GymLife

Project Description

GymLife is a video game that simulates the lifestyle and challenges of a bodybuilder. The primary goal is to maximize muscle mass across different groups (legs, chest, back) while managing critical life stats.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Stat Balancing: Manage Stamina, Humor, and Muscle Mass.
• Resource Management: Earn money via minigames to afford food and gym access.
• Training System: Diverse workout routines targeting specific muscle groups.
• Inventory: Store and manage food and supplements.

Academic Background

This project was developed for the Object-Oriented Programming course at the University of Bologna. It was a collaborative effort, focusing on clean architecture and robust game logic.

Development Logic

• MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture
• Extensive JUnit testing for game balance
• Gradle for dependency and build management

Key Features

Beyond the core simulation, GymLife includes several interactive elements to keep players engaged:

• Action-based minigames for income
• Varied gym equipment with unique mechanics
• Progressive difficulty and goal tracking
