Java Text Adventure Game (CLI/GUI)

Temple of the Last Shards is a 2D text-and-graphics exploration and puzzle game: the player explores a temple, collects six shards, finds the vault key, and takes the crown to win, picking up hidden unlockable items and inventory along the way. The code is split by responsibility into four packages. misc holds the world model — Room, Player, Character and a Parser, in the classic Zork-style shape where each Room links to its neighbours and the Parser turns typed input into commands. Commands holds the command layer itself — Command, CommandType, CommandWords and Direction — which is what keeps "go north" or "take shard" as data the game logic can act on rather than string-matching scattered through the codebase. Items models everything the player can carry as a shared Item type with an ItemType enum, with Book, Crown, Hint, Key and Shard as concrete subclasses — the inheritance and polymorphism the assignment asked for, applied to something the game actually needed. GUI (MainGUI, Linker, plus the map art and stylesheet) is the JavaFX front end, kept separate from all of the above so the interface is a view onto the game state rather than part of it. The Room graph is what needs the Collections work: exits from a room map to the rooms they lead to, and the Parser holds the set of words it recognises to turn free text into a Command. Progress can be saved and reloaded through Java's own object serialisation, and the game ships as a Maven build with a bundled JRE, so playing it is a matter of unzipping and double-clicking the jar rather than having Java installed separately.
