Treasure Mole Adventure

Project Background

This is a game I made for my term project for 15-112 Fundamentals of Programming and Computer Science at CMU in Spring 2022 (Grade: 93.7%). Using the Tkinter graphics library and graph-based algorithms (namely Cellular Automata, Prim's Algorithm, and Breadth First Search), this project is a game where the player must collect treasures in a cave with the help moles they find in the cave, similar to Nintendo's Pikmin series of games. Besides some typo fixes and inclusions of links to important resources, all markdown below and files in the repository remain unchanged since the project's submission.

About Treasure Mole Adventure

Treasure Mole Adventure is a top-down 2D adventure and strategy game in which the player controls an army of moles in a randomly generated cave by throwing them at objects. Throwing them at enemies (mushrooms) causes them to attack them and throwing them at dead enemies and treasure makes them carry these items back to the player's landing site to make more moles and progress through the game's objective (collecting all the treasure) respectively.

The main objective of the game is to use the moles to collect all the treasure and defeat enemies to make more moles to carry heavier treasure. If all the moles die or the player can't make enough moles to carry all the treasure, it's game over. Try to go for a best time!

How to run Treasure Mole Adventure

Download the code as a .zip file and extract it. Then run main.py

Required libraries

This program uses the CMU 112 graphics library (an altered version of the Tkinter library), which requires PIL/Pillow and Requests to work properly.

One can find the CMU 112 graphics library file at the following links:

Current version (As of December 26th, 2023): https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~112/notes/cmu_112_graphics.py

Version used for this project: https://www.kosbie.net/cmu/spring-22/15-112/notes/cmu_112_graphics.py

Shortcut commands

For the sake of demonstrating different components of the game, the user can use the following shortcut commands in gamePlayMode:

0 - Toggles the ability to use shortcuts on and off. They are off by default.

1 - Removes all enemies and pre-existing treasure, replacing such treasure with one in the player's position and a weight (molesNeeded value) of 1. This demonstrates the ability for the moles to carry the treasure to the land site and execute the win condition.

2 - Moves an enemy to the player's position (or makes an enemy in the player's position if there are no enemies). This demonstrates attacking the enemy, carrying the dead enemy to the land site when defeated, and the first losing condition (all the moles are dead)

3 - Changes a treasures weight (molesNeeded value) to 1000, a weight that is impossible to carry in normal gameplay. This demonstrates the second losing condition (the player can't make enough moles to carry the treasure).
