App21-06: Zuul Game - Console Application

IntelliJ Ultimate IDEA IJ-App06-Zuul Project

Description (10 Marks)

Cracked stone walls, withered wood floors, a place wholly unfamiliar, what were you doing here again? By the sound of it a battle is raging on the other side of the large ironclad doors behind you but said doors are barred by some kind of magic. Right now your only choice is to head further into this archaic building.

[Title Pending] is a game in which you play as an amnesiac mage caught in a situation you can't quite recall how you got yourself into. You must explore the derelict building gathering tools and knowledge in order to solve puzzles and get to the centre where a important character is waiting.

The game is won by getting to the centre,

The game is lost if the player dies

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