1. Editing text based adventure games

   • 80 Days
     • steampunk interactive novel where players manage resources to race around a text-driven, branching globe.
   • Choice of Robots
     • text-only sci-fi game where your choices shape the morality and long-term impact of your artificial intelligence creations.

2. Ideas for story

   • ice cream simulator
     • the player is a worker at an ice cream blending shop. choose the correct ingredients according to the customers order
   • adventure game
     • the player is a dog who must find food and escape the forest

3. Self determined criteria

   • Game must have peaceful and easy gameplay
     • Simple rules, player can understand quickly through the storyline
     • Game must have a good storyline that connects to the ending

4. Prescribed criteria

   • Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
   • You must have at least two choices for each input
   • You must use a WHILE Loop
   • You must use variables that match your storyline

5. Coding constructs

   • FOR loops
     • FOR loops is a control flow construct used to repeat a block of code a specific number of times, typically when the number of iterations is known in advance.
   • IF statements
     • An IF statement is a fundamental control structure in programming that allows code execution based on whether a specialized condition evaluates to True or False. If the condition is true, a block of code runs. Otherwise, it is skipped or an alterrnative block runs/

6. Algorithm constructs

   • sequence
     • A set of instructions that are processed one after the other
   • assignment
     • Assignment is when value is stored of an expression in a variable
       • If the player chooses to eat the berries, a value is stored in the expression for later.
   • selection and condition
     • A selection statement uses a condition to select which line of the program will be used next
       • The first variables that the player encounters is choosing the left or right path. Each path leads to a different location (mountain/river)
   • iteration
     • Used when something is repeated over and over again, so the program goes round in a loop
   • modularisation
