Like I had said once before, read Na_th_an's tutorial in QBE. Those will help a lot. And yeah, like axipher said, each room needs a well written description. But you can often make duplicates in places like a forest.

Another thing to think about is are you going to allow 4 or 8 compass directions? Also, now that you have the first room (note that that is a script, not an actual description), can you think past that? I wouldn't suggest having things such as "You feel in your pocket for your glasses, but you squint and notice them laying on the ground." This shouldn't be part of the description. Rather, you could have certain states, such as "blind", "stunned", "sleepy", etc. Here is a way I would make each room be displayed:

IX XXE XOXXXT
***
You are BLIND!
There is a pair of glasses at your feet

- put on glasses

You can see!
IN THE FOREST
You stand in the middle of a forest, with a path slightly east. The sun is barely able to penetrate through the think foliage. The trees tower above you in a striking manner, thier trunks too big for two men to wrap thier arms around it.

Perhaps a tad bit elaborate, but still. Notice how there was no description when you were blind, as well as the name of the room was missing a lot of letters. I don't know, just throwing ideas.[/code]
