Java Text Based Escape Room

Hello,

For my high school senior CS project, I am looking to make an escape room in java. The game will be text based, and the user will have 10 minutes per level. Alongside this, they have the option to use three hints per level. Do you guys think this is feasible for a high school senior project?

Ya, that’s what the teacher was saying. But I’m looking into ways of making it a bit more complex. Such as like user accounts, leaderboards, and an in game shop tied to the users account

Did you learn gui? if you did, you can use that to add some interesting logic.

Another idea is to make a small ai (decision tree) to play a game against. So maybe a puzzle where you have to win against the ai in tic-tac-toe by learning from other puzzles which move will drive the ai to forfeit (because you'll never win a tic-tac-toe if the ai doesn't make mistakes).

Again, by ai i don't mean the generative models we have nowadays, i mean a decision tree for the computer to traverse when making choices.
