retro-game's Issues

Semi-transparent overlay for submenu

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pausing the game opens the submenu which works fine, but it would look better if the game was darkened so the buttons stand out more. Same with the game over screen.

Describe the solution you'd like
A transparent overlay should be added to the submenu class which renders before the buttons.

World generation revamp

The world is kinda boring in this game. Currently there are only few biomes and they are all plain and simple.

** Tiled map **

I would like to add textured tiles to the world. It would add more variety to the game.
Each tile can have different movement modifiers or other parameters.

** Biome blend **

Tiles near biomes' borders will blend together to make a smooth transition.

** Rivers and water **

** Props **

Different static plants / rocks / etc

Add an option to show the map and ui in the settings

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A player has no way to disable the minimap or the user interface.

Describe the solution you'd like
Few togglable buttons in the settings menu.

Add multithreading

This game runs only on one thread. On older cpu's it can be slow despite small size.

The particle system, gui, game loop, world generation, etc could run on separate threads.

[BUG] - Giant's attack

If player stands near a giant, the rock he throws sometimes doesn't push back the player.

How to recreate

1. Start game.
2. Find a plains biome.
3. Aggro a giant enemy, while being very close.
4. Rock projectile sometimes doesn't affect the player.

[BUG] - changing settings from submenu

Describe the bug
Changing settings while in-game doesn't actually do anything

How to recreate

1. Start the game
2. Press ESC
3. Click the settings button
4. Change options to arrows
5. The player still moves using WASD keys.

Additional Information
OS: Windows 10

A menu should show after pressing ESC to pause the game.

The player has no way to go back to the main menu.

A transparent menu should show with options to resume, change settings or go back to main menu after pressing ESC.

Dark knight ability 3 should drain mana every tick.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Ability 3 - the bat transform is a little over powered, because u can stay as a bat forever.

Describe the solution you'd like
It should drain some mana every second.
If the player doesn't have enough mana, they turn back into human form

Good First Issue - Add an icon to the game

Short Description

After opening the game has the default executable icon.
The icon could be a small pixel art or just a cropped screenshot from the game.
In main.cpp use the setIcon() method on the window object.

Disable exit using X

When pressing X in the top right corner the game should be paused instead of closing immediately.

[BUG] - game crashes after going back to menu and starting again

Describe the bug
Game crashes after going back to menu and starting again
Vector out of range
How to recreate

Step by step guide how to recreate the bug

• Start the game and create a new world
• Go back to main menu
• Start a new game again
• After playing for some time the game crashes
  Additional Information

Add some additional information - OS, Game version etc.

Add documentation

This project has no documentation at all.
If it continues to grow, it needs to have one.

Saving and loading games

The player has no way to save any progress made in the game.
A system should be added that allows the player to pick any save and load it.
For now the save has to contain player's statistics, cooldowns and nearby monsters.

Add inventory system

The player has no way to see their stats except for level.

After pressing some key, an inventory should be visible. It should contain inventory slots and player statistics like hp, damage, attack speed, etc.

quick sketch:

Change name to something cool

Currently this project is called "The Game". I'm bad with creating names so maybe someone else can

Change title of sf::RenderWindow window (in main.cpp line 12) and string of logo (in Menu.cpp line 18) to something cool.

Player's character should face in the direction of the cursor's location.

It looks weird when the player is shooting left but is facing the right direction.
For example if the cursor is on the left side of the screen then the player is facing left and vice versa for the right side.
You get the idea...

Game over screen

When player's hp goes down to 0 nothing happens.

A "game over screen" should appear similar to those in other video games.

Quick sketch:

Fix archer teleport on dash

After using dash ability on archer class, the player almost teleports.

This ability should have a limited range.

[BUG] - world border

There is no problem right now with crossing the world border.

For now an invisible wall should stop the player from doing so.
Also monsters aren't allowed to spawn outside of the world.

Maybe later a more creative implementation of a world border will be added.

How to recreate
Start the game
Go to any world edge
