Create a game in the command prompt (cmd) Solved

Question

Hello,
I am very interested in computer science, especially the command prompt!
I have managed to create fake viruses, command prompt chats (nothing too impressive), but how do you create a game from the command prompt? I tested it, and someone made Tetris in a .bat game.
Do you have a tutorial for that?
Thank you!

Hi everyone !!

Well, I'm digging up the subject a bit but it might help someone else looking for a command line game, here’s the code for one of mine!

It’s the more or less game with the 2 player option; there are some errors in it, but the program works, it's up to you to spot them and improve it! I have another one that’s more polished, with both 2 player mode + customizable level mode + and other presentation and practical details, but I'll keep that one; it’s just to give you some ideas to tweak it to your liking!

Ciao everyone

Hello,
You confuse cmd with a file or an application.
Cmd only opens a file or modifies/adds certain configurations.
You need to create (like your friend) a bat file (for example) or use another programming language, and then you can open that with cmd, but it's still easier to open it with a shortcut.

Here, this is what he did: https://ss64.org/viewtopic.php?id=1068 Thank you for your reply, but how can I do that? Others have made games using just Notepad... : https://batch.xoo.it/t732-Devines.htm

shikamarujladore · Answer

I know, but I would like to learn how to make one like this, for example, or Tetris (but less complicated) :)

lermite222 · Answer

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying in my first post, whether it's with Notepad or anything else, you need to know what to put in it, in other words, you have to know a language.
Without that, it's impossible; a computer is as dumb as a rock; if you don't tell it what to do, well... it does nothing.
Learn a language.
See you later
