A text adventure game, with no death or dead ends.
Just for fun, and to learn Rust.
Basically everything. :-)
The order of this list is relevant, but subject to change.
- Section navigation: move from room to room freely ✅
- Objects/people the player can interact with (take, examine, ...). Objects and people are technically the same, as there is no reason not to be able to talk to an object; on the other side, people can be examined, pushed, etc. Begin with very basic interaction (objects only provide an info string for every interaction). ✅
- Objects which move the player to another section/room when used (portal objects) ✅
- Implement inventory and take interaction
- Use a proper parser instead of a bunch of regexes. Pest looks nice
- Provide a way to win the game
- Implement state in sections and objects: objects may change (i.e. a book is open or closed), and rooms may change their description and/or exits (i.e. a locked door can be unlocked) if the player does something
- Provide an alternate IO trait which delays the writing of characters, providing a teletype-like visual effect
- Use bold, italic, etc to show important things in the console. This would need to be done in a somewhat portable way. Also, the IO trait would need to parse the strings in order to apply the poper escape codes.
- Compile to a wasm target and have the game run in a web browser
- Non-obvious (i.e. more than one sentence) talk with people/objects
- Allow player to save and restore games
- Provide a way to load text data from a configuration fine
- Attempt to develop an alternative interface use ncurses or so, in order to provide a semi-point&click experience by allowing to use buttons to move around, interact with objects/people and access to inventory
- I18N support
Months of fun ahead!!! 😏
