Project 002: ShadowDungeon

Java • OOP • 2D Game • Coursework (Individual)

Overview

A Java-based 2D dungeon game developed as an individual coursework project. The focus was implementing required gameplay systems correctly and consistently (rooms, enemies, interactions, UI messages, restart flow, etc.).

My Role

Individual project — designed and implemented all game logic
