I'm working on a text adventure game just for fun. I am not planning to complete it, but I decided to try it just to learn classes. Seeing the text game in another post using functions, I realize that that is a very nice way to make a simple game, but I went about this for educational purposes, not for ease.
I started out creating a character class and gave it some attributes just for fun. Then I created a room class and made some coordinates for the rooms (and a commented map). Finally I made a monster class and a menu system for the user.
I've learned a bit about classes from "Python Programmin for the Absolute Beginner," and have had to try to apply those concepts to this evolving game.
Honestly, I don't have a direct problem or anything except "where do I go next?"
I'd love to figure out a monster fighting system. I think a unique monster is put in a room, but I'm not sure how that works. If a monster is picked from a list and has a 1/3 chance of being placed in the room, is it really unique?
Current Goal:
* 4 rooms: bedroom, garden, pathway, kitchen
- Bedroom: has a bed that you can sleep in to regain health; one open exit to the garden; one locked exit to the kitchen (unlocked if you have key; uses key so it's no longer in your inventory)
- Garden: has one first level monster that can be easily beat; two exits.. one to bedroom one to pathway; a weapon is dropped by the monster (respawned after going to another map; 50% chance you can flee)
- Pathway: second level monster; drops key to get into kitchen
- Kitchen: For a later date...to figure out how to create a NPC (non-playing character); have an item in the kitchen which only appears after you talk to someone in a forest (yes, new room) who wants the item; take the item and bring it back to the person and they reward you with something...which then unlocks a new room...etc.
* Simple fighting system; (atk points for char and monsters...weapons = +atk ??)

I have little resources (I know more than my programming teacher because I'm ahead of the class and he's learning a couple days ahead of the students (first year teaching this class))...so he's just having me do whatever I want just to learn... It'd be great to receive both some conceptual help and some coding help. I've read a bit about class inheritance and I think that might be handy for rooms, but I'm not sure how I would implement that.
Thank you very much. (glad there are resources like this on the web)
