Prerequisites

• Windows / Mac / Linux
• Java 8+
• (Recommended) IntelliJ IDEA
• Community edition suffices
• As a student you can get Ultimate by just entering your student number

The Task

This homework consists of two parts:

• Part 1 – dungeon generator
• Part 2 – roguelike game (using the dungeon generator)

​

​

This is part 2.

​

​

As always, aim for at least GameJAM quality

​

The Task

You should implement a (simple) rogue-like/rogue-lite game.

Features you should aim for:

• Turn-based RPG
• Procedural environment
• (Optional) Permadeath

​

You should also use non-trivial PCG for one other component of the game:

• e.g. items, enemies, quests, …

Codebase

Continue from part 1.

You should create your own fork of the repository.

Work in reasonably small commits

​

Check out the Wiki

​

Both gradle tasks should still be the main approach:

• renderPng – will generate a PNG file into the out directory
• playGame – lets you explore the dungeon with a character

Criteria

Playable game, with some amount of challenge and content – 2 pts

• GameJAM quality, try to make it fun

Additional PCG component – 1 pts

​

1 bonus point, if you add at least one of:

• story
• sidequests
• class selection
• music + sfx
