       • Fustrating
   • AI Dungeon
     • Strengths
       • Modernized look
       • Can pick any choice you want, no set choices
       • Many possible outcomes, keeping the game fresh
     • Weaknesses

2. Prescribed Criterea

   • Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
     • Make sure the variables are interactive
     • Include ‘choice’ statements
     • Include a ‘Shop”
   • You must have at least two choices for each input (IE. Yes | No, Left | Right, Buy | Sell)
     • Make sure each choice makes the game different
     • Include two contrasting decisions
     • The choices functions and has a corresponding reaction to the choice
   • You must use a WHILE loop
     • Make sure the WHILE Loop functions
     • Make sure it repeats a part of the code that is relevant
     • Include the loop to handle repeats of parts of the game or input validations
   • You must use variables that match your storyline
   • Include colours into the game
     • Add colour to background
     • Add colour to the text
     • Add images with colour

3. Coding Constructs

   • FOR LOOPS
     • a control flow statement used to iterate over a sequence
       • filtering lists and sequences
   • IF Statements
     • a fundemental programming tool that lets a computer make decisions and run specific code only when a given condition is true
       • true or false, yes or no

4. Algorithm Constucts

   • Iteration
     • the process of repeatedly accessing elements from a collection (an iterable) one at a time
       • looping, repeating
   • Selection & Condition
     • control flow structures that allow a program to make decisions
       • if, elseif
   • Assignment
     • binds a value or the result of an expression to a variable name using the equals sign
       • =...
   • Sequence
     • an ordered collection of objects where each item has a specific integer position or index
       • list, string

5. Ideas for Story

   • Score Counter
     • As the player makes the right choices, their score goes up, different decicions means more or less points
   • Save the Princess from the tower
     • The player makes many decisions that influence the game significantly, allowing them to beat save the princess and defeat the monster or not suceed
