Dungeon Crawler Game

About Project

This individual project was developed as part of my coursework during my second year of university. The game is a simple text-based dungeon crawler built using C# as a console application. The player navigates through different randomised scenarios, attacking enemies and collecting items, with the ultimate goal of accumulating 100 gold without dying.

Key Features

• Randomised gameplay scenarios, offering a unique experience each time the game is played.
• Combat system where the player battles enemies and gathers items to increase their chances of survival.
• Multi-threaded combat actions, allowing the player to see real-time fight actions and results during combat, adding a dynamic and immersive experience.
• Progress tracking with save functionality, using JSON to store items and a binary file to save the player’s progress.
• Developer mode accessible through the command-line interface, allowing customisation of game elements, such as adding enemies, weapons, and adjusting the difficulty.

Process

The game was built to focus on both core game mechanics and dynamic combat interactions. By using C# and multi-threading techniques, I was able to create a more interactive and engaging experience that allows players to see each fight action unfold in real-time. The save functionality ensures that players can pick up from where they left off, adding replayability.
