CPPQT-Practice-MazeGame

Prerequisites

• Read chapters 01-02 of CPPQT Roadmap Book: https://pllug.gitlab.io/cppqt/cppqt-roadmap-book
• Installed MSYS2_Commander: https://github.com/PLLUG/CPPQT-MSYS2-Cmder/releases/download/2019-11/MSYS2_Commander-2019-11.7z
• In MSYS2_Commander install-dev-env and install-qt5-env commands are done.

Part 1: Preparing for work

1. Run QtCreator.
2. Clone repository, add maze sources, create and open project for maze sources, compile and run.
3. Install mingw-w64-x86_64-pdcurses library.
4. Link pdcurses library, link aditional libraries for practice (libs\libmazify.a, libs\libcurses-helper-utils).
5. Draw map using pdcurses lib.
6. Forming teams, assigning tasks.

Part2: Tasks

Add random maze walls generation

• clone git repo
• create branch random-walls-generation using command git checkout -b random-walls-generation
• use ready part from homework or use void mazify(std::array<std::array<char, mazeColumns>, mazeRows> &maze, int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2); where maze is reference to game field where walls should be generated, x1 and x2 minimum and maximum row, y1 and y2 minimum and maximum column used to place maze walls in between.
• include mazify.h header to use mazify() function, if needed
• place call to function that generate random walls in appropriate place
• commit your changes to git
• push your branch to remote using git push -u origin random-walls-generation

Add key to gameplay

• clone git repo
• create branch key-to-exit using command git checkout -b key-to-exit
• add call to placeCharRandomly() function from random-utils.h to place a key on a map
• create variable that indicate that key was found by player
• make exit end the game only if key was found, otherwise exit should behave like a wall
• commit your changes to git
• push your branch to remote using git push -u origin key-to-exit

Use different symbol for each game element

• clone git repo
• create branch map-decoration using command git checkout -b map-decoration
• Define new colorful symbol by printing symbol | COLOR_PAIR(color) for each value on the game map, for example ACS_DIAMOND | COLOR_PAIR(7). Use following table (where symbol should not be changed - is placed)

value	symbol	color
empty	-	1
wall	ACS_BLOCK	8
character	-	3
exit	ACS_PI	6
key	-	4
score1	ACS_DIAMOND	5
score2	ACS_DIAMOND	7
score3	ACS_DIAMOND	8

• commit your changes to git
• push your branch to remote using git push -u origin map-decoration

Add scores for character moves

• clone git repo
• create branch game-scores using command git checkout -b game-scores
• create variable that will store scores
• add call to placeCharRandomly() function from random-utils.h to place scores on a map. Count of score items: score1 - 25 items on a map, score2 - 10 items on a map, score3 - 3 items on a map
• decrease scores value by 1, on each character move
• increase scores value when character takes score item: score1 +10, score2 +25, score3 +50
• commit your changes to git
• push your branch to remote using git push -u origin game-scores

Draw info how to move character

• clone git repo
• create branch game-info using command git checkout -b game-info
• create a function that prints scores value and status for key, use function printStringToTerminalWindow() from curses-helper-utils.h, use color as a third parameter COLOR_PAIR(33) for label, COLOR_PAIR(39) for value
• to convert scores from integer to string, use std::to_string() function that takes integer as a parameter and returns string
• display YES or NO for key status
• commit your changes to git
• push your branch to remote using git push -u origin game-info

Create function that prints information about controls and message, when user wins

• clone git repo
• create branch game-messages using command git checkout -b game-messages
• create a function that prints information about controls, use function printStringToTerminalWindow() from curses-helper-utils.h, use color as a third parameter COLOR_PAIR(57) for key, COLOR_PAIR(16) for description
• use following information: L LEFT, R RIGHT, U UP, D DOWN
• print message CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WIN! in the center of the screen, after user wins the game, use COLOR_PAIR(39) for color. Message should be displayed and game should not exit until user press a key.
• commit your changes to git
• push your branch to remote using git push -u origin game-messages

Part 3: Put all together

1. Discussing each implementation, merging changes
2. Discussion of workshop, what goes well and what is not
