Extension Ideas¶

Now that we've finished Deepest Dungeon, it's time to make it ours by extending it. Below are some ideas for features we could add. To build a completely new program instead, see Developing a New Program.

The dungeon¶

• add more rooms
• add more directions to travel (for example up and down)
• add rooms with locked doors

The characters¶

• give characters more than one line of conversation (try choosing randomly from a list)
• make more character types (there are more than just friends and enemies)
• use a local LLM to create the characters' dialogue (see Character LLM)

The player¶

Once we have a Player class, we can easily add more attributes. For example:

• give the player money so they can buy items
• let the player equip weapons or armour

The fight¶

At the moment, fights are over very quickly. We could make them more interesting by:

• giving the player and enemies health that goes down during a fight
• making different items cause different damage
• giving each character their own losing message

The UI¶

Text-based games can look quite plain. There are libraries that make the terminal look more exciting.

• Rich
• Textual
