The Legend Of Zelda
The Ruins Of Time

=====================
Story:

Hyrule, a paradise of deserts, forests, wonderful cities and amazing people. A place of ultimate peace and rest, away from the violence and evils of the rest of the world. That was what Hyrule was like, before he came.

Long ago a great evil was sealed away in the Temple Of Light, a sacred realm in the Temple Of Time. This great evil was Gandon, the Devil Of The Void. He once ruled the world with unquestionned power, back when the world was new. He grew so powerful he became a god, and he bound the Sacred Triforce into his sword.

For centuries he ruled, until a hero rose up to challenge him. Using Gandon's own sword, he sealed Gandon in the Temple Of Light, and the Sages Of The Past built a great temple around the gateway to the realm, teh Temple Of Time, and sealed Gandon inside.

There Gandon remained, until he escaped. A evil man, Gannondorf, Opened the Door Of Time that sealed the Temple Of Light away, and Gandon escaped, killing Gannondorf as he did so. With all his anger and might, Gandon destroyed the Temple Of Time And The Door of Time, before fleeing off to conquer the land.

With out time as a barrier, the monsters of the past began to return to Hyrule, and, under Gandon's command, they began to slay and lay waste to the once beutiful land of Hyrule. People now are either slaves or hidding away from the creatures, either way they are doomed.

---------

One day a young Slave boy escaped from his emprisonment in a black citadel, a castle built and ruled by monsters, and began to wage a war against the creatures domminating the land. His name, Link. Little does Link know it but one day he will fight Gandon and the fate of Hyrule, nay, the World, will rest on his shoulders.

After all the help i needed getting the map loader working, I've got this to work (roughly). It's pretty simplistic ATM. No battles...yet...

Yah very simple :)
Someone posted a finished Zelda game some time ago (aab?)

Yes it was aab. Nice game Jay. You're new to C++ yet you're making outstanding games. Well done.

I'm new to C++ but not graphical programming, i was a basic programmer before C++

Thanks :P

I'm still active on ofQbasicNews Forums. BASIC programmers seem to focus more on Graphical games than the windows programs and console games C++ programmers obsess over. They really do some interesting stuff, like a ASCII RPG Maker. That is the kind of stuff most C++ programmers don't even think of.

Because we usually don't make tools to make programs since we prefer the power of using C++ for it ;)

um, the gal who originally made the ASCII RPG MAKER made it to use for her ASCII Rpg, she just released it (good thing too, she never finished the game)

Anyway: Progress report - Very Little. Getting NPCs to appear and talk. Then will start work on Prison Link starts in.

*Updated ScreenShots*

*BUMP*

NPC's can now TALK!
