Snakes and Ladders: A Texted Based Adventure Game by argowen

So its a mash up of a classic board game and a text adventure game; whats more fun that actually rolling a dice and physically moving pieces on a board, I’ll tell you: typing “roll dice” and having no visible board or pieces but a short description telling what square you are on. And for hilarity I added the ability to fake a dice roll but be warned if you try and fake too many rolls your opponent will force you to roll a dice like a normal person.
After a long time trying to come up with an idea that would be doable in the time I had along with combating my own procrastination; I eventually restarted and came up with the above idea. For my own fun I decided I would steer clear of loads of the other programming languages that I know and just throw something together in vb.net without really planning it. In fairness I got sick of this project & theme like I did the last one I submitted (I think that was around 35, "That Blue Square"). Anyway with all that said and done I've uploaded the source in zip format to my gdrive link below. the exe has been compiled and is available within the bin dir.

Plus major props for a well implemented theme - text adventure + boardgame is a pretty incompatible mix!
Keep working on games to make even better ;)
