World of Zuul v.2
This is a better version of the World of Zuul 3D game. After completing the set exercises, try adding to the game with your own ideas.
The design of this program is different from version 1. It contains many enhancements and improvements. The most notable changes are:
- The Room class is using a HashMap to keep track of exits.
- The Doty class has a “revert” method.
- The “checkWall” method inside the Game class has changed completely.
Step 1
Explain how the above changes are beneficial to the structure of our Game. In particular, explain how each change allows for greater flexibility.
Step 2
Right now, you can only create rooms to the east and west. Incorporate the north and south wall in this new design. Create a 5 room setup just like in version 1.
Step 3
In this version, we can create objects of the Block class in each Room. Doty cannot walk pass a block. Each block contains a description and the player can look at the description of each block by pressing the ‘L’ key when Doty is near a block. Modify your program so that if Doty is near a “Breakable Block”, and the user presses the ‘B’ key, the breakable block will disappear. The ‘B’ key will have no effect on “Normal Block”.
Step 4
Create a new Character class. A character contains a description, and a collection of responses. All of these are of the String type. Modify the room class so that each room may contain 0 or more characters. The Character class must have the following functionality:
- When Doty is close to a character and the user press the ‘L’ key, the character description will be displayed on screen.
- When Doty is close to a character and the user press the ‘T’ key, one of the character’s responses will be randomly displayed on screen.
