1. algorithm constructs

   • iteration
     • // Example of Iteration (WHILE Loop) counter $\leftarrow$ 1 WHILE counter $\le$ 5 PRINT "Counting: " + counter counter $\leftarrow$ counter + 1 END WHILE
   • sequence
     • PRINT "Please enter your name." - INPUT userName - PRINT "Hello, " + userName + "! Welcome to the system."
   • assignment
     • itemPrice $\leftarrow$ 19.99 - taxRate $\leftarrow$ 0.05 - totalCost $\leftarrow$ itemPrice + (itemPrice * taxRate)
   • selection and conditional
     • // Example of Selection IF userAge $\ge$ 18 THEN PRINT "Access granted. Welcome to the site." ELSE PRINT "Access denied. You are too young." END IF
   • modularisation
     • // Example of Modularisation MODULE calculateTotal (subtotal, tax) return subtotal + tax END MODULE // Calling the module total $\leftarrow$ calculateTotal(50.00, 5.00) PRINT "Your total is $" + total

6. existing text based adventure game

   • forest if lyrica
     • strengths
       • Imaginative Immersion: Relying purely on text forces players to use their own imagination, which can create a deeply personal and highly immersive experience that graphic-heavy games cannot always achieve.
     • weaknesses
       • The "Guess the Verb" Frustration: Players can sometimes get stuck simply because they aren't typing the exact keyword the game expects to trigger an action
   • hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
     • weaknesses
       • Brilliant Writing and Humor: Co-written by Douglas Adams himself, the game’s parser, guide, and narration are loaded with his signature dry wit and sarcasm. The narrator actively jokes at your expense.
     • stregths
       • Infamous Difficulty: It is one of the most unforgiving adventure games ever made. The iconic "Babel fish" puzzle, for instance, is notorious for its sheer cruelty.
