This a game where you can explore a dungeon filled with enemies, healing items, and weapons (to fight the enemies). This project was made for my AP Computer Science A final project.
This project was made using LWJGL, which is a lightweight and low level way to create graphics in Java. It is built on top of OpenGL.
You can install the game by:
- Download the source code from the latest release in the releases section.
- Extract the file and create a new IntelliJ project from the source code.
- On Mac (and possibly Linux): In IntelliJ, navigate to
Run -> Edit Configurations.... Then, click "Modify Options" -> "Add VM options" then inputXstartOnFirstThread. - Run Game.java to run the game. Refer to the "Game Information" section of this README to learn about controls, items, and objects in the game.
To configure the game, modify the Consts.java file. This file contains information such as the world seed, screen dimensions, and FPS limiter.
If the window is too small or large, you can change the dimensions by modifying SCREEN_WIDTH to a more appropriate value. Note that SCREEN_WIDTH must be divisible by 32 for the screen to render properly. Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are not supported.
To modify the world seed, set SEED to any integer. This will create a different world when running the game.

The last direction key that you pressed is the place where your attack will be executed. For example, if the last movement was "D", the attack will be executed to the right (since D moves the player to the right).
Press the space bar to attack an ENEMY. When the enemy is near enough, it will move backwards and take damage. Three hits are needed to kill an enemy.
Press space bar to use a heart. Using a heart will heal one heart in the health bar, which can be seen on the bottom left of the screen. If the health bar reaches 0, the game will reset.
Enemies will move towards the player until they collide with the player. Once they collide, they will rebound and inflict damage to the player. The player can kill an enemy using a sword and heal from an enemy's attacks using a heart.
Moving near a chest will open it. The item will be added to your inventory. If no item is currently selected, it will be automatically selected.
