My aims for this project are to improve on my sprite animations, character design and programming. I want to make a puzzle game with some RPG features.

A puzzle is a way that people challenge their intelligence which has become quite popular for leisure instead of a test or challenge
The origin of puzzle games is the 'Stomachion', which is the oldest maths puzzle created by a "Greek mathematician Archimeds who was born around 287BC". The puzzle is made up of many shapes that had to be assembled into a frame with all shapes present and no gaps. (http://www.mathscareers.org.uk/article/the-stomachion-the-worlds-oldest-maths-puzzle/).

A RPG or a role playing game is a game where the player plays as a character with importance in the overall story. The player will go on a adventure completing tasks, solving problems and fighting monsters or opponents.
The origin of the RPG comes from the famous and widely popular 'Dungeons and Dragons' or 'D & D'. D & D is the typical RPG where a group of players go on an adventure told by the Dungeon Master. Players complete quests and fight monsters however  D & D is very heavily chance based, which my game will not.(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_role-playing_games).
