• Game Screenshots

• Files containing an entry main() function:

  • FullGame.java for Game with Starting, Winning and Losing screens.

    • Starting screen
      • 1st TextField: 'Warrior' or 'Wizard' for choosing Player Class.
      • 2nd TextField: Player name (must be non empty).
      • 3rd TextField: 'debug' for one-shooting enemies (Player deals 10001 damage). I've implemented it to make the game easier to beat, regardless of the stats for the player, the enemies and the items.

  • OnlyGamePanel.java only for Game Panel with no support for winning or losing. (for easier access to game / debugging)

• Controls

  Key	Action
  W/A/S/D	Player movement
  SPACE	Player attack
  F	Go to next room
  U	Use potion (marked by Inventory Cursor)
  P	Drop potion (marked by Inventory Cursor)
  [ / ]	Move Inventory Cursor (Up/Down respectively)
  T	Pick-up Weapon & Drop existing Weapon (if exists)
  G	Pick-up Shield & Drop existing Shield (if exists)
  R	Rest (+5HP for Warrior, +5HP +5MP for Wizard)

• Map Generation

  • Generated a 60x60 grid of tiles with a random probability [0.41-0.5] (fixed for a given room) of a tile being Floor or Wall.

  • Ran an iteration of Cellular Automata using the 4-5 Rule: For any given tile, if it has <=3 surrounding Walls (counting all 8 surrounding tiles), it becomes a Floor. If is has >=5 surrounding Walls, it becomes a Wall. Otherwise, its type stays the same.

  • Floodfilled the map starting from a random Floor position to eliminate "islands" (areas which share no connections with the main area).

  • Created and sorted 9 maps by ascending fill-rate order. Set a threshold of fill-rate 0.3 for the map to be sufficiently large. Assigned each map to a room, trying to match the fillrates given at 'description.pdf'.

• Enemies

  • Each enemy has an instance of the A* class and runs the A* algorithm at each step to find the best path from his location to the player. Its next move will be the first move in the optimal path.

  • Every player move triggers the spawning of an enemy, except moving the Inventory Cursor.

  • Enemies spawn with a probability of: 0.25*(1-exp(-4*player_HP/player_HP_max))

  • Changed enemy names to match the sprites I used, while keeping the same stats.

    GiantRat -> Goblin

    MadGuard -> Ice Zombie

    Skeleton -> Swampy

    SkeletonLord -> OrcShaman

    Shade -> Necromancer

    Nameless One -> Demon

  • Maximum 5 enemies per map.

• Potions / Usables

  • Three rarities: Minor, Normal, Supreme with each rarity giving a higher replenishment of stats (HP/MP).

  • Three types: Health (only replenishing HP), Mana (only replenishing MP), Restoration (replenishing both).

    A Warrior only finds Health potions (he doesn't have MP), a Wizard can find all of them.

  • 5 potions per map. After entering a new room, the potions are initialized to 5, even if the player has entered the room before.

  • Automatically picked up by the player, if the potion can fit in the Inventory (maximum Inventory size = 10). The dropped potions just disappear.

• Weapons / Equippables

  • Followed the method given at the pdf of the project. Each equippable has 2 stats, a main and a secondary such that: main_stat + secondary_stat = itemlevel = 5*player_level + 5

  • Equipped at:

    • MAIN_HAND: Sword, Axe, Staff
    • OFF_HAND: Shield

  • The Warrior can find: Sword, Axe, Shield, the Wizard can find: Staff, Shield.

  • 4 equippables per map, initialized to 4 every time the player enters a room.

  • The dropped equippables are placed on the map, at the player position.
