Dungeon Crawler 2

2D Java Rogue-like rpg dungeon crawler game. (Screenshots below)

I implemented many features that LibGDX already supports out of curiosity.educational purposes. I would not recommend doing this in a final product.

Features

1. Procedurally generated levels
2. 2D fragment based lighting
3. Simple Game AI
   • Pathfinding
   • Targeting/Attacking/Etc.
4. 100% custom GUI/Interface
   • Custom windows and window management
   • Custom widgets
   • Custom event handling
5. Experience/Leveling system
   • Gain attribute points to improve your character by defeating dungeon monsters.
6. Inventory management system
7. Fast-paced gameplay
8. Loot!
   • Items/Loot can be found throughout the dungeon or by defeating dungeon monsters.
9. Record keeping system
   • Keeps track of various in-game stats (time played/attribute points spent/damage dealt/damage taken and many more)
   • Allows for developers to quickly and easily add new stats to record with just two short lines of code.
10. Custom asset/resource manager
    • Ensures duplicate resources aren't loaded into memory.
    • Ensures resources are disposed of correctly.
11. Custom Animations system

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

1. Clone DungeonCrawler2 repo

2. Import DungeonCrawler2 into Eclipse as a Gradle project

   • Import
     • Gradle
       • Existing Gradle Project
   • Welcome Window
     • No actions, hit next
   • Import Gradle Project
     • Selected the project root directory
       • ex. C:\Users<user>\Documents\GitHub\DungeonCrawler2
     • Hit next
   • Import Options Window
     • No actions, hit next
   • Import Preview
     • If the preview loaded correctly, finish and move on.
     • else:
       • Error #1

         - Gradle user home directory: Unknown
         - Gradle distribution:        Gradle wrapper from target build
         - Gradle version:             Unknown
         - Java home directory:        Unknown
         
         - Error: Could not fetch model of type 'BuildEnvironment' using Gradle distribution '/htts://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1-rc-1-bin.zip'
         - Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Value 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1' given for org.gradle.java.home Gradle property is invalid (Java home supplied is invalid)
         

       • Solution:
         • Navigate to .../DungeonCrawler2/gradle.properties
         • change org.gradle.java.home to your java jdk home/version
           • Ex: "org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1
         • Run gradlew.bat (not sure this is necessary)
         • Delete the project from eclipse
           • NOTE: Do NOT delete project from disk, only from eclipse.
         • Reimport the project
           • There's probably an easier way to refresh the gradle project but I don't know what it is.

3. Set DungeonCrawler2 to use the assets folder

   • Right-click "DungeonCrawler2-desktop" (in Eclipse project explorer)
   • Run As
   • Run Configurations
   • Arguments (tab)
   • Under "Working directory:"
   • Change from "Default" to "Other"
   • "Workspace..." (button)
   • Select "DungeonCrawler2 > core > assets"
   • "OK" (button)

4. Starting the game
