command="", slot="";
cout << " Dummy[1] - " << dummyhp << endl;
cout << "Command: ";
cin >> command;
while (command != "attack")
{
cout << "\nUnknown Command, enter new: ";
cin >> command;
}
cout << "Which enemy: ";
cin >> slot;
while (slot != "1")
{
cout << "No enemy there, type another: ";
cin >> slot;
}
cout << "\nAttacking!" << endl;
dummyhp = dummyhp -= 2;
while (!dummyhp <= 0)
{
cout << " Dummy[1] - " << dummyhp << endl;
cout << "Command: ";
cin >> command;
while (command != "attack")
{
cout << "\nUnknown Command, enter new: ";
cin >> command;
}
cout << "Which enemy: ";
cin >> slot;
while (slot != "1")
{
cout << "No enemy there, type another: ";
cin >> slot;
}
cout << "\nAttacking!" << endl;
dummyhp = dummyhp -= 2;
}
cout << "Enemy's Defeated!" << endl;
cout << "Fight Over!" << endl;
cout << "'Well good job, " << name << ". You did good, for your first try. But, let me teach you some other commands.' said Nanai." << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Just copy and paste. I made it in Dev-C++ so it should run smooth.
