Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here on Java-Gaming.org. I would like to present a game I developed this semester as a project for an artificial intelligence class: Wumplus World!

Wumplus World is a variation of a simple dungeon-crawler game called Hunt the Wumpus. The hero must explore a dark cave to try to find the gold hidden within. However, the the cave is also filled with pits and it is home to the smelly, ill-tempered Wumpus who wants to eat the hero! The cave is also home to the Wumpus's friendlier cousin, the Supmuw! The hero's goal is to find the gold, not die, and escape back to the entrance of the cave.

Further instructions are included in-game. The user can choose to either play the game in human-controlled mode, or watch the game's artificial intelligence agent to try to navigate the cave.

That's strange. I'm not experiencing any lag or jumpy sounds at all.

My computer isn't very powerful but I can play with Starcraft 2 without any problems for example. I will look at your source code. Do you plan to use something easier to install your game?

Maybe use Paul Lamb Sound Library with its JavaSound plug-in instead of your own classes.

At first, the shortcut does not work on Linux, I had to run the game in command line. If you target a larger audience (not only programmers), you should use something easier to run your game. It would be fine if the game was able to find the files containing the maps without any manipulation. I admit that it is not too difficult to install but someone with no technical background won't look for the files containing the maps. Do you see what I mean?

Thankyou for including a screenshot.

It seems to be a nice game, that is why I think it deserves something better than a ZIP. You did the biggest part of the job. If you put the default maps into the JAR, I can write a JNLP file for you. I'm a bit tough but I'm here to help people.
