Text-Based Java Game
<p>I need to make a text-based RPG game with java. The first part of the assignment is super simple. we just use vertical lines and underscores to make a little rectangle and then add symbols inside the rectangle as things move, act, die, etc.</p>

<p>I've never done this before, so I want to run my idea by you:</p>

<p><strong>What do you think about doing something like angry birds but with flying moving targets?</strong> There would be a little "bird tank" at the bottom left of the screen that would shoot birds. Another question: I'm not entirely sure how I would create a gun that shoots at different angles in a text-based format. And how would it work with aiming and shooting and timing, and such?</p>

<h3>Update:</h3>

<p>I think I'm going to try out a tank game. But I'm confused about how to implemenent the angle of the turret.</p>

<p>I would put the tank in the bottom left corner, put I only have text symbols at my disposal. I don't see how its possible to let the user control the turret, and make it move up and down by small amounts (at least, not until we start using images/gui's.)</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>
