DuDuHoX

Making a maze game in order to learn Haskell.

Game

• Player is represented by '@'.
• Player can move around pressing W, A, S and D keys.
  • Can move only on top of walkable floor (represented by '.').
• Player can quit the game pressing Q key.
• To win the game, move on top of exit (represented by '!').

Progress

OK

• Movement: W, A, S, D.
• Quitting: Q.
• Winning: Moving onto '!'.
• World parsing: Matrix of char -> World.
• Line of sight: Bresenham's algorithm.
• Fog of war: Seen objects are grayed out when they go out of sight.
• Draw walkable floor: Walkable floor ('.') is not the same as empty space (' '); Empty space do not block vision but can't be moved onto.
• User interface (world display area, controls, message area): ASCII art.
• World scrolling: Player is always at the center of the screen.
• Console user interface: For old school lovers, has a buffer problem on Windows, need to press enter after every move.
• OpenGL user interface: Not super sexy, but has nicer graphics than the Console version, no buffer problems on Windows and a move-transition animation.
  • Background music: over-bad OpenMPT music made by the greatest composer of all history: myself.
  • Animation: the player has an animation of two sprites.

Things to do

• Improve user interfaces code: Make a core game module that handles the state of the game. The user interfaces modules should only provide "receive input" and "render" functions.
• Improve OpenGL user interface code: make a monad, just like DuDuHoXConsoleM, but for the OpenGL version that handles, for example, textures.
• Improve animations on OpenGL interface.
  • OpenGL user interface code is really ugly :(
• Add support for joystick.
• Graphical world editing: Create new worlds inside the game.
• Save game: Save your progress and resume later.
• Interactive objects: keys and doors.
• Circuits: Add levers connected to doors.
