Name of the game: UC Spooky Dungeon

Description

UC Spooky Dungeon is a text-based RPG adventure game that follows the life of a UCSD students exploring the deep depths of the CSE Dungeon. The player will choose from a select list of majors (like choosing a class in an RPG game) along with a dungeon size (which corresponds to the game difficulty). The game is played exploring rooms within the dungeon and advancing from room to room with items and hints gathered in previous rooms. Each game will be unique by randomly initializing rooms and items in order to increase playability. The game is played on the terminal. A player wins by defeating the final boss or finding the hidden treasure.

From scratch or inspired?

UC Spooky Dungeon is inspired by classic text-based adventure games such as Zork. The concept has been done before, however the narrative I wish to create will be unique and relatable to UCSD students. I will be using this guide as a reference: http://programarcadegames.com/index.php?lang=en&chapter=lab_adventure

What programming language(s) do you expect to use for this game?

I plan to use python. Although python is my most comfortable language, I want to strengthen my skills in OOP through creating objects/classes, which is one of the main ways text-based adventure games are developed.

How much programming experience do you have?

I have a lot of experience in Python over the course of my undergraduate studies, with several classes in ECE and COGS that helped me develop and strengthen my programming skills (C, Matlab, and Python to name a few).

Thanks for the proposal, @vmm2297! 🚀

I see what you did with the name (UC Spooky Dungeon) 👀. Awesome idea! There's a lot of text-based adventure games out there so you've got a lot of resources and it seems like you're very comfortable with Python as well, so I definitely think this is doable in ~2 weeks. Can't wait to see how you put your own twists and turns into a UCSD-based game 🎮.

Here's your SEAL of approval!

If you haven't done so already, we'd love it if you took some time to give us feedback about this weekly challenge on this google form.

Hey @vmm2297!

Now that your proposal got the SEAL of approval, I'll be closing this issue since it's now complete!

For our Open Source Summer Challenge for Week 3, we are creating a new issue (#12) that will track the actual implementation (coding, documentation, testing, etc.) of the game. This issue you made was just for proposing your game, so it has served its purpose. Now, to claim the new issue, please go to Issue #12, and comment saying that you'll be implementing UC Spooky Dungeon 👻 !

Once we get your comment, we will assign that issue to you.

Let me know if you have any questions, or if any parts of this are confusing!
