Python RPG Adventure

This file documents the development of a command-line RPG created with the help of a large language model. It tracks the game's evolution through different versions, detailing the features added at each stage and the prompts used to generate them.

How to Play

1. Run the game: Open a terminal or command prompt and run the script using python rpg.py.
2. Create your party: Choose the number of heroes you want to control (1-3) and select a class for each one (e.g., Warrior 🤺, Mage 🧙, Archer 🏹).
3. Explore the dungeon: Use the w, a, s, and d keys to move your party through the procedurally generated dungeons.
4. Combat: When you encounter an enemy (e.g., Goblin 👺, Orc 👹), you'll enter turn-based combat. On each hero's turn, you can:
   • (1) Attack 💥: Perform a basic attack on a random enemy.
   • (2) Skill ✨: Use your class's unique skill (e.g., Power Strike, Fireball, Double Shot).
   • (3) Inventory 🎒: Open your inventory to use a potion 🧪 or equip a different weapon ⚔️ or armor 🛡️.
5. Descend: Find the stairs (🔽) to descend to the next dungeon level.
6. Win: Defeat the final boss (🐉) on the last level to win the game.
