Notepad quiz game

Introduction

Did you know that a simple notepad program on your computer is actually a very powerful programming tool? That's right, and it's also easy to learn. In this article I am going to show you how to make a simple game using only the notepad program and the programming language called "batch".

Batch is the main running language from your Windows command prompt. Now, it's not even close to being the most powerful programming language out there, but you do enough to make it more useful (at least for anyone in the computer field).

Not only is it useful, but it can also be used to create amazing text-based games! What is a text-based game you ask? It is a game where the user interacts through text and choice-making (very simple). You will learn how to set up the circumstances in which the characters have to make choices about how you want to approach the problem.

Copy the below code in notepad add save in format "filename.vbs"
