Inspiration

I had several game ideas, such as coding a simulation, 2048 game, and a platformer game. I decided on a text based adventure game, where the character would face many challenges as seen in DOOM, but in text.

What it does

My project, Dungeon Run, is supposed to simulate an adventure through an unknown underground, where the character depends on fate to survive. I completed the first level, where the character meets some enemies and based on their random fate, remains victorious or dies.

How I built it

I used Python to code the game, and looked at different IDE's to run my code, such as replit.com, vscode, and some other smaller runners. I also looked at some resources on Geeks for geeks to solve errors, as well as look at examples for inspiration. I learned more about replit.com through this, and decided to publish my code there.

Challenges I ran into

I ran into many challenges, including looking for IDE's from above and a lot of software issues. It was only my second time creating a game in the area, and had some trouble getting the code to work. One example is actually after writing a large amount of code, where I had written the print statements incorrectly, and was forced to manually alter the software. After the errors, I believe that I gained a lot more experience coding text-based Python, which can be used in the future.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

I am very proud that my game works smoothly, and that all of the functions and objects implemented are fully functional. Though I haven't added many features to my game, I believe that the game content quality is high, and will be enjoyed by peers.

What I learned

I learned massive amounts of Python, including using booleans for more advanced formulas, as well as using random for an unstable fate.

What's next for Dungeon Run

In the future, I hope to improve the game by adding more content(levels), and also adding checkpoints for a better save. I also hope to convert the game into a more graphic UI, keeping the text, but adding an interactive map that players can use to guide themselves(which I hope to create with tkinter or turtle).

Overall, I feel that this project has been a massive success, though having many parts to improve, I hope you will select me as a victor!
