Creepy Dungeon
Point and click story game
2023
Project discription
We were going to learn how to use JavaScript and improve our skills in HTML and CSS.
Also learning Tiled (A tilemap making software).
I created a dungeon-exploring game where you have to venture deeper and deeper into the dungeon.
We developed it using Visual Studio Code with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
The project took us 7 weeks, since we needed to learn everything in java.
Project review
I did enjoy seeing the final result of this project, but getting there was a mess.
Once I finally understood JavaScript, things went a bit more smoothly, but it still felt exhausting.
I learned an entirely new programming language and improved my HTML and CSS skills and how to work with Tiled.
Process
Tiled
We started by downloading Tiled and searching for a tilemap that we could use to create a game.
I found a dungeon-themed tilemap that I really liked, so I chose it for my game.
Then, we had to figure out how to use Tiled on our own by watching YouTube videos and other resources.
The coding
One of the goals was learning to use functions, you can activate a function from everywhere in your code
another thing we learned was making text boxes so we could show the player messages and giving the characters personality
last thing was interactivity with objects in the game
