Python Turn-Based RPG

A turn-based CLI RPG battle system built in Python using object-oriented programming principles and scalable gameplay architecture.

Features

Combat System

• Turn-based battle loop
• Player vs Enemy combat
• Health and stamina system
• Multiple combat actions

Actions

• Attack
• Heal
• Defend
• Stamina Recovery

Gameplay Systems

• Temporary defend state
• Stamina management
• Action-based combat architecture
• Enemy random action selection
• Input validation loop

Architecture & Learning Focus

• Object-oriented design
• Action inheritance system
• Encapsulation of character stats/state
• Engine decomposition and responsibility separation
• Scalable gameplay logic for future expansion

Project Structure

'''text main.py game_engine.py character.py action.py '''

Current Learning Goals

• Build reusable gameplay systems
• Learn game programming principles
• Improve Python OOP architecture
• Create engine-independent combat logic

Planned Improvements

• Smarter enemy AI filtering
• Exit/Quit option
• Possible status effects (poison, burn, stun)
• Possible turn lifecycle system
• Possible save/load system
• Better combat balancing
• Future graphical implementation using Pygame or Panda3D
