This project serves as a comprehensive exercise in procedural map generation using Python and Pygame. It creates a rich, multi-regional, text-based adventure world that allows for player navigation through a set of interconnected rooms. The application is designed with extensibility in mind, making it possible to easily add new genres and themes by extending the included data.json file.
- Procedural Map Generation: Creates a complex and multi-regional map dynamically.
- Real-Time Map Visualization: Displays the map and the player's location in real time.
- Text-Based UI: Provides room descriptions, attributes, and available exits in a scrolling text box.
- Player Navigation: Use arrow keys to move between connected rooms.
- Dynamic Window Resizing: Adapts the window dimensions based on the map's size.
- Extensible Genres: The
data.jsonfile includes stubs for various genres including fantasy, sci-fi alien, western, post-apocalypse, sci-fi future, noir, cyberpunk, and steampunk.
The project consists of five Python files, each responsible for specific functionalities:
- Map.py: Responsible for the map generation, player movement, and room-to-room connections.
- Room.py: Defines the
Roomclass containing various attributes like coordinates, type, and description. - UI.py: Manages the Pygame-based graphical user interface for map visualization and text rendering.
- Grid.py: Constructs the grid, and provides utility functions to identify adjacent cells and generate the map.
- Data.json: Contains the default fantasy genre descriptions of rooms from which the maps are generated.
- Player.py: Contains the player object
- Python 3.x
- Pygame
