Demo Video

A text-based Pokemon replica game runnable on Linux/Mac terminal. It was originally built for a C++ course at my university.

• It is a 2D god-view game in which the player can walk around freely with keys on the keyboard.
• Pokemons can be fought once encountered, or escaped from as the player desires.
• Players can upgrade their Pokemons by fighting others
• Game progress can be saved at checkpoints
• There are 3 scenes. As the game progresses, the enemies become harder to fight.

• The player and the map are rendered as a 2D god-view, as the player walks around and interacts with objects on the map.
• Once a battle has started, the player's Pokemon and the enemy are rendered as cute sprites.
• All graphics are drawn pixelated beautifully as terminal characters inside the terminal.

• The dialogue system features a polymorphism design.
• The game’s dialogue system is based on a massive node network. It is stored in an external file which is loaded once the game starts.

• There is a turn-based battle system for a Pokemon fight.
• Actual damage dealt with by the enemies is dynamic and will be affected by a random percentage (about 1-5%).

• Pokeballs that are used to capture Pokemons can be stored inside the inventory system.
• Attributes such as health, damage and experience points (XP) will be stored individually for each Pokemon.

• Game progress including the player’s location on the map and Pokemon attributes, such as health and XP, are saved into an external .json file.
• Player's progress is saved automatically once the Pokemon were healed.
