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.
        • The golden dolphin trophy was lost and stolen, player has to use their knowledge to arrest the criminal and help the police to find the trophy back.

        • This ufo was giant and player make their decisions on what to do next. At last they found something that was not revealed for several years.
    • Rescueing
      • People were lost, player needs to be the hero and find them back :)
        • Fruit city had fruits going on vacation and after 2 months only some fruits came back. Player becomes the FRUIT HERO and saves the fruit
      • Natural disaster, the city is collapsing TnT
        • Player needs to save the city and they will have to make decision. Their choice will leads them either to victory or losing all their health and end the game.
    • Adventure
      • Travelling around a country / around the world
        • Player can choose where they want to go, exploring places around a country / around the world
      • 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 use a WHILE loop
      • The game must include a line that says- While something is true.
      • While loop must be coded in python
      • Game must include at least one WHILE loop.
    • story must have at least 10 different variables in total
      • Create a game using python in Thonny
      • All variables must be different to each other.
      • Create a text-based adventure game
    • 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’
