Basic-Reb0rn 4 (Postmortem)

Final thoughts 

So the game is completed and i don't intend on adding anything else since its already been marked. I wasn't very happy with what i had in the end, the only extra i added was the inventory system and (in my opinion) a better ending than the original. I was happy with both of these features but i wanted more. 

If i were to start from scratch i wouldnt hard code as much as i did, could have used Enums or Switch cases in places where I only put  very long If statements. I believe the game would have been less buggy if that was the case. I also would have added images, maybe one for each room, though im no artists the picture would have to be done by someone else or sourced online. I also would add the mini-map to show the player where on a grid of 64 boxes they where. Maybe even add some animations for the bats and ghosts, but again i'm no artists. Another thing was the way i handled inputs. Although i had a good reason to simplify the controls from the original, i believe the game dosen't really feel good with modern control schemes.   So i think i would have kept the "Text typing" input system but made it so that only the first two letter of the word are required to complete the input. This would mean that if someone spelt an input word wrong there would still be a chance that the program would do what they were intending it to do. 

I think if i really were to do this again i would move it out of the "Text based" genre it currently exists and maybe make a 2D dungeon crawler with lots of assets, animations and sounds.
