Classes and OOP Principles

This project has been developed adhering to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and incorporates several key design patterns to ensure the code is clean, maintainable, and scalable.

Core classes

Entity (Abstract): The base class for all living entities in the game (both players and enemies). It encapsulates common attributes such as name, health, and basic stats.
Player (Abstract): The base class for player characters. It manages player-specific attributes like XP, mana, health, and core abilities.
Assassin, Knight, Wizard: These are subclasses of Player, each with unique abilities, stats, and playstyles.
Enemy (Abstract): The base class for all monsters. It contains the fundamental logic for combat, XP rewards, and aliveness status.
Dragon, Goblin, Skeleton, Vampire: These are subclasses of Enemy, each possessing distinct behaviors, stats, and special abilities.
EnemyStats, PlayerStats: Dedicated classes for managing and holding the data for players and enemies (e.g., attack power, defense). This promotes separation of data from the core logic of the entity classes.
Location: Represents different areas or zones within the game world. Each location contains a list of enemies.
Main: The primary class of the application, acting as the program's entry point. It is responsible for the initial setup, managing the main game loop, and calls to location and combat logic.

OOP Principles Employed:

Encapsulation: Data (variables) and behaviors (methods) are bundled within classes. Access to data is controlled through getter and setter methods, ensuring data integrity.
Abstraction: Abstract classes like Entity, Player, and Enemy define common interfaces and behaviors without implementing all details, allowing subclasses to provide specific implementations.
Inheritance: Concrete classes (Dragon, Assassin) inherit properties and methods from their base classes (Enemy, Player), extending or modifying them as needed.
Polymorphism: Objects of different classes can be treated through a common interface. For example, calling an attack() method on different Player or Enemy objects will result in distinct behaviors specific to each type.

Gameplay Guide

This is your guide to navigating the world, battling monsters, and becoming a legend.

How to Play

The game is played through text commands in your computer’s terminal. When the game asks you to do something, just type your answer and press Enter.

Exploration: You’ll move between different places in the game world. Each place might have different monsters.
Combat: When you meet a monster, a battle will begin. You’ll need to choose your actions wisely to win.

Understanding your stats

Here’s what your hero’s (and the monsters’) numbers mean:

Health Points (HP): This is your life bar. If your HP drops to 0, you lose the battle. Keep an eye on it!
Attack Power: This number shows how much damage you deal with each normal hit or spell. Higher is better!
Defense: This helps reduce the damage you take from enemy attacks. A good defense keeps you in the fight longer.
Mana Points (MP): heroes use MP to do actions (only light attack doesn't use MP).
Experience Points (XP): You earn XP by winning battles against monsters.

Your Hero

You can choose to be one of three types of heroes.

Each has a special ability:

Knight⚔️: Performs a shield bash that stuns the enemy, forcing them to skip their next turn while dealing heavy damage.
Wizard🧙‍♂️: Casts a devastating spell that damages the enemy while simultaneously replenishing some HP.
Assassin🗡️: Turns invisible, dodging the next incoming attack completely and guaranteeing a Critical Hit on their next turn.

Monsters You’ll Face

The world is full of creatures you’ll need to defeat:

Goblin👹: Small, common enemies. Good for practicing your fighting skills and earning early XP.
Skeleton☠️: These reanimated bones can be tricky. Some might even get back up after you defeat them!
Vampire🦇: Dangerous creatures that can drain your health. Be careful when fighting them!
Dragon🐉: One of the most powerful enemies in the game. You’ll need to be well-prepared and use all your skills to defeat a dragon.

Winning the Game

To win, you’ll need to explore, get stronger by leveling up your chosen hero, and use your skills effectively in combat to defeat all the challenging monsters, culminating in the defeat of the most powerful threats. Good luck on your adventure!
