ASCII Map editor and game §

Concept §

Editor §

graph LR
a[ascii]--java-->b[encoded game]

  o
    o
      o  o o
       o o

• o = coin
• ./game upload file.txt

Game §

graph LR
a[encoded game]--java-->b[ascii]

• Player can move left, right, and falls constantly

• Renders line of player-1 and ~5 lines more

• ./game play name

• ./game list

Tables §

• Maps(name)

Encoding §

What needs to be stored? §

• x and y values of coins

How to read it? §

• y=line number
• x=char number

How to store it? §

• Coin(x, y, map)

Decoding §

• for every line, if SELECT * FROM Coin WHERE map=? AND y=? yields a result, print o at Coin.x.
• Alternatively, cache coins SELECT * FROM Coin WHERE map=?.

Game §

Event loop §

• Every tick, call render, clearing the screen and printing the new frame

Render §

• Keep track of player’s x and y position in memory
• First rendered line is reserved for player, python: " " * x-1 + "V"
• print lines $[y+1;y+5]$ similarly to player line

Logic §

• if exists coin with position equals player position, increment score
• Only print score to keep it simple
• every tick, increase player’s y position

ASCII Place §

• Players can replace a character every 10 seconds
• 100x100 canvas
• History is stored in db as well

UX §

• up/right/left/down controls, cursor is indicated by (blinking?) #
• screen is refreshed continuously
• press character key to insert
