it depends on what you mean by text based game. if it's an image made of letters and symbols that moves, of if it's a game that is a computerised version of those choose your adventure books.

it would probably have to use some way of taking, let's say the wasd keys as input and having holding it count as one input per unit of time, and use an output to display a certain text, I'm sure there's some way to generate those txt files from img or jpg etc files, so if you make the game environment on a photo editor software, transform the pictures into text, and hook up the inputs and outputs properly, you've got the long winded way. I'd say JavaScript or C++ would be easier but don't take my word for it
