Basic RPG

A CodeLouisville Project
A simple command line role-playing game

Installation and Running

• This project was developed in Python 3.8
• This project does not use any external libraries.
• Run python3 play.py

Source Overview

This project consists of one class:

• Character sets values for name, attack, defense, weapon, armor, and hit points.
  • The equip_weapon() method sets the character object's weapon according to user prompts.
  • The equip_armor() method sets the character object's armor according to user prompts.

The game loop is in the play.py module.

The battle.py module contains the following functions:

• battle() is a loop that will run until the user chooses to exit or until the character or enemy reaches 0 hit points.
• attack_command() determines if an attack misses or hits and whether the damage reduces the target to 0 hit points.
• attack_damage() calculates and returns the damage value for each attack.

Requirements

This project fulfills the following requirements:

• Implement a “master loop” console application where the user can repeatedly enter commands/perform actions, including choosing to exit the program.
  • There are two loops: one in battle.py and the main loop in play.py. Exiting the loop in play.py will exit the program entirely.
• Create a class, then create at least one object of that class and populate it with data.
  • The Character class is used to create a character for the user. The object instance is created in the characters.py module.
• Read data from an external file, such as text, JSON, CSV, etc and use that data in your application.
  • Weapons and armor used by the Character class are read from the weapons.csv and armor.csv files, respectively.
• Create and call at least 3 functions, at least one of which must return a value that is used.
  • Multiple functions and methods can be found in all three .py modules.

Additional Requirements

• Your code have comments that document major sections of your code to make it easier to read.
• Your project code is uploaded to your GitHub account, in its own repository, with at least 5 commits.
• It must include a README file located at the top level directory of your project that includes:
  • A description of your project
  • What features you chose to included (so we know what to look for)
  • Any special instructions we might need to run your project
