Welcome to the Low Hanging Fruit Multi-User Dungeon!
This was once a group project at University. We had the opportunity to present ideas and form assigned groups around the idea, and this one was my idea! I wanted to make a multiplayer text-based adventure game, sometimes known as a MUD or Multi-User Dungeon. We did well academically, made our deadlines, graduated, etc. But I have continued to work on it occasionally, off and on again.
In a basic sense, the players go through the Rooms of this Dungeon where they can interact with other Players and NonPlayerCharacters. They will encounter Monsters who will fight the Players, and the Players can find loot as Takeable Items!

Commands are preceeded by an arrow >. Also note that normally, there is no graphic available, just text that describes the Room that the Player is in.
So the Player is on the left with the cowboy hat. A >SEE command reveals that there is nothing in the room other than themselves, so they will >GO EAST.
In the next room, they find a Shield. They decide that they want to use it, so they will >TAKE Shield and then >EQUIP Shield. That will make them tougher. They see doors to the north and south, so they decide to >GO NORTH.
There they meet a NonPlayerCharacter named Jill. The Player will >SAY "Hi" to Jill. Jill tells him that there are violent goblins nearby, and asks the Player to get rid of them. The Player agrees by >SAY "Yes I will" to Jill, and does >GO SOUTH twice.
In that room, the Player meets a pair of Monsters. They battle it out with the Player using commands like >ATTACK Goblin. The battle ends and the Player emerges hurt, but victorious! The Player finds a nice Longsword on one of the goblins with >SEE "Goblin's corpse", so they >TAKE Longsword from "Goblin's corpse" and then >EQUIP Longsword. The Player sees another door and then does >GO WEST.
In the following room, they see a Chest and inside it is a Healing Potion. They then >TAKE "Healing Potion" from "Chest" and USE Healing Potion to heal their wounds from the earlier fight.
The Player can then navigate back to Jill and receive Experience Points and a Level for completing the quest.
