Simple Text Adventure Game

A Simple Text Adventure Game, a game engine that is accessed through a game server. A good example of these sorts of games is Zork . The game engine logic was built from scratch using Java, Maven, and JUnit with proper testing. While the game entities and actions are read from the file system.

Features

The basic commands for this game are:

• Inventory - (or inv for short) lists all of the artefacts currently being carried by the player
• Get - picks up a specified artefact from the current location and adds it into the player’s inventory
• Drop - puts down an artefact from the player’s inventory and places it into the current location
• Goto - moves the player from the current location to the specified location (if there is a path to that location)
• Look - prints names and descriptions of entities in the current location and lists paths to other locations
