Inspiration

Memes... Please see the image gallery below. The Oregan Trail Game's perilous nature was also an inspiration for the number of booby-traps and ways to die in our game.

What it does

Monke is a text-based command-line prompt game where the user selects choices to try to escape a smuggling ship commandeered by cyborg monkeys, and find safety once you do.

How we built it

We built it collaboratively over Visual Studios Live Sharing in C++.

Challenges we ran into

2/3 of us had never coded in C++ before and had to learn the syntax and semantics for coding in C++ on the fly. A large portion of time had been spent creating and troubleshooting our loops.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a funny command-line game that's easy to use. We applied our basic programming skills and were able to create a project that was within our scope knowledge, but also provided a challenge for us to implement new things. We were able to resolve all the issues that required troubleshooting, and all things considered, we were pretty successful in our goals.

What we learned

We learned several different forms of C++ syntax, as well as a few tricks that we could use with our newfound knowledge. Most importantly however, we learned to get into the programming mindset, constantly looking for errors and possible ways to fix them through what we know, and if there wasn't anything in our knowledge we would search for new answers by learning new methods.

What's next for Monke

We will continue to work on the next chapters of the game and implement more pathways into it. The content will be separated by more chapters and we would like to have pictures and sound eventually. The events will eventually be randomized when you start the game, so it will have replay value.
