This is a small adventure game I started working on.

I am writing it in C# and I'm using the SDL.NET Game library.

Accomplished:

• Scrolling message buffer at bottom of screen
• XML Text Reader and  Writer for Character Save File
• Ability to read Character's saved inventory into his backpack
• Added get/set properties to the backpack
  
• Changed inventory system to take objects for inventory and store them in a HashTable
• Ability to find and pick-up secial objects using a "paralell map" of special objects that overlays the world map
  
• KBD and Mouse Handler
• Bounds Checking
• Used an array of objects to store map items.  Each object represents a space on the map and holds information on that particular space, i.e. background tile, special objects, etc.  So I just need to interrogate the object to get information about each space the Character steps on and make decisions from there ...
  

To Do:

•  When Item is found on screen and picked up, delete it from screen and map
•  Make a bigger screen / scroll / scrollbar
•  Make/Generate a default Save File
•  Find a way to redraw 1 tile and not the whole screen (go to SDL website/forums for help) every time the Character moves
•  Scrolling Message Buffer, use icons, 1 click equals shift buffer ... may need to create the buffer also. 
•  Put all messages into the buffer and then display the buffer.
•  The event handler has all of the vh.Display stuff in it... put the message queue there ...
