Retro Heroes

Introduction

Retro Heroes is a turn-based 2-player RPG game written in C++.

Objective

The objective of the game is to defeat the other hero by using one's own abilities.

Features

The game has two modes:

• PvP - you can fight with a player (they use a different set of keys)

• PvE - you can fight with a bot (entity)

Each player starts off with 100 HP, a random color to distinguish him from the other player and three abilities to choose from:

• Attack - the player deals 10 damage to the opponent, but cannot deal any more damage after the opponent reaches 0 HP.

• Heal - the player heals 10 hit points, but cannot heal over the limit of 100 HP

• Special Attack - the player deals 20 damage to the opponent, but cannot deal any more damage after the opponent reaches 0 HP.

Each turn, one player can pick only one ability.

The player wins when the other player reaches 0 HP.
