Simple Game for Simple People

  1. A scene type
  • A scene contains objects, characters, paths to new scenes, descriptions etc.
  • Scenes can be serialized and deserialized (see point 2)
  • Scenes are serialized when left and deserialized when entered
  1. Serialization
  • Create serializable and deserializable objects
  • Allows for someone to resume the game after quitting
  • Allows for us to use the de/serializing to go into and out of scenes.
    • Ex: Check if file exists, if not, new scene, start from scratch.
  • We will use an abstract serializer for each class
    • Ex: serialize(std::cout, Gun());
  • Possible implementation:
    • Have an abstract Serializable like the following: b. Integrates with the standard library.
      • disadvantages a. a serializer needs to be implemented for every type (except types like std::string, int, float, etc. since the standard library implements those for you)
  1. Argument parser
  • provides an easy way to extract meaning from text
  • Split on words to allow for text that has extra whitespace in it (e.g. " hi there").
  • Uses approximate string matching to detect typos and notify the user (e.g. "I don't know that command. Did you mean ...").
