Hacking Game

[Avlas]

Hello,


I'm currently working on a game set in 1980s where you are a member of a hacker community.
The game's aim is to complete several missions given by the community like hacking servers, stealing files stuff like that. To do this, you will need to buy programmes and hardware, and be careful not to be discovered!
It will be command-line style.


I'd like to know what's your opinion about this game.

A hacking MUD game? I can't imagine how that could be played, but you could try and amaze me I suppose it could be set around a virtual BBS instead of a dungeon?
Idea sounds great, I'd like to see such a game.

I have already written a bit of code, if you want to have a look I can send you the code and you can compile it. It is written in C++, well I'm a noob so it probably is C+-

Your description kinda reminds me of that mini-game with CLI optic in Enter the matrix where the player "hacked" some databases in order to unlock special game contents or cheats. If you don't know what I mean, try searching on YT for old cheat tutorials or Let's Plays on this game, otherwise justvisit some generic cheating com that's old enough to have EtM in their archives.... Maybe you'll get some inspiration.
However, the concept of that thingy wasn't that bad at all but imho EtM's realization sucked a little; anyway there might be potencial.

On which dev stage is your project atm? Did you already code some of the most basic stuff? Or primarily doing brainstorming right now?

EDIT: Yeah, go for it and post what you have already, I'd really like to take a look  and haha @ "C+-"

I have a better idea - set up a github repo.

I have a better idea - set up a github repo.

Depends on what he wrote so far. Like, a new repo for ~50 lines that maybe won't even compile? Meh.
He said "a bit of code". Who knows what that means ^^'

[Avlas]

Yes, I played Enter The Matrix and I remember that minigame.
However, I have already coded the basics to give a shape to the game and let me to understand better how to manage it.
It is already playable but it is still veeery rough. I wrote arround 3000 lines.
I heard of GitHub but I don't know very well how it works, I'll check.
Thanks for your replies.

[x0nic]

if you managed to write 3000 reasonable lines of code, using github won't be a challenge
i'll stay tuned

Man I really hope this turns into something, even if the graphics are shitty, I've always wanted to implement a kind of basic "These are your simple attacks, go execute them" game, sort of like HTS or SO, but in a game setting with prizes.

Kind of a Solo-CTF I guess.

I am also looking forward to this game, once it's on GitHub make sure to share it. It looks promising though, the polishing may come later let's say it's still an Alpha

Thanks to all of you for your replies
I've created a repo in GitHub where you can find the whole code and give it a look.
Unfortunatly, comments and variable names aren't in english, so it will be difficult to read.
However, you can copy the code, compile it, and play.
It should work on Windows, but if it doesen't delete line 3033.

A link?  :3 and thank you, can it be added to Evilzone releases?  Ofc with your approvals and the admins/moderators

Yes a link would be awesome lol

This is the link: https://github.com/Avlas99/Rebirth-HackingGame

Actually, it still very rough and there are more bugs than lines of code, so I think it's too early to put it into the releases

I took a quick look on the code, and read the a bit the storyline seems, fun will compile and play once I have some spare time
