Hmm, suggestions for C++ vs Python for a text parsing game. Why reinvent the
wheel? Take a look at Inform, and then use one of the available interpretesr
for the resulting inform code.  The parser is the main part of the language.
Handles objects well enough for this sort of game. Fairly easy to extend the
parser and the rest of the code also.

But if I had to choose between Python & C++, my vote would go to the snake.
