Item 2

1. Existing text based Adventure games

   • Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
     • The 1984 video game The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an interactive fiction text adventure.
       • It is famous for deadlocks. This means you could do something at the very start that makes you die at the very end
       • Simple game design makes games that are similar easy to recreate.

2. Ideas for story

   • Traveller trying to escape a mansion while treasure hunting
   • Needs to find the garden to escape
   • The garden is locked and only a magical key can unlock it

3. Algorithm constructs

   • Modularising
     • def clear_screen():
       • Modularising (or modularisation) in technology is the process of breaking down a large, complex computer program or system
   • Iteration
     • while is_active: show_status(current_room, inventory, rooms) user_input = input("> ")
       • Iteration in technology is the process of repeating a sequence of instructions, steps, or processes until a specific condition is met.
   • Selection and condition
     • if command == "go": current_room = handle_movement(argument, current_room, rooms, inventory)
       • A condition is a test that evaluates to true or false, while selection is the act of choosing which path to follow based on that result.
   • Assignment
     • current_room = "Green Room"
       • An assignment in technology refers to the process of setting or resetting a value, resource, role, or task to a specific destination
   • Sequence
     • clear_screen() time.sleep(0.5) ("[ SYSTEM: RUN SCRIPT = TRUE ]") ("[ LOADING: Digitech Assessment.EXE... ]")
       • Sequence in technology is the consecutive execution of instructions, data elements, or processes in a predetermined, step-by-step order.

4. Prescribed criteria

   • Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
     • Find key as an obtainable item
     • A monster room where the player dies
     • Find key as an obtainable item
     • Find potion as an obtainable item
     • 5 rooms with multiple exits.
   • You must have at least two choices for each input (IE. Yes | No, Left | Right, Buy | Sell)
     • Be able to go multiple directions during different rooms eg. West, East, South, North
     • Be able to obtain items such as the key and the potion
   • You must use a WHILE loop
     • while True: show_status(current_room, inventory, rooms)
   • You must use variables that match your storyline
     • Getting key, getting potion, needed to beat the game

5. Self - determined criteria

   • Make a separate ending to the game where a wizard appears
     • When reached the end of the game without all the obtainables, the room will prevent you from beating the game
     • There is two ending you can get, die by monster or get the treasure.
     • This ending happens when you enchant the key needed to beat the game

6. Coding constructs

   • IF statements
     • An "if statement" is a code structure that runs specific instructions only when a condition is true.
       • if not user_input: print("Please enter a command.") continue
   • FOR Loops
     • A "for loop" is a code structure used to repeat a block of code a specific number of times.
       • if argument in rooms[current_room]: current_room = rooms[current_room][argument] else: print("The static noise is too thick. You can't go that way!")
