encounter-gen-rs

Generates a DnD-like monster encounter from a provided set of monsters and their stats based on the capability or level of a party.

This was created throughout a number of exercises as part of CMPT 470 Winter 2021 Term.

Usage

The following can be used to build and compile the exercises:

Compile & Run

In the ./ directory of the exercise, use following to build the program:

cargo build

Then use:

cargo run --bin $TASK $FILE

or

./target/debug/$TASK $FILE

Where $FILE is the name/path of a monster db file, and $TASK is one of the following:

• task1a -- single iteration, allows repeats of monsters
• task1b -- single iteration, does not allow repeats of monsters
• task2a -- multiple encounters, allows repeats of monsters
• task2b -- multiple encounters, does not allow repeats of monsters
• task3 -- the same as task2a; all tasks now use the Encounter struct.

Example Usage:

./target/debug/task1a monsters.txt

will run the task 1a binary using the roster from the file monsters.txt.

Input Format

Monsters must have the following information and stats associated with them:

Name	Initiative	Armour	Attack	Challenge Rating
example_1	-1	17	9	10
example_2	2	15	4	1

The Input file for the monsters should be a plain text file with each field delineated by a space, ' ' character, like such:

monster_1 -1 17 9 10
monster_2 2 15 4 1
