OOP-Text-Based-RPG

I just create this repository because I just want to make practice of my OOP (Object-Oriented-Programming) skills. With that project, I'm going to make a native super simple RPG Text Based game using C# on Windows Form Application.

What are the classes/objects in our game?

For our game, we want to do these things:

• The player goes to locations.
• The player may need to have certain items to enter a location.
• The location might have a quest available.
• To complete a quest, the player must collect certain items and turn them in.
• The player can collect items by going to a location and fighting monsters there.
• The player fights monsters with weapons.
• The player can use a healing potion while fighting.
• The player receives loot items after defeating a monster.
• After turning in the quest, the player receives reward items.

So, the nouns (classes/objects) in this game will be Player, Location, Item, Quest, Monster, Weapon and Healing Potion. We'll need a few others, but we can start with these.

Version 1.0 released.

What's next?

This is a very simple RPG, and there is a lot you can do to expand it.

Here are a few ideas:

• Save the player's current game to disk, and re-load it later
• As the player gains experience, increase their level
  • Increase MaximumHitPoints with each new level
  • Add a minimum level requirement for some items
  • Add a minimum level requirement for some locations
• Add randomization to battles
  • Determine if the player hits the monster
  • Determine if the monster hits the player
• Add player attributes (strength, dexterity, etc.)
  • Use attributes in battle: who attacks first, amount of damage, etc.
• Add armor and jewelry
  • Makes it more difficult for the monster to hit the player
  • Has special benefits: increased chance to hit, increased damage, etc.
• Add crafting skills the player can acquire
• Add crafting recipes the player use
  • Require the appropriate skill
  • Requires components (inventory items)
• Make some quests repeatable
• Make quest chains (player must complete Quest A before they can receive Quest B)
• Add magic scrolls
• Add spells
  • Level requirements for the spells
  • Spells require components to cast (maybe?)
• Add more potions
  • More powerful healing potions
  • Potions to improve player's to hit chances, or damage
• Add poisons to use in battle
• Add pets
  • Help the player in battle by attacking opponents
  • Help the player in battle by healing the player
• Add stores/vendors
  • Player can sell useless items and buy new equipment, scrolls, potions, poisons, and crafting/spell components

There are also more programming techniques you can learn to make the program a little cleaner.

• LINQ, when searching lists
• Events/delegates, to handle communication between the logic project and the UI project – which will let you move more logic code out of the UI project
• BindingList, so you don't have to repeatedly repopulate the DataGridViews and ComboBox in the UI

What will the game look like?
