Text Games

This is my repository for some simple text-based games I'm creating. Hopefully they will get better over time.

You can run the text game by going into your command prompt, and running the equivalent of:

$ python games/filename.py

Bomb Defusal

My first attempt at a text game. It has been significantly refactored at this point, as the small narrative has been removed.

TODOs:

• Add difficulty levels.
• Add much needed complexity.
• Write tests.

Data Breach

Find words amid random junk characters and enter them into a command prompt to "hack into the mainframe".

TODOs:

• Fix countdown logic so program exits without user input.
• Make difficulty levels (randomize the casing of words, lower timer threshold, use longer passphrases).
• Write tests.
• Sometimes real words show up in the jargon. What can be done about this?

Tutorial Game

A text game tutorial by Al Sweigart, which I learned plenty from.

TODOs:

• Refactor this code (Make it DRYer, rename variables, etc.).

Combat Game

Retype the action prompts within the time limit to successfully defend your character/attack the enemy in medieval combat. This is a prototype for a combat system I'd like to incorporate into some browser-based games.

TODOs:

• Add difficulty levels -- Randomly generate a different enemy based on difficulty.
• Create enemies with different statistics and weapons.
• Write tests.
