CMPT120-Project

TL;DR Summary

Text based adventure game for my Intro to Programming final project.

Summary

This game is called Nowhere and the main objective is to get somewhere.
The player starts in the middle of Nowhere, a foggy forest landscape with a few structures surrounds them. Using their environment and wit they need to find their way back to somewhere before it is to late.

Dependencies

• Pygame
  • Installation instructions are platform specific - see their website for details.

Project Structure

• Assets
  Textures for the game. all background images are 936x527 all map icons are 47x26
• CommandFramework
  Contains code related to how the user's input is interpreted as commands
  • ImplementedCommands
    Contains the definitions of ICommand children that are the actual commands of the game
• EndConditionFramework
  Contains code related to defining conditions that the game should end within the user quitting
  • ImplementedCommands Contains children of IEndCondition that define the actual conditions that end the game
• EntityFramework
  Contains code related to constructing the entity framework
  • Nodes
    Contains defined nodes (used to store attributes for entities)
  • Systems
    Code related to systems
    • ImplementedSystems
      Defined systems (how it will behave)
    • Engine.py
      The central game engine that controls the running of systems
    • ISystem.py
      Interface for building a system
  • Entity.py
    Definition of what an entity should be (essentially a container for nodes).
• PygameLibraries Libraries that add to the functionality of pygame. These need to be bundled with the program source.
  • eztext.py Library for text input in the pygame gui
• main.py The main function of the game

Grading Project 4

• Change your handling of player movement to rely on a matrix. This is a slightly abstract was of thinking about it, but the dictionary located in Engine::locations serves as the first dimension and then the contents of the entities within act as the second dimension. For simple look at how I would use a traditional matrix, see MatrixMovement.py.
• Your game must now define at least ten (10) different locations. See main.py
  • Add a new list to the short name for each location (such as “the beach”). See main.py location initialization, added a NameNode to locations.
  • After discovering a location, subsequent visits show only the short name. See DrawLocationSystem lines 46-51
• Player must now have an inventory and some locations contain items. See main.py player initializing, adding InventoryNode
  • The inventory is a list that holds items the player picks up. See InventoryNode::inventory
  • You will need another list of the items at each location. See main.py location initialization, adding InventoryNode
  • At least three (3) of your locations must contain an item at the start. See main.py location initialization, parameters when adding InventoryNode
  • One item must be a map – “map” command works only if player has it. See main.py line 43
• Add new player commands:
  • Look around – displays the long description of a location. See LookCommand
  • Search/Examine – reveals the item (if any) at the current location. See SearchCommand
    • Record whether locations have been searched using a list of booleans. See InventoryNode::searched
  • Take – add item to the inventory (and remove from current location). See TakeCommand
    • Only allow the player to take an item if she has first searched the area. See TakeCommand::is_possible
• Add new win and loss conditions in addition to what you have so far. See main.py lines 145-147
  • Bringing a specific item to a specific location wins the game. See MapTowerWinCondition
  • Entering a specific location without a specific item loses the game. See MapRiverLossCondition
