JavaBasicCreate a simple engine for text-based adventure games. Users can navigate rooms, interact with objects, and solve puzzles defined in simple configuration files (e.g., JSON or plain text). Focus on object-oriented design to represent locations, items, and player actions.
What you'll build
This project involves building a flexible engine for creating text-based adventure games in Java. You will develop a system where game worlds, including rooms, items, connections, and basic puzzles, are defined externally in configuration files (JSON format recommended for ease of parsing and structure). The engine will parse these files to create the game environment. Players will interact with the game through text commands entered into the console (e.g., 'go north', 'take key', 'look'). The core focus will be on applying Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles to model the game entities (Rooms, Items, Player) and their interactions effectively. Requirements include a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed, an IDE (like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or VS Code), and potentially a JSON parsing library (like Jackson or Gson, which you'll learn to integrate). This project serves as a solid foundation, and the description includes steps for future enhancements like adding complex puzzles, NPCs, basic combat, or even a simple scripting system, making it a valuable portfolio piece with potential for expansion.
