The Infected Land

A CLI game where you (as the Hero) must defeat the Villain's evil creations to cleanse the infection harming the land and its residents.

Project Description

This game uses the Terminal (Linux and macOS) or the Windows Terminal to run the game. It takes in user input via the keyboard to "Attack" or "Block" the enemy. Both the player's and the enemy's attack are attached to a random number generator that determines if the action is successful or not.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• Python 3 (latest release is recommended).
  • Linux OS users: Python is already installed
  • macOS users and Windows users: Python installation files are available from the official Python website.
• Rich Python Package
  • This package can be installed for various operating systems from PyPi here.

Download Options

• Download the program via one of the two options below:
  • Clone the repo: https://github.com/brittbot-bgates/the_infected_land.git
  • Download the ZIP file from the repo: https://github.com/brittbot-bgates/the_infected_land/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Executing The Program

I recommend executing this program in a Python Virtual Environment (virtualenv) to install the dependencies easier.

Learn more about virtualenvs, including how to create them, from the official Python Documentation.

1. Open the Terminal or Windows Terminal/Command Prompt
2. Change directory (cd) to the src directory of the program's directory path using one of the examples below:
   • Linux or macOS: cd /home/$username/Downloads/The-Infected-Land-master/src
   • Windows: cd \Users\$username\Downloads\The-Infected-Land-master\src
3. Type the following command to run the program: python main.py or python3 main.py
