TAWS2 is, as you may have guessed, the 2nd game in a series of “Text Adventures Without Swords”. TAWS2 establishes that aside from the name you can expect very little similarities between the games in the TAWS series. Like TAWS1, everything you need to play the game exists within the game due to a help menu that is easy to find.

In TAWS2 you are attempting to navigate a grid “roguelike” style using the number pad for direction pre-programming your path before pressing enter. In that way this could be called a roguelike practice program. The way it is written, you gain more points for shorter paths. As a challenge to the reader, change it so that you have to take the longest path you can to the exit to net more points, receiving 0 points for a 9999 path.
