A text based RPG shamelessly inspired by an old doors game. It is ugly, but fun (both the coding and the game).
- Implement a game engine built around easily editable json files, to allow end users to customize their experience in game without a great deal of programming expertise
- Improve my ruby skills, as well as Ana's
- Improve my understanding of ruby idioms, to that end please feel free to ping me if you see ways to make it more "ruby-ish"
- Possibly at some point make it an actual multi-user game, like it used to be in ye olde BBS times... possibly browser based?
For now, installation is as easy as cloning the repository, and running
ruby LotRD.rb
You may (on older versions of ruby I believe) need to install the json gem:
gem install json
