Raid’em
ASCII Roguelike in C++
This was a project in my Advanced Topics in Game Development class. The objective was to cover most of the basic topic in C++. Some of the required topics that had to be included were Encapsulation, Abstraction, Information Hiding, Inheritance, Polymorphism and Data Abstraction.
This is a basic C++ game, where the player (represented by ‘@’) is in a dungeon and has to raid it. There are two types of enemies present, a few pickups like weapons, gold and healing potion.
The game has a combat system, the player engages the enemy simply by running into them. If you don’t manage to kill the enemy in one hit, they do return damage. There is also a basic AI where the enemy randomly moves around and when you get close to them, they keep chasing you until you kill them.
The game reads the level using a text file. It also has a save and load feature, which also uses a text file, one to store player data and one to store map information. This was done by passing the text file data into a vector and then displaying on the screen.
