Labyrnth is a game I wrote when I was just starting to learn to program computers. It's the only remaining piece of work I have from that period of my life, so I'm keeping it here for posterity (the reason it survived is that I posted it to some game boards and BBSs which over time have become websites like www.qbasic.com).
I also like to keep it around as a reminder to myself that you don't need to be a great coder to produce something... magical. This code has almost no sub-routines, lots of gotos, and a metric ton of case statements, but it allowed me to bring a vision in my teenage head into reality. Writing clean, well-factored, documented code is important, but writing code that does the job more so.
The original game is comprised of LABYRNTH.BAS and LABLEVEL.DAT, and you need a MS-DOS emulator and QBASIC in order to run it.
C:\LABYRNTH> QBASIC LABYRNTH.BAS
then F5 to run. You must run the game in the directory that contains the .BAS and .DAT file. Read LABYRNTH.TXT for a description of the game and instructions on how to play.
All three of the original files remain exactly as they were when I uploaded the game almost two decades ago, unedited, warts and all.
