VERY good submission! Keep up the good work Shane. This has been a wealth of knowledge for the beginner java game programmer. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
While it was some time ago since you posted this submission(and I actually never managed to play the game) the source code is just impressive. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Shouldn't you give David Brackeen credit for all of the source code you borrowed from him? It's still a good game, but it's always good to give credit where credit is due. http://www.brackeen.com/javagamebook/ (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
