This is a simple terminal game that takes user input in the form of a direction to find an object (hat) in a maze-like map with traps. It consists of a player character (*), holes (O), and a hat (^). You must give directions either up, down, left or right to navigate around the holes and reach your hat.
To run the game you will need to have node installed.
Navigate to the repository folder in a terminal window and run node main.js.
When you start the game a random 5x5 map will be displayed. It is not always solvable. The main game loop is as follows:
- Display the map
- Ask for direction input
- Update map based on input
- If you go outside the map or fall in a hole, the game closes
- Show the path the character has taken with player characters (*)
This is a program to help demonstrate knowledge of classes in JavaScript. The main character is a class instance and the directions are methods. There is also a static method for creating a map of a specified width and height. In the game, it's called at the beginning to generate the map, although the width and height are specified at (5,5).
