I'm making a small adventure game where the player can walk through Dungeons and meet scary characters:
The whole thing is 20 java classes and I'm making this a standalone frame while it could very well be an applet I don't want to make another applet since I might want to recode this in C/C++ if the game or game engine turns out a success. The engine is the most interesting part of the game, it controls players and computer-controlled characters such as Zombies, Reptile Warriors, Trolls, Necromancers, and other Persons. These persons can sleep or walk around in the game and also pick up and move things. I didn't add many things so I suppose that is the next thing to do is to add things that can get used now that I already added many different types of walking persons.
What do you think I should add and do with things in the game?
The things I have so far is:
package adventure;
/**
* The data type for things. Subclasses will be create that takes part of the story
*/
public class Thing {
/**
* The name of the Thing.
*/
public String name;
/**
* @param name The name of the Thing.
*/
Thing( String name ) {
this.name = name;
}
}
public class Scroll extends Thing
{
Scroll (String name)
{
super(name);
}
}
class Key extends Thing
{
Key (String name)
{
super(name);
}
}
The key is the way to win the game if you figure our that you should give it to a certain person and the scroll can protect you from necromancers and trolls. If I make this game more Dungeons and Dragons-inspired, do you think will be any good? Any other ideas that you think I could use here?
The Threadwhich steps time forward and wakes up persons is called simulation. Do you think I could do something more advanced with this class?
package adventure;
class Simulation extends Thread
{
private PriorityQueue Eventqueue;
Simulation()
{
Eventqueue = new PriorityQueue();
start();
}
public void wakeMeAfter(Wakeable SleepingObject, double time)
{
Eventqueue.enqueue(SleepingObject, System.currentTimeMillis()+time);
}
public void run()
{
while(true)
{
try
{
sleep(5); //Sov i en halv sekund
if (Eventqueue.getFirstTime() <= System.currentTimeMillis())
{
((Wakeable)Eventqueue.getFirst()).wakeup();
Eventqueue.dequeue();
}
}
catch (InterruptedException e )
{
}
}
}
}
And here is the class that makes up the actual world:
package adventure;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
/**
* Subklass to World that builds up the Dungeon World.
*/
public class DungeonWorld extends World {
/**
*
* @param a Reference to adventure game.
*
*/
public DungeonWorld(Adventure a) {
super ( a );
// Create all places
