A choose your own adventure game set in a dystopian future where your decisions not only decide your fate, but the fate of your friends and family.
Devolution is a sci-fi choose your own adventure game set in a dystopian alien world. This game has been designed for Unix-Terminals so currently it only supports Linux and Mac OS.
This project is a recreation of a full year project I was apart of that was originally created in C. The stipulations for the project was that it had to be cool and less than 1000 lines of code. I've decided to recreate it in Rust because I wasn't happy with the final release of the original product.
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
- Rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh- Clone the Devolution-Rust
git clone https://github.com/markuz449/Devolution-Rust.git- Build using Cargo
cargo build- Run using Cargo
cargo runI used the Termion crate in this project to convert the terminal into raw mode. This meant that I could take inputs directly from the user without them having to enter something into the terminal and then press enter to continue the game. Termion also provided text colouring as well as text styling to make the game prettier.
The Character Creator is where you can create your (very simple) character. The current selected segment is blue so you know exactly where you are. The character's name has a max of 20 characters.
The story is piped through two different unix commands to format the text. I did this so that the story would be more readible as the terminal didn't offer word wrapping. The story was increadibly hard to read when words were broken halfway through with no clear indication. The text formatting also allowed the game to be ran with any size terminal.
The game also allows the user to re-read back through the story if they forgot something, just like a book. The only choice that is shown was the users original choice, all the other possible choices aren't visible when going back through the story.
The game also has a super simple help menu! Just hit the 'H' key and then you'll get all the information that you possibly need! P.S. There isn't a lot...
