Implementation of a minimalistic textual RPG game in Java. The game design follows the Model-View-Controller architecture and allow switching between the console view and GUI view. Hero's stats store in relational database.
You can play game in two different modes:
-console: text (or terminal) mode
-gui: graphical mode

You can create a new hero or continue game with saved heroes. After choosing a hero, the actual game begins. The initial position of the hero is in the center of the map. Each turn he can move one position in one of the 4 four directions:
- North
- East
- South
- West
To move the hero, use Up, Down, Left and Right keys in GUI View or N, E, S and W in Console View.
When a map is generated, villains of varying power will be spread randomly over the map. When a hero moves to a position occupied by a villain, the hero has 2 options:
- Fight, which engages him in a battle with the villain
- Run, which gives him a 50% chance of returning to the previous position. If the odds aren’t on his side, he must fight the villain.
If a hero looses a battle, he loose hit points depends on villain’s power, or he dies and also looses the mission.
If a hero wins a battle, he gains:
- Experience points, based on the villain power. Of course, he will level up if he reaches the next level experience.
- An artifact. Of course, winning a battle doesn’t guarantee that an artifact will be dropped and the quality of the artifact also varies depending on the villain’s strength.
Can you reach Level 6 and win the Game?
