# Pixel Arena (Text-Based Game)
This is the repository for Group E4's text-based game for the Activity-Led Learning 2 module at Coventry University. We are making a Pokemon-esque, dungeon-crawler battle game, where the objective is to beat your opponent (another player), using the heroes that you selected before the match started.

## Running the game
On Ubuntu, you will need to have CMake, G++ and Ncurses. They can be installed using the following commands respectively:
```
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
```
Then in the project repository, run the two following two commands:
```
cmake .
cmake --build .
```
This will create an executable inside the newly created `bin` folder. To execute this file, type `bin/main` in the terminal, when in the main project directory.

## Playing the game
Once you run the game using the above commands, you will be greeted by the following screen:

On screens where you see a menu like this, you may navigate around the menu using your keyboard's arrow keys. To select an option, simply hit the Enter key.
