Introduction: Simple Batch Game
This game is not my idea, but is a continuation of another instructable made by Tetheu98 and Prof. Pickle.
Here is the code, their are a few notes within the code, but if you have anymore questions just comment. I coded this in Notepad ++ to save time, but MicrosftVS or Codeblocks will also work, below are links to all three websites to download.

Here is Batch lang. Reference as well, if you wish to expand on the game (Its not really a game, more a file you can interact with.).
(Bold and Italicized words are not in the code.)

Keep in mind this is a very, and I need to stress VERY simple Batch file/game. You can easily expand upon or remake this "game" to be very intricate and advanced.
The game is attached below.
