Item 2

1. Coding Constructs

   • IF statements
     • IF statements check if a condition is true to choose if the instructions will be run.
   • FOR loops
     • FOR loops complete instructions for a set amount of times.
   • Variables
     • Variables are names that are used to store values
   • Arrays
     • Arrays is a type of varaible that is able to store many values.

2. Prescribed Criteria

   • Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
     • Create a story for the game
     • Create a variable for the inventory.
     • Create variables about the character
   • You must use a WHILE loop
     • Use a while loop to create boss fights.
   • You must have at least two choices for each input (IE. Yes | No, Left | Right, Buy | Sell)
     • Yes and no will be added for input
     • Attack and heal will be added for input.
   • You must use variables that match your storyline
     • Use variables that match your storyline

3. Algorithm Constructs

   • Modularisation
     • Modularisation is breaking down a complex system into smaller parts to make it easier to use.
   • Sequence
     • Sequence is the order of which the code should be followed.
       • For example the first line of the code will be completed before the second line of code.
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is repeating a set of actions.
       • For example, FOR loops use iteration to repeat instructions.
   • Assignment
     • Assigment is storing a value in a variable.
       • For example, for an inventory, you can use this to store what items are in the inventory.
   • Selection and Condition
     • Selection and condition uses a condition to choose which set of instructions to follow
       • For example, WHILE loops use this to see when to do the loop.

4. Ideas for Story

   • Add an inventory
   • Add a bossfight
   • Add a health system
   • Escape the dungeon

5. Self-Determined Criteria

   • Your story must have at least 2 different bosses.
     • Create different endings for one of the bosses
     • Must allow for multiple inputs.
     • Both bosses must have ASCII art

6. Existing Text-Based Games

   • Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
     • This game is where you have to interact with the environment to try to solve different puzzles
       • The hard puzzles makes this a fun challenge for a lot of people.
       • Can be hard for most people and it is limited to a specific set of words.
