Possible to let user enter data

Hello,

I am completely new to IF and text adventures, but I totally love it.

I am trying to figure out Quest now. I was wondering is it possible in either Text Adventure or Gamebooks to end the game by letting the user enter data by typing.
Example: along your quest you get parts of a code, which combined form the final code you have to enter to finish the game.

I have an idea in my mind, but don't know if I have to create a text adventure or gamebook for it

Thank you!


Not sure about game books, but you can in text adventures.

There is a guide here:

Thank you


if you know how to do coding/scripting, here's the quest doc:

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/

there's only two ways to get typed-in input:

  1. the 'get input' Script/Function: http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/scripts/get_input.html
  2. the 'Command' Element: http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/elements/command.html
