What technologies to use for Terminal-ish Text based RPG?
<p>I want to create an old school simplistic Text based RPG. No inventory, no fighting, just finding the right way through a dungeon.</p>

<p>There will be a describing  paragraph about each "room" and there will be choices depending on the room. IE, If there's two doors, you can choose which to go through, or if there's items you can use them and so on. As you progress, the story unfolds.</p>

<p>I really want to use php for it, since I don't really know alot of programming and I hear that it's an relatively easy entrance for that. I already know enough php to develop for Wordpress, as well.</p>

<p>I really want it to remind people about the old MUDs, designwise i want to be like a terminal or the cmd. The styling is certainly no problem with css, but i'm still not sure about what to use to make the typing feel good, but i'm currently eyeballing <a href="http://tryruby.org" rel="nofollow">tryruby.org</a> and <a href="http://goosh.org" rel="nofollow">goosh.org</a> to get the right feel.</p>

<p>Any ideas on how to go forth with that? What Do I need to use? Javascript/jQuery? Any good resources for me to look at?</p>

<p>EDIT: Ofcourse, it's online.</p>
