Hey everybody,
Once again, I find myself humbled and confused. You see, I have a text adventure engine (although at this point its just a map traversal... doesn't end yet :P) and I'm having a few issues with the commands. I can move around the map just fine and I can pick up items inserted into the map as well as look at my inventory. There are a few problems I'm having.
My drop (name) function isn't working. This command should drop (name) from the function.
My look (name) function is also giving me issues. When its just look, it prints out the description of the room.
First, I'll give you a walkthrough of my map file formatting...
0 (room number) Halsell 228 (room name)
You are standing in a room full of computers and comfy chairs with a giant air conditioning unit hanging from the ceiling. While the surroundings are serine enough, you can't help feeling a certain amount of dread. This isn't just a fear that the air conditioning unit is going to fall either. Something in you tells you that this room is regularly used for strange rituals involving torture. You can only wonder what happens here and why there isn't blood all over the place. Your uneasyness makes you want to leave quickly. (description)
1 (number of exits)
east 1 (direction and number of room linked to)
Items are much like the rooms.
0 (item number) Paper (name)
There is something about the piece of paper that tells you to keep it because it will be very important to you in a few moments. It may even keep you from dying... (description)
3 (location/room number)
So here's the actual code that I have.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <strings.h>

}Any and all help would be appreciated, as would any tips on cleaning up the code just a bit... It feels almost as if strcasecmp stops working halfway through my coding...
