Interactive 2D Adventure Game
Project Summary
This project is a 2D Adventure Game built with JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, and CSS, where the player controls a character exploring a map, interacting with objects, solving puzzles, and progressing through a storyline. It’s focused on exploration, narrative, and player choice.
Core Components
Game World and Map
- Created using tile-based grids or free-form canvas drawings.
- Includes different areas (forests, dungeons, towns, etc.) with transitions.
- Uses sprites for the main character, objects, and background.
Character Movement
- Controlled with arrow keys or WASD.
- Smooth movement and animations when walking or interacting.
Interaction System
- Player can interact with NPCs, items, or triggers.
- Dialog boxes, item pickups, and puzzle-solving elements are included.
Quest and Story Logic
- Progression is based on completing tasks, collecting items, or unlocking areas.

- Health, inventory, quests, and dialogue boxes.
- Start screen, pause/resume, and game-over screens.
Technologies Used
- HTML5 Canvas (for drawing characters, tiles, and environments)
- JavaScript (movement logic, interaction, game loop)
- CSS (styling menus, overlays, and interface elements)
- Optional: Spritesheets and tile maps for world design
Learning Outcomes
- Building a dynamic 2D game using canvas and JavaScript
- Managing character movement and world boundaries
- Structuring event-based interactions and dialogues
- Implementing game loops, collision detection, and inventory systems
- Creating a compelling interactive experience in a web environment
Possible Enhancements
- Add sound effects and background music
- Save/load progress using localStorage or a simple backend
- Expand the map and add side quests or mini-games
- Include cutscenes or animated transitions
- Add support for mobile touch controls
