Project Title:

Text-based RPG using C

Project Overview:

The Text-based RPG is a simple role-playing game where players interact with the game world through text input and output. Players control a character who explores a world, engages in battles, collects items, and completes quests—all via a command-line interface. This project is implemented using the C programming language.

Key Features:

• Character Creation: Players create a character by choosing attributes such as name, class, and starting stats (e.g., health, attack, defense).
• Combat System: Turn-based combat where players face off against enemies, using attack, defense, or healing commands.
• Inventory Management: Players can collect and equip items like weapons and armor to improve their stats.
• Quest System: Players can accept and complete quests, earning rewards such as experience points or items.
• Exploration: Simple maps or areas where players can move, interact with NPCs, or discover hidden locations.
• Experience and Leveling: Players earn experience points from combat and quests, allowing them to level up and increase their attributes.

Technologies Used:

• C Language: Handles all the game logic, user input/output, and data structures.
• Structures: To define player, enemy, item, and world data.
• Functions: Modularize the game logic (combat, movement, quest completion).
• Arrays: For managing items, inventory, and available quests.
• Random Number Generation: For simulating enemy attacks, loot drops, and quest outcomes.

Learning Outcomes:

• Designing a text-based interface for user interaction.
• Implementing a turn-based combat system.
• Understanding how to store and manage game data using structures and arrays.
• Implementing random elements like loot drops and enemy behavior.
• Creating a simple quest and progression system.
• Managing game states (exploring, fighting, inventory, questing) effectively.

Possible Enhancements:

• Add more complex quest chains and storylines.
• Implement a larger world with multiple locations and NPCs.
• Introduce more advanced combat mechanics (e.g., skills, magic, abilities).
• Add a save/load game feature for session continuity.
• Include a multiplayer feature where players can engage in battles with each other.
• Improve text formatting and add ASCII art for better visual appeal.
