As a user, one should be able to enjoy the game and...
- Create a fighter character
- Make choices in order to explore potential alternative paths
- Enter battles with fighter enemies
- Choose which moves to use against fighter enemies
- Delete/load character (not implemented, currently in production, buggy)
This project was required to have...
- CRUD (create, read, update, delete) access for at least one database entry. In this case, that's the player's created fighter character
- A join table to implement many-to-many relationships. In this case, our tables Fighters and Moves are joined by the Fighter_Moves table.
- This is a Ruby app, so you need to make sure you have Ruby installed on your system.
- The Ruby version used in development was
ruby 2.6.5p114 (2019-10-01 revision 67812) [x86_64-linux] - Clone this repository to your machine, and run "run.rb" in the repo's root directory
If you would like to (easily) add features to the game, consult the following recommendations,
- Add enemy fighters and moves: lib/seeds.rb --- To make this enemies part of story mode, replace the fighter.name within the bosses_in_order (if you want to replace the first boss, overwrite them over index[0], for the second boss replace index[1], etc) --- Update the story_text method with custom story text as needed
- Increase game length, add more overall bosess total: add additional elsif evaluations within the Interface class' run_story and story_text as needed
