Target is a multiplayer 2D hack-and-slash kind of game, created by 1st semester students of the Informatics Center, at the Federal University of Pernambuco (Centro de Informatica - CIn - UFPE), as a final project of the course Introduction to Programming.
All players must be connected in a LAN and using a Linux-based OS. To open the server, which is going to host the game, just double- click the Target Server file, located in the main directory.
After the server is opened, it's just about connecting to it, using the game's client (Target Client). Users must get the host's IP Address (who can get it by entering "ifconfig" in the Terminal and connect using the game's menus.
If the connection, for any reason, is unsuccesful, the player will be properly notified in-game.
As soon as the player is connected, he'll be taken to the Team Selection lobby. He can choose between two teams - blue and red - and when the choice is made, press "ENTER" to confirm it. Your ready status will be confirmed when a small character appear just beside your nickname. Take a good look and memorize who you are, because that's the character you're gonna play with.
When the game begins, both teams will have one player marked as the Target. The main objective is to kill the enemy's team target before they kill yours, being the winner the first one to do so. The team members can see which one of them is the Target by looking above the health hearts, located on the upper-left side of the screen.
There are three classes: the Warrior, the Magician and the Archer.
Warriors are melee combat players, whose attacks strike an area of 3 squares in front of the player, dealing 8 damage.
The Magician is a ranged combat class. Its attacks are fast and powerful, however, they stop as soon as they find an object or player. It deals 6 damage.
The Archer, like the Magician, has ranged attacks. They deal 8 damage and have the ability to penetrate through targets, only stopping when an object or rock is hit. Despite it being strong, archers can only shoot an arrow at a time. When a arrow is shot, the player can only shoot another when the previous one is dismissed (hitting objects/rocks). That being said, playing as an archer requires strategy and cold-bloodedness.
