Winner of Best Game at the 2022 University of Queensland Computing Society Hackathon
Command Line and Conquer was originally envisioned as a version of age of empires that can be played from the terminal. However, none of the development team had played age of empires in a few years and thus as a consequence of our foggy memories Command Line and Conquer quickly diverged from its source material and became the fast-paced actions-per-minute rewarding game that it is today.

The game can be played by cloning this repository
git clone https://github.com/antdon/TAOEAnd running the run.py file
./run.pyThe player interacts with the game entirely through text input. Commands were made to emulate the feel of interacting with a bash command line so the basic structure is
(unit||Structure)/(command) [args]
Commands do not stack! If a unit or structure has not finished executing a command before you give it its next command it will interrupt the command it is executing in order to complete the new command. Below is a list of commands currently implemented
All Units and structures can be accessed either through their name i.e villager or by their name followed by their index i.e villager4. The former will assume the index of 0.
villager0/gather (food | stone | gold | wood)
villager0/build (barracks | mill | lumbercamp | mine) y x
villager0/move y x
All soldier type units have the same commands associated with them
soldier0/attack (villager | soldier | archer | cavalry)
soldier0/move y x
townhall0/create villager
barracks0/create (soldier | archer | cavalry)
Resource structures do not have any commands associated with them. When a villager collects a resource they normally need to return to the townhall in order for that resource to be added to the players inventory. Resource structures allow for a specific resource to be returned to the resource structure instead. Below is a list of resource structures and their associated resource
- mill - food
- lumbercamp - wood
- mine - Gold or Stone
