How do you use text adventure?

Awesomeman1004
I've always wondered how text adventure works or how you do it.
I know it involves coding but can anyone help me. One thing I'm a pro at gamebook though.
So can anyone teach me?
comment! please! :D

I certainly am not one with all the answers, but they have a wonderful tutorial that would be the most prudent place to look first, unless you had a specific question regarding a certain command or problem or idea of what a Text Adventure actually is. I find I get stuck at certain points with in the tutorial, but learn more through doing and messing around with the system itself on my own, then strictly adhering to it. But if I ever have an actual problem or question I know I can come here and get help.

Also you should play a couple of games if your question was what a Text Adventure actually is. Perhaps one from the Editor's Picks or even some of the top rated ones...

Of course there are other Text Adventure games out there other than on the Quest engine itself, that are tried and true which are really great also. But the systems they were designed on is a mess of coding in my opinion. In other words, I am saying use Quest full heartedly to design your game, but do not limit yourself to Quest only games when it comes to playing them. Just have a look around.
