I'm trying to use MATLAB to create a stand-alone application for an interactive fiction game (where the player is presented with a text prompt and responds by entering text, e.g. "You are being choked by a creepy squid. >> " "Stab squid" "The squid dies, leaving behind an inky pile of gold. >>" etc.).
When I compile the game and install it, everything works smoothly, but there's nowhere for the game's prompts to appear, and nowhere for the user to type in responses.
Who has a good solution for this? Do I use a GUI with text boxes, or is there a way just to have a text scroll with user inputs like this? The latter would be preferable.
Thanks!
