There are 9 rooms interconnected, the items on the rooms will be randomly placed from a pool on each run. The room map looks like this:
| Room 1 | Room2 | Room3 |
| Room 4 | Room5 | Room6 |
| Room 7 | Room8 | Room9 |
Keep in mind you always start at room 1
- look: Shows you the room, its contents and the neighbor rooms
- up, down, left, right: Allows you to move through the rooms
- pick: Allows you to pick one item, keep in mind Zuuc can't carry heavy items
- hand: Shows you the item at hand
- drop: Drops the item at hand on the current room
- embed: embeds one item of the room with the one at hand making it more tasty. The item on the room is destroyed in exchange
- succ: Sucks the data of the item at hand, makes you stronger and allows you to pick heavier items
- help: Shows a help menu
- exit: goes out of the game
I approached this game following a similar structure than the one provided at the sample code of the assignment. Although once read it, I knew there were things I wanted to do differently, for example, for rooms and items I used the Object factory pattern to create my items and rooms and provide them randomly or generate a dungeon from a single method if required.
Another unique feature I developed was the capacity to suck data from items which had me categorizing items by the amount of data they carry and make a formula that makes the character stronger by doing so and as such, at the beginning the character can't lift a laptop and at the end it can even lift a concrete wall!
Also please notice that the git structure follows the git flow pattern (even though, to keep simplicity, git flow hasn't been installed, I just use its convention)
I had lots of fun scheming a story fitting the kind of game Zork is and made an adventure of my own flavor.
