App21-06: Zuul Game - Console Application

IntelliJ Ultimate IDEA IJ-App06-Zuul Project

Description (10 Marks)

The student should write a description of their specific game, including how the game can be won or lost

Description: The aim of the game is to kill a vampire, collect it's blood and take the blood to the lab for testing so that a serum can be created to protect the people. The player starts outside and then enters a church where he picks up a scroll for protection. The player then goes to a cabin and picks up a weapon to fight enemies. He encounters his first enemy at the bridge and increases his score by killing the goblin. From the bridge, the player can either go to the deathpit or vampcave. If the player goes the deathpit, the game ends because the player dies. When the player chooses to go the vampcave, he is to kill a vampire and then earns a higher score. If the player does not kill the vampire, health is lowered and the player dies. From the vampcave, the player goes to the lab and gives the scientist the blood. At this point, the player's score inreased and the game has been won.

This game is based on the classic console based game Colossal Cave Adventure by Will Crowther (1975) see
