Hi there.
I am a dungeon master, currently in charge of a roleplaying game of Star wars.
Since the characters usually access lots of computers, i had the idea of writing an interactive terminal interface for the the players to use.
Basically i'd like to write a few screens that should look like a command prompt.
The players can enter commands, like "hack this file" or "display this image", etc.
I would provide the list of commands and "files" in the "game" itself.
Is Quest the right software for this?
I need something simple and fast where i can input a couple files or information in the "terminal interface" for the players to discover.
I have a few questions:
- Can i disable commands? (like "moving" to other rooms: i suppose i would only have one "room")
- Can i change text fonts?(i'd like some star wars aurabesh) or background color (i'd need black blackground)
- Can i display images or sounds, or special events? (I'd like some things like hacking to potentially sound a loud alarm, a screen-wide red band that blocks the players out of the system)
- Some things will require real life rolls before i display a result. For example, if players try to enter a command like "hack firewall", can i then have an IF structure where the players will input their real-life dice rolls results, and display different information based on that IF?
Thanks everyone
