adventure-game-framework
========================

[](#adventure-game-framework)

A PHP framework for console text adventure games.

Build and play games that use text commands such as:

```
> go north

> look inside the chest

> take key from chest

> unlock the cellar door

> turn flashlight on

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run `composer install` from the project directory.

Unit Tests
----------

[](#unit-tests)

A suite of PHPUnit tests is located in the [test directory](test).

Run the unit tests: `composer test`

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

The [Game Execution](docs/Game%20Execution.png) diagram shows how the framework components interact during a game run. The example game's [main.php](examples/demo-game/main.php) demonstrates how a game can be set up and run.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Demo Game

[](#demo-game)

The [examples directory](examples/demo-game) contains a game that demonstrates the framework abilities. Run the game on the command line using:

`composer example`

In the same directory is a [diagram](examples/demo-game/docs/Example%20Game%20Map.png) showing the layout of the demo game.

### Automated Testing

[](#automated-testing)

A test client can be used to run automated tests.

Run the example:

`composer example-test`

The test client will play the game by running each of the test cases in the provided order. The client reports any errors, halting game execution. See [test.php](examples/demo-game/test.php) for more details.

Optionally specify the number of milliseconds to wait between each test, for example: `composer example-test 100` to wait 100 milliseconds between each test. The default wait value is 1000 milliseconds.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Basic Logging - errors, warnings, etc.
- Stats tracking - number of moves, number of visits to location, number of item uses, etc.
- Improve save/load system to allow for multiple files using choice system.
