Meong : The mAWlink

After seeing Jewel Quest game, you are interested to create a simple game but in different genre
with different language. The language you will use is Java because you want to polish your skill in Java
programming language. Meong the Mawlink is an interactive fictional game that is similar to other game
with the same genre such as Zork and Collosal Adventure Game.
In the story, the main character is a genius cat, named Meong, who can do all things that human can
do. The cat become bored and want to steal some treasure that his owner has. The objective of the game is
to steal two treasures that his owner has. Meong is failed when he used all his turn and still didn’t collect
the two treasures because the owner will be back, and he cannot steal anything anymore.
First, the program will load ‘[Link]’ and ‘[Link]’ to initialize the game component. To create the
game, you need two main components which are item and room.
➢ Item
To support a very detailed game, we need to store a lot of data. Below is the table about data that
will be stored and its description.
Detail Description
Name The item’s name.
Description The item’s brief description.
Location The item’s room location.
Indicates whether the player can take the item or not. True if the item is
Portable
portable and false is the item is not portable.
Indicates whether the item can contain another item or not. The value can be
Container
0, -1 or container name. 0 indicates that the item is a container and -1 indicates

 the item is not in any container. If the value is a container name. Then the item
is contained by the described container.
Specify whether there is a required item to examine this item. -1 indicates that
Required the item is not require anything to examine and a string indicates the item that
required to examine this item.
Specify whether the item is a treasure to be found or not. True if the item is a
Treasure
treasure, False if the item is not a treasure.

Note that you can add your own item’s detail. The item’s data is stored in a file named “[Link]”.
The data in [Link] will be written in format below.
Name;Description;Location;Portable;Container;Required;Treasure

➢ Rooms
Room’s data only consist of the room name and room description. The room’s data is stored in a
file named “[Link]”. The data in [Link] will be written in format below.
RoomName;RoomDescription

Before the player can play the game, the program must generate the map first. The map consists
of six room:
➢ Bedroom A
➢ Bedroom B
➢ Kitchen
➢ Living Room
➢ Storage Room
The location of the room is random, but Bedroom A will always be the initial room where the
game begun. Also, the room must be connected to other room logically. For example, if in the east of
bedroom A there is bedroom B, in the south of bedroom B is the kitchen, and finally in the west of
kitchen is storage room. Logically, we must connect bedroom A and storage room, the storage room
is in the south of bedroom A.

 1. Play Game
When the game start, program will display the current room the player in, and the bot will
describe the room plus the room navigation. Meong has 15 turns to accomplish the mission. The
program will also display the turn Meong has left. The bot will prompt player to type the command
until the state of the game is lose or win.
Because you want to create this game as a console game, you cannot use GUI to do an action
related in the game. That’s why all action would be done in a command. To help user with the
command, you want to create a simple bot with AI that will help user through the game. The
command used for the game will be described below.
➢ Take
The player will use the verb ‘take’ to get an item and store it in Meong’s inventory.
• The ‘take’ verb must be paired with other word.

• The paired word is an item that exists.

• You cannot take more item when the inventory is full. Maximum inventory capacity is 4
items.

 ➢ Suggestion
After designing the game, you want to improve the ability of your bot. Therefore, you
want to add feature that will help user to play the game. The feature is a word suggestor,
suppose that you type a wrong word “boook”, the bot will suggest you several word that
simmilar to the word inputted based on the words in the dictionary. For example, in our
dictionary there is a word “book,” “bookshelf,” and “dragon”. Based on similiarity, the book and
bookshelf will be recommended to the player and the word “dragon” will not be recommended
to the player. This feature will be applied to all input that related to in-game item in the play
game menu.
You have to sort the list using merge sort based on the word similarity. To determine
which word more similar to another word, you may want to play the game and find “Book” item
and read the description for a hint in making this feature. In this case, “book” is more similar to
“boook” than “bookshelf”.

2. Design Game
To make the game more dynamic, the user will have a privilege to design his/her own game.
In this menu, player will have three privileges, that is to add, update, and remove item from the
game. When player choose this menu, the player will be prompt to input which room he/she want to
modify. Player can redo this action by choosing the sixth menu, back.

After the player choose the room, the bot will ask player whether he/she want to add, update, or
remove item in the room. When player is not input a correct string, the bot will prompt it again.
