Gundabad is a dungeon-crawling game built in Processing for the Video Games module at the University of St Andrews.
The game starts with a character creation screen, which uses classic fantasy role-playing game races:
The player moves their character through caves, trying to reach the stairs down to the next level. Move your character by clicking a location on the ground. Only the area around the player and other monsters is fully lit.
Monsters in the caves will chase you and attack you if they see you.
Pick up loot on the way and manage your inventory to become more powerful
Open your inventory with the i key. Doing so over a dropped item will allow you to pick it up.
There is a weight restriction on the inventory that depends on strength, and only allows you to carry a certain amount.
Equip and unequip items, and use potions during combat or exploration.
A character levels up as they progress and kill monsters, making them more powerful.
Combat is a simple turn-based system between the player and a monster. Each takes a turn picking an action, whether to attack, flee or use a potion.
Fleeing combat will make the player run towards the entrance to the level, while an enemy will run towards the exit.
Note, there is a bug somewhere in the combat code that will crash the game upon winning combat. It is quite rare however, so have fun.
The player's character dies if their health points reach 0. At this point they will be taken to the results screen, which displays some stats about their run:
- Player score
- Character level
- Depth reached
- Characteristics
- Attack
- Defence
