Better way to create text based game

Question

Right, i was uncertain if I should post this as it is a little vague but I really would like some help with this so I will try explain as best as possible. The Idea: To create a text based game using Javascript/jQuery, the game will be that of one where a story is being told and you get to pick the options. My idea was to use a `textarea` to allow input from the user (select a option) and output text (from the story). How far have I got? Well this is what I have created so far. JavaScript/jQuery: ``` var current, text, location, option1, option2; location = ''; // house, car, moon current = 0; gameOver = false; pick = false; jQuery("textarea").keypress(function (e) { if (e.which == 13) { var content = this.value; var lastLine = content.substr(content.lastIndexOf("
") + 1); // Story if (current == 0 && pick == false) { option1 = 'Look around'; option2 = 'Check you have arms (Check arms)'; text = 'You open your eyes

I would go with some kind of strategy pattern. Create i.e. a Game constructor

```
var Game = new function(strategy) {
    this.strategy = strategy;
}

Game.prototyp.playScene = function() {
    return this.strategy();
}
```

Then you can create `scenes` where you would place your logic

```
var sceneOne = function() {
    console.log('First scene logic here');
}

var sceneTwo = function() {
    console.log('Second scene logic here');
}
```

and finally you can call these logics as follows:

```
var game;
if(e.which == 13) {
    if(condition1) {
        game = new Game(sceneOne);
    } else {
        game = new Game(sceneTwo);
    }

game.playScene();
}
```
