3. Code Constructs

   • IF statements
     • An IF statement is a decision making code construct
       • IF player goes to gym then drink a protein shake
   • FOR loops
     • A piece of code to repeat a certain code a specific number of times
       • Make the man jump 4 times (repeat)

4. Algorithim Constructs

   • Modernisation
     • updating coding langauges/software to improve preformance in the code
       • rewriting old code language into new langauge like java and phython
   • Iteration
     • Repeating block of code
       • Make player jump 3 times (repeat 3 times)
   • Selection and condition

5. Self-Determined Criteria

   • The story should be based what the user persona wants,

6. Prescribed criteria

   • Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
     • Create 10 variables which can be interacted with
     • All variables must be unique
     • Create an interactive story using python
   • You must have at least two choices for each input (IE. Yes | No, Left | Right, Buy | Sell)
     • Story must branch out from 2 different choices
     • The story has 2 choices
   • You must use a WHILE loop
     • implement while loop which handles the game loops or strict input validations
   • You must use variables that match your storyline
     • Using accepted name conventions
     • The variables in the story must relate to the theme of the storyline
       • Example, Using variable names like magic, castle and more for a medieval themed game.
   • Add ASCII art in the game that relate to the theme of the game
     • Images of stadiums, basketball courts to enhance the gaming experience
