rooms

This is a multiplayer ascii game (or so far, only the framework for a game actually)

The goal now is to have players walk around in different rooms where they can interact with things.

A lot of functionality is actually working.

Working Features

• Multiplayer
• Walking around
• Switching between rooms
• Persistent inventory
• Fighting
• NPC's

Vision/ideas

The idea is to make 3 different kind of areas:

• private areas, where players can build their own house/farm
  • these areas will be the only one where players can build
  • other players can only enter with permission of the owner
  • maybe some group areas too? (that can be bought with in-game currency)
• public areas, where players can interact with each other and npcs
  • towns, where players can trade
  • static dungeons, where monsters spawn
  • whatever levels someone feels like making
  • similar to the world of most mmorpgs
• procedurally generated dungeons, where players can explore and fight for loot
  • like roguelikes
  • if the player dies they can not return to the same dungeon

TODO first

• monster/object spawners
• test server robustness
• more efficient detection for monsters
• growing plants
• more content (rooms, objects etc)
• loot
• equipment
• healing
• room unloading when there are no players
• better interaction selection
• more efficient drawing/communication by only updating changed squares
• write converter to convert tiled map files to readable files
• multicharacter sprites in client

DONE

• make server robust to invalid messages
• attack cooldown
• add enemies
• factions
• add combat
• improve inventory: probably store it in Player instead of Playerent
• better interaction system
• more code reusability in gameobjects
• avoid long files
