Challenge Project - Create a Mini Game

C#
1

I have the code and need to implement the following features:

  • Modify the existing Move method to support an optional parameter
  • If enabled, the optional parameter should detect nondirectional key input
  • If nondirectional input is detected, allow the game to terminate
    This is my code of Move() method so far:
void Move() 
{
    int lastX = playerX;
    int lastY = playerY;
    
    switch (Console.ReadKey(true).Key) 
    {
        case ConsoleKey.UpArrow:
            playerY--; 
            break;
		case ConsoleKey.DownArrow: 
            playerY++; 
            break;
		case ConsoleKey.LeftArrow:  
            playerX--; 
            break;
		case ConsoleKey.RightArrow: 
            playerX++; 
            break;
		case ConsoleKey.Escape:     
            shouldExit = true; 
            break;
    }

    // Clear the characters at the previous position
    Console.SetCursorPosition(lastX, lastY);
    for (int i = 0; i < player.Length; i++) 
    {
        Console.Write(" ");
    }

    // Keep player position within the bounds of the Terminal window
    playerX = (playerX < 0) ? 0 : (playerX >= width ? width : playerX);
    playerY = (playerY < 0) ? 0 : (playerY >= height ? height : playerY);

    // Draw the player at the new location
    Console.SetCursorPosition(playerX, playerY);
    Console.Write(player);
}

And this is my main game loop:

while (!shouldExit) 
{
    if (TerminalResized())
    {
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("Console was resized. Program exiting");
    }
    Move();
}

I have already implemented the Terminate On Resize feature, which is:

  • Determine if the terminal was resized before allowing the game to continue
  • Clear the Console and end the game if the terminal was resized
  • Display the following message before ending the program: Console was resized. Program exiting.
