Starstruck

• Starstruck is a game that I first built in C++ when I was in 8th grade as part of a project for my english class (of all things).

  • It became pretty good for what I had known at the time, and I was happy with how it turned out, but it could have had more.

• This is a re-envisioning of that game but in Rust. Hopefully with some new features, as well.

Building

Starstruck requires installing Rust to build and run, found here: https://www.rust-lang.org/.

Starstruck can be built and run with the following commands.

cargo build
cargo run

TODO:

• Add status effects that deal damage over time (or heal over time)

  • Keep it simple for now, maybe scale it with the player's level later.
  • Added, but maybe add healing over time

• Do a uniqueness check before adding a status (so two of the same status can't exist)

  • Unless they should?

• Maybe implement some sort of rock-paper-scissors system?

  • Defending beats physical attack
  • Physical attack beats Magic attack
  • Magic attack beats defending

• Defending

  • Can currently defend without taking up a turn. This needs to be fixed, but it's kinda fun.

TUI TODO:

• Would be awesome to have EarthBound-like backgrounds in the TUI.
