Find Your Hat interactive terminal game

Coded in JavaScript for Codecademy Challenge Project: Find Your Hat.

Object of the game

"The scenario is that the player has lost their hat in a field full of holes, and they must navigate back to it without falling down one of the holes or stepping outside of the field."

How to play

The player starts in the upper left corner and navigates left, right, up, or down by pressing the l, r, u, or d keys and then ENTER. The player's path is marked by *. The hat is marked by ^. Holes are marked by O.

The game will end when the player finds the hat, falls in a hole, or falls off the field. You can also quit with CTRL+C.

Setup

1. Clone the repository to your computer.
2. Make sure you have node.js and NPM installed.
3. To install the prompt-sync Node module, run npm install prompt-sync.
4. Use your terminal to navigate to the repository folder.
5. Run node main.js

Randomized field

The field is randomized each time main.js is run, so it's possible that there is no way to find your hat. You can change the height, width, and percentage of holes of the field by changing the numbers in randomField = Field.generateField(10, 10, 25); on line 97. The first number is the height, the second number is the width, and the last number is the percentage of holes.
