Merchant Ship Game Project

Undertaken in my first year of my degree, this game is simple, you are a merchant ship ("M" icon) amongst a sea full of pirates ("P" icon) and rocks ("*" icon). You navigate around the map by specifying the direction you want to head ("N/E/S/W"). If you become adjacent to either a pirate or rocks the ships crashes and the game is over. The goal is to try and persuade the pirates to crash into rocks. This program was tricky to develop as I had to become very familiar with arrays and how I could make the ships navigate the array without breaking the game. It was also difficult to try and implement the rules of the game as this was the first game that I had developed meaning I was un aware of how to develop a game correctly.

Languages used during the development of this project:
