v2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 is a major upgrade for the project, introducing a full 2D battle experience built with Java Swing.

This release transforms the game from a text-driven combat system into a far more visual and interactive arena, with animated fighters, battlefield backgrounds, dynamic health bars, floating combat text, and a structured command interface. Players can now navigate actions more intuitively through keyboard and mouse interactions, making battles easier to follow and more engaging to play.

Highlights

• Introduced a 2D arena gameplay upgrade
• Added animated sprites and environmental backgrounds
• Implemented dynamic HP bars and floating combat text
• Added a more polished command menu and targeting flow
• Improved battle readability with an animation/narration pacing system
• Strengthened GUI architecture with an MVC-inspired design
• Refactored rendering to better support extensibility for new fighter types

Under the Hood

This release also improves the internal design of the graphical interface:

• Clearer separation of responsibilities across controller, model, and view components
• Better decoupling between the Swing UI and the domain battle engine
• Renderer-based structure that supports future visual expansion without changing core arena drawing logic
• DTO-based sprite metadata to prevent UI concerns from leaking into domain logic

Documentation

• Revised diagram legend in plantuml_class_diagram.puml

This is the biggest presentation and gameplay upgrade so far, laying the foundation for richer combat visuals and cleaner future extensions.
