🧙‍♂️ Text-Based RPG Game

A fully playable, terminal-based fantasy RPG built entirely in Python. Explore rooms, battle monsters, cast spells, manage your inventory, and level up your character — all through simple text commands.

This project showcases programming fundamentals including object-oriented design, user input parsing, state management, and file I/O using JSON. It's designed as both a fun game and a portfolio project.

🎮 Features

🗺️ Room-Based World – Explore a dungeon with interconnected rooms
⚔️ Turn-Based Combat – Face off against enemies like goblins, frost golems, and corrupted kings
📜 Spellcasting System – Cast spells using scrolls and mana, including Fireball, Ice Spike, and Heal
🧰 Inventory System – Take, drop, use, examine, and manage your items
💾 Save/Load System – Save and load your game progress using JSON
📈 Level-Up System – Earn XP, level up, and upgrade stats like Strength, Defense, and Mana
💙 Health and Mana Bars – Visual indicators for player and enemy status
🌀 Charged Attacks – Powerful cooldown-based combat option for strategy

🧑‍💻 How to Play

Requirements

Python 3.11+

Run the Game

In-Game Commands

move [direction] # e.g. move north take [item] # pick up an item drop [item] # drop an item use [item] # use consumables like potions examine [item] # inspect an item inventory # view your inventory fight # engage in combat cast [spell] # cast a known spell save # save your game load # load a saved game
