This is a simple text game, built on pure Java 8 and Maven for the build process.

This game allows you to:

• Create a new character
• Move through the world
• Fight with creatures and bosses
• Gain experience by actions
• Get level up
• Increase your health points (or heal up) using potions
• Save your progress
• Load saved progress
• Provide your own config.xml file with world objects

To build project you can use the command below in the root of the project:

./mvnw package

To run all test of the project you can use this command:

./mvnw test

After you have build the project you can run the game using the command:

java -jar target/textGameJava-0.1.jar

There is also a possibility to run the game with your own config (rooms, creatures). In order to do that just add an argument with a full path to file. For example:

java -jar target/textGameJava-0.1.jar /home/acmilanfan/IdeaProjects/textGameJava/target/custom_config.xml

If you want to create your own world, you can use pretty simple xml template. There are a few important things:

• Each room should have a unique id
• Properties order is very important, look at an example below
• To create rooms relationship (possibility to move from one to another), put a room id into left, right, top or up property
• The left, right, top, and up properties order is not important

A simple 5 rooms example:

<rooms>
     <room>
         <id>1</id>
         <message>1 room</message>
         <left>2</left>
         <right>3</right>
         <up>4</up>
         <down>5</down>
     </room>
     <room>
         <id>2</id>
         <message>2 room</message>
         <creatures>
             <creature>
                 <name>Mob 1</name>
                 <health>50</health>
                 <attack>10</attack>
                 <isBoss>false</isBoss>
             </creature>
             <creature>
                 <name>Mob 1</name>
                 <health>50</health>
                 <attack>10</attack>
                 <isBoss>false</isBoss>
             </creature>
         </creatures>
         <right>1</right>
     </room>
     <room>
         <id>3</id>
         <message>3 room</message>
         <left>1</left>
     </room>
     <room>
         <id>4</id>
         <message>4 room</message>
         <down>1</down>
     </room>
     <room>
         <id>5</id>
         <message>5 room</message>
         <creatures>
             <creature>
                 <name>Big Boss</name>
                 <health>500</health>
                 <attack>50</attack>
                 <isBoss>true</isBoss>
             </creature>
         </creatures>
         <up>1</up>
     </room>
 </rooms>

• Draw a world map with current character position
• Make menu commands truly related to the world state (for instance, now you could use move while in the battle state)
• Colorize console output
• Implement more game mechanics, for instance, classes, abilities, weapons, inventory, loot, money, stores, achievements, etc.
