Python game

Python game

1. Conding Constructs

   • IF loop
     • An if statement is a conditional command that executes a block of code exactly once if a specific condition is true.
       • IF health == 0 THEN OUTPUT "Game Over" EXIT ENDIF
   • WHILE loop
     • A while loop is a programming structure that repeats a block of code over and over as long as a specific condition remains tru
       • WHILE health > 0 OUTPUT "You are alive!" health = health - 1 ENDWHILE OUTPUT "Game Over"

2. Self Determined Criteria

   • Game have to have multiple colour of text
     • The game will have different colour of text depending on character.
     • Game uses the colour Green for text
     • Game uses the colour Purple for text

3. Existing Text Based Adventure Games

   • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
     • a famously difficult 1984 text-based adventure game. It translates the book's signature cosmic comedy into an interactive experience where players use text commands to survive the destruction of Earth and navigate absurd sci-fi puzzles.
       • Strengths this game have includes brilliant writing and creative puzzle designs
       • Weaknesses include sudden deaths: The game frequently kills the player without warning for making logical exploration choices.
   • Colossal Cave Adventure
     • a landmark text-based adventure game, first released in 1976, where players explore a cave system using text commands to find treasure, solve puzzles, and avoid dangers like trolls and pirates
       • Rewarding Exploration: Mapping out the intricate cavern layouts and secret passages provided a deeply satisfying sense of discovery were one of the strengths
       • One of the weaknesses were randomised elements like the sudden appearance of the axe-throwing dwarf, relied on random chance rather than player skill or strategy.

4. Algorithms Constructs

   • sequence
     • A sequence is the specific order in which instructions are executed by a computer, running one after another from top to bottom.
       • Step 1: You type the message.Step 2: You press the "Send" button.Step 3: The app delivers the message to your friend.
   • Assignment
     • storing a specific value inside a variable's memory space. It sets or changes the data that a variable holds.
       • score = 10 is one example. It stores the number 10 inside the variable named score
   • Iteration
     • the process of repeating a sequence of instructions or steps to achieve a specific outcome
       • SET timer TO 5 2: WHILE timer > 0 3: OUTPUT timer + " seconds left!" 4: SET timer TO timer - 1 5: ENDWHILE
   • Selection & Conditions
     • selection is the process of making decisions. It allows your program to choose different paths of code to execute based on whether a specific condition is true or false.
       • Path A (IF True): If you have enough money, the ATM gives you the cash.Path B (ELSE False): If you do not have enough money, the ATM shows an "Insufficient Funds" message.

5. ideas of story

   • Mystery
     • The golden dolphin award is lost help the police form to find it back.

     • Planning vacations with a budget.
       • Player has a specific amount of money at the start of the game and learns how to manage their money throughout the game and travels with a budget.

6. Prescribed Criteria

   • You must have at least two choices for each input (IE. Yes | No)
     • Have one input with 3 choices
     • Two choices must be different
     • Each input must have at least 2 choices for the player. For example: Stay in castle OR Escape.
   • must use variables that match your storyline
     • Variable must match whatever happens in the story / game
     • Variables must be related to the storyline. For example in a story about rescuing ‘Do you want to save them’ or ‘next location choice’
