Game Development

This section really shows the innovation and how much possibilities and opportunities batch files can offer. One of the best things you can do with Batch is script games. I don't mean games that are 3d with graphics and multiplayer features. I mean games made in batch. Now, since batch has no real graphics, you would think there is very little you can make. This is true but the games made in batch can surprise you. Here are some of the best games made in batch.

Hangman

This game is amazing! It uses a .txt file that you downloaded/made and makes a awesome Hangman game. So how do you play? Well first you make a batch file with the first source code link provided below. Then you make a text file with the second source code I have provided. Then you run the batch file, and you drag the text file you just made into the batch file. Then you start the game!

Splat-the-Rat (Whack-a-Mole)

 

This is the most advanced game ever made in batch. It uses 2 batch windows to play. One window is for the hammer and your reaction time. The second one is for the actual rat sticking its head out of the ground at random points in time. Even though there are 2 windows, there is only one batch file involved. I suggest you play this game, it really is impressive. This game also allows you to enter your initials so you can save your score.
