A raylib RPG game built on formally verified game logic. Every game rule is specified in Quint, tested via Model-Based Testing (MBT), and implemented in Odin.
Quint Crawl is a turn-based RPG rendered with raylib. Explore a 9x9 world grid (81 zones across 5 difficulty levels), fight enemies, gather resources, craft gear, and level up to conquer the Castle.

The game logic in quint_crawl/ is the single source of truth — shared by both the raylib game and the MBT test harness. Every state transition is formally specified and verified.

Features
World — 9x9 grid, 5 difficulty levels, biome tiling (3x3 pattern repeats across regions), fog of war, HUD minimap, mouse hover tooltips, per-zone weather (Clear/Rain/Fog/Storm) affecting combat/gathering/movement, village waypoints with fast travel, one-time treasure chests with tier-scaled gold rewards.
Combat — turn-based, stamina-gated actions, 3-hit combo chain with damage multipliers, cooldown abilities (heavy strike, battle cry, fortify, counter-attack), status effects (poison, ATK/DEF buffs) with turn-based ticking, enemy respawn timer (5-turn cooldown after a kill), four weapon types (sword / dagger / battery pistol / staff; weapon_type gates combat actions — sword and dagger share blade-combat paths with per-weapon stamina + attack tuning).
Bestiary — data-driven catalog of 200 named enemies across 20 archetypes (4 per tier, 5 tiers), 6 trait tags (Undead/Beast/Elemental/Construct/Humanoid/Aberration), trait-keyed secondary loot drops.
Elemental system — 4-element cycle (Fire > Ice > Lightning > Earth > Fire) with 2x/1x/0.5x damage multipliers.
Companions — data-driven species catalog (Wolf/Hawk/Turtle/Fox/Bear/Owl/Lynx/Sprite) with biome-gated adoption, trait affinities (Attacker/Defender/Scout/Support), rarity tiers (Common/Rare/Legendary), species-specific perks (HP regen / mana regen / stamina vigor / loyalty bond), loyalty-on-combat loop (inactive below LOW_LOYALTY until fed), in-combat command, village training to raise rarity, and a 3-stage companion quest chain. The spec verifies the abstract (trait × rarity) effect space; Odin grows the catalog freely without code changes.
Progression — XP/level-up, skill tree with 3 branches (Offense/Defense/Utility), 1 point per level, respec at village, 3 prerequisite-gated quests (Slime Slayer → Venture Forth → Castle Conqueror) tracked in the HUD, Castle Boss encounter gates the final victory claim.
Items & crafting — resource gathering (wood, iron), level-gated sword crafting (Lv2+, batch-of-3 option), sword durability with village repair, salvage system (upgradeable 1–3), 3-slot weapon enchantment (fire/ice/vampiric/lightning; fire/ice mutually exclusive), venom sac crafting, holy water crafting (holy_dust + wood → out-of-combat full heal), fire scrolls (bypass mana gate), loot drops with pity-counter guarantee, zone-tiered sword rarity drops (Common/Rare/Legendary with ATK scaling), per-tier unique archetype trophies (5 collectible drops that grant a permanent ATK bonus), village recycling (3-for-1 wood/iron/potion conversion), full-screen inventory overlay ([I] to open), inventory capacity (30 items) enforced across gathering/shopping/loot.
Persistence & polish — save/load snapshot with full state round-trip; post-processing effects (zone tint, chromatic aberration, low-HP pulse, level-up bloom, poison overlay).
How MBT works
specs/*.qnt ──[quint run --mbt]──▶ traces/*.itf.json ──[odin test]──▶ pass/fail
│
Odin implementation ◀───┘
(*_mbt/*.odin) replayed against spec expectations
Write a Quint spec — state variables, actions (state transitions), invariants (properties that must always hold)
Generate traces — Quint explores the state space nondeterministically and records execution traces in ITF (Intermediate Trace Format)
Write Odin glue — a step handler (dispatches action names to your code) and a state getter (reads your implementation's state back for comparison)
Replay — the MBT runner walks each trace step, mutates your implementation, and checks that every state variable matches the spec's expectation
The integrated game spec lives at specs/quint_crawl.qnt — 7 record-typed state vars, ~50 actions, ~46 invariants covering HP/gold/level/position/inventory bounds, level gates, skill prerequisites, quest counters, cooldowns, status effects, enchantment slots, companion loyalty, and victory conditions.
Alongside it, specs/{core,combat,items,economy,world,social}/ holds 38 standalone spec modules (rpg, combat, equip, healing, stacking, shop, status, crafting, party, leveling, cooldown, quest, durability, loot, respawn, dynamic_shop, combat_full, capacity_craft, gated_craft, stamina, skill_tree, reputation, summoning, world_grid, elemental, enchantment, trap, companion, salvage, auction, faction, fast_travel, dialogue, fog_of_war, permadeath, bounty, trade) that each verify one subsystem in isolation — useful as unit tests for the underlying mechanics before integration.
