About The Project

This project is a basic text-based adventure game. The idea of the game was inspired by Colossal Cave Adventure.

• The player will go through an adventurous quest in search of 4 keys (key to wind, fire, earth, water). In order to find these keys, the player has to visit different places and collect different items.
• A simple natural language parser (NLP) has been implemented using Prolog to allow the player to utilize a simple subset of English.
• The player can use the map at the top to help him understand and visualize the game
