What is Nestria?

Nestria is a video game I designed while coming up with a topic for my databases project. Some of the key parts of Nestria is, like a video game, it has characters (Knights, Vikings, Creatures), weapons, shields, different sceneries and a soundtrack.

This project is Java application created for my Databases class. Java, JavaFX, and SQLite were the main factors in designing this program to allow users to interact with the Nestria Database.

Features

Some features of this program are you can enter the arena (attack other creatures), add a knight or viking, heal creatures and players, and view information allocated in the Nestria database.

Enter the Arena

Enter the Arena and you (the player) will battle with various creatures. You have three options:

• ATTACK - Attack the Creature, however your player is vulnerable and takes damage as well.

• DEFEND - Defend yourself from the creature’s attack depending on your player’s defense.

• RUN - Return back to safety (Main Menu)
