Extensions Ideas¶

Now that you have finished Deepest Dungeon, it’s time to start making it yours but extending it. Below are some suggestions for extra features you could add to your dungeon.

The Dungeon¶

There are heaps of different ways you can extend your dungeon:

add additional rooms
add more directions to travel (eg. up or down)
add rooms with locked doors

The Characters¶

You can add extra features to the characters:

have more than one conversation script (try randomly choosing from a list of conversations)
make extra character types (there are more than just friend and enemies)

The player¶

Now that you have a player class you could easily add more attributes. For example:

give the player money so they can buy items
allow for equipping of weapons or armour

The fight¶

At the moment the fight is very swift. You could make it more interesting by:

have player and enemy health that gets lowered whilst fighting
have different items cause different damage
each character has different loss messages.

The UI¶

Text-based games can look quite plain. There are some tools that you use to make the terminal looks more exciting.

Be warned that these options are challenging.
