Map

The Map class manages the configuration and generation of game maps. Maps are represented as arrays of strings, where each character denotes a different game entity such as walls, enemies, pickups, and the player.

Map Configuration

Level Representation

A level is represented as an array of strings, where each character denotes a specific game entity:

• ‘W’: Wall
• ‘E’: Enemy
• ‘A’: Ammo Pickup
• ‘H’: Health Pickup
• ‘S’: Stamina Pickup
• ‘P’: Player

Example Level Configuration

const level1 = [
  'W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W',
  'W       W                             W',
  'W   A   W   S     E             H     W',
  'W   E   W                             W',
  'W       W           E     W W W W W W W',
  'W     W W                             W',
  'W                   E                 W',
  'W         E               S     E     W',
  'W                                     W',

  'W               W W W W W W           W',
  'W   P                     W           W',
  'W                                     W',
  'W         W W W                   E   W',
  'W           W       E                 W',
