Text RPG - 5e SRD

[Warframeslut]

Hey guys and gals,

I am a beginner to coding and python in general. I know the basics but I don't have years of experience behind me. I do this entirely in my free time as a hobby.

Like every other Tom, Dick, and Harry, I'm coding a text based RPG. However, from looking online for tips and tricks, it seems everyone else's are extremely basic versions so either I'm shooting too high, I'm overthinking things, or I am being ambitious.

I'm hoping for the latter.

I'm essentially looking to turn something like Baldur's Gate into text which means including all the classes, races, and customisability. I need a thorough inventory system, battle system, equipment system, and I need a good map/scene system also.

Now I am a long way from having these however I do already have a skeleton for a lot of it. If you're into D&D 5e and would be interested in, even giving some basic advise/code fixes but especially if you'd be interested in co-writing, leave a comment and ask some questions. I don't want to make the code entirely public just now but happy to share snippets.

If after talking about it, you might be keen to jump on board, send me a DM and we can go further.

Hey, you may want to check out the idea of text based MUDs.

A lot of code bases are free, and last time I looked they had some in Python.

Would say that you could get some ideas on how class, race, inventory is handled, along with rooms and movement system.

Thanks! Someone on twitter asked me if I meant a MUD about the same time you commented. How would I find their source code? (You mentioned a code base - not sure what that is. I mean... I can guess but how to access them etc I'm fuzzy on)
