This project is a game engine and game developed for educational purposes, inspired by the mechanics and style of games like Terraria and tower defense genres. The core gameplay revolves around exploring a procedurally generated world, acquiring resources, and constructing defenses to protect against relentless monsters. The longer you survive, the higher your score. The world is created using Perlin noise to ensure a unique experience each time, and the game supports multiplayer functionality. The AI utilizes the A* algorithm for pathfinding, making the enemy behavior more challenging and dynamic.
- Procedurally Generated World: Each playthrough offers a new world layout, thanks to Perlin noise.
- Survival Mechanics: Gather resources and build defenses to survive against monsters.
- Score System: The longer you live, the higher your score.
- Multiplayer Support: Team up with friends to explore and defend.
- Advanced AI: Enemies use A* pathfinding to navigate the world intelligently.
- Java: The primary programming language used.
- libGDX: A powerful library that provides a well-established framework for game development.
- gRPC: A high-performance, open-source universal RPC framework.
- Guice: A lightweight dependency injection framework for Java.
