Clue

Description

Step into a thrilling text adventure game, clue, set on a 3 x 3 gameboard. Use your wits and deductive abilities to uncover the secrets behind a mysterious murder. Rumors suggest that Anan has been murdered, with Jeff suspecting that Matt may have strangled Anan with a rope in the study room. Navigate through rooms, investigate weapons, and interact with characters: Anan, Jeff, Matt, Eric, and Adam, to unveil the truth.

Implementation Overview

• Gameboard Configuration:

  • Created using a 2D array with malloc, making each room a pointer.
  • Each room is a pointer containing:
    • Pointers to adjacent rooms (North, South, East, West).
    • Name of the NPC.
    • LinkedList storing items in the room (at the start, each room contains at most one item).
    • 4 pointers per room, 36 pointers in total.
  • LinkedList for items is implemented with pointers; the next item in the list is another item pointer.
  • The avatar's information, including its location and inventory, is stored in a struct called Avatar.

• Memory Management:

  • After the program concludes, memory allocated for the board, avatar's current room, inventory, and name are deallocated.
  • Memory of nodes removed from a LinkedList is also deallocated.
  • Includes edge-case handling for invalid user inputs.

• Requirements Satisfied:

  1. Game has 9 rooms, including the starting room, connected via pointers.
  2. Rooms are randomly initialized on the game board at the start.
  3. Game features at least 6 items and 5 characters apart from the player's avatar.
  4. A room, an item, and a character are randomly chosen as the game's answer.
  5. Each room has a LinkedList of items.
  6. The avatar has an inventory.
  7. Command table (all commands are in adventure.c within the main function):
     • help, list, look, go, take, drop, inventory, clue (with sub-actions detailed under clue).

Compilation

To compile and run the program:
