Java Knight - Turn-Based RPG Game

Project Overview

This project is a simple turn-based RPG game written in Java.
The player can choose a character and fight different enemies such as Skeletons, Goblins, Vampires, and a final Dragon boss.

The game focuses on basic object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance, abstraction, and interfaces.

Features

Choose between different character classes:
- Knight
- Assassin
- Wizard
Turn-based combat system
Different enemy types with unique behaviors
HP and MP system for player and enemies
Weapon and armor system
Experience points (XP) and leveling up
Special abilities for each character
Simple map progression (Village, Forest, Castle)

Game Mechanics

Combat System

Each turn, the player can choose one action:

Light Attack (no MP cost)
Heavy Attack (uses MP)
Defend (reduces incoming damage)
Heal (restores HP but uses MP)
Special Ability (strong attack with MP cost)

Enemies also attack automatically after the player's turn.

Level System

Players gain XP after defeating enemies
After reaching a certain XP threshold, the player levels up
Leveling up increases HP and MP

Items System

Weapons increase attack power
Armor reduces incoming damage and can break after repeated use
Keys are collected by defeating specific enemies

Object-Oriented Design

This project uses basic OOP principles:

Encapsulation: All player stats are private with getters/setters
Inheritance: Different player classes extend the base Player class
Polymorphism: Enemies and players share the Entity interface
Abstraction: Abstract Player class defines shared behavior

Conclusion

In this project, I was able to build a simple text-based RPG game using basic Java concepts such as classes, inheritance, and interfaces. Through this project, I learned how different game mechanics like combat, leveling up, and inventory systems can be implemented using object-oriented programming.
