Welcome to my Pygame RPG project! This repository contains a simple RPG (Role-Playing Game) developed using Pygame, a set of Python modules designed for writing video games.
This project aims to demonstrate basic game development concepts using Pygame. The game features an exploration mode where the player can move around a map, encountering enemies randomly. Upon encountering an enemy, the game switches to a turn-based battle mode where the player can choose actions such as attacking, using abilities, using items, or fleeing.
- Exploration Mode: Navigate a grid-based map using arrow keys or WASD controls.
- Turn-Based Battle System: Engage in battles with enemies using a turn-based system.
- Player and Enemy Entities: Characters and enemies are represented as entities on the map.
- Health Management: Characters and enemies have health points that decrease as they take damage.
- Battle UI: Displays health bars and battle options during combat.
To run the game on your local machine, follow these steps:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/pygame-rpg.git
-
Navigate to the Project Directory:
cd pygame-rpg -
Install Dependencies: Ensure you have Python and Pygame installed on your system.
-
Run the Game:
python main.py
-
Controls:
- Use arrow keys or WASD to move during exploration.
- Press SPACE to toggle the inventory during exploration.
- Use arrow keys to navigate and ENTER to select options during battles.
- Implement character leveling and progression.
- Add more enemies with varied abilities and behaviors.
- Include more items and abilities for the player to use during battles.

This project was developed by Matthew Meinema as a learning exercise in game development with Pygame.
