Text-Based RPG in Java ?

Question

heyyo fellow solo learners ! been banging my keyboard to get a simple text based RPG coded in Java ... but I've got one problem ... how to link a Enemy health field to a Player attack method so that it affects the Enemy ? also , some resources for learning more about classes , objects and inheritance would be nice 😋

@ph4
You should be able to fill in the blanks, if you understand getters and setters.

Answer 3

Also in your code you declared health outside of the Player and enemy class.
In the main.
You should remove them.
You only need the private variables for the classes.

Answer 4

here is a sketch of what I would use
(edited)
int attack(int damage){
int currentHealth;
currentHealth = target.getHealth() - damage;
target.setHealth(currentHealth);
}
would need editing to run properly.

Answer 11

@ph4n
The player health and enemy health seem swaped.
the enemy health functions are in the player class.
easy fix

Answer 12

@luka the code is in a really bad shape ... there's nothing in it but my really crazy tries to get these two to link 😵

@Manual ty for the thread 😊

Answer 15

Try posting the code, so it will be easier for you to get help.

Answer 16

@Manual @luka my current code is in a bad shape ... it was a prototype 😅 I'll begin coding it again and upload it in a while ... sorry for the trouble 😊

Answer 17

public class Enemy {
private int health;
public int getHealth() {
return this.health;
}
public int setHealth(int localHealth) {
this.health = localHealth;
}
public int healthDown(int decrement) {
this.health -= decrement;
}
public int displayHealth() {
System.out.println(this.health);
}
}
public class Player {
int PlayerHealth;
int PlayerAttack;
public int attack(int damage) {
Enemy.healthDown(damage);
}
}
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Player player = new Player();
Enemy enemy = new Enemy();
enemy.setHealth(100);
enemy.getHealth();
player.attack(10);
enemy.displayHealth();
}
}
^ my try 😋

Answer 18

@luka yeah , I noticed it ... it remained from when I was experimenting with my code 😂

Answer 19

It will take time,
I will link it when I am able to finish.

Made one from scratch as a refresher,
should help you with your code.
