Python Game

Python Game

1. Prescribed Criteria

   • Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
     • use numbers and words for variables
     • use full words like 'health' instead of just 'h'
     • Make sure numbers and words change as player is playing
   • You must have at least 2 choices for each input
     • always give clear options
     • use if so both choices do different things
     • use else if the player does the wrong thing
   • you must use a WHILE loop
     • use the loop to keep the game going so it doesn't stop after one turn
     • start the loop with a clear rule
     • make sure the loop stops when the player wins or loses
   • You must use variables that match your storyline
     • Hint
     • clues found
     • Score

2. Ideas for story

   • A very expenive diamond is stolen from the main hall and the museum is locked to cath the theif
   • player must search the crime scene to find hidden clues
   • interview with suspects and eliminate them with clues and guess the right theif to win

3. Self-determined Criteria

   • use hints
     • player can type "hint" during the game to get a clue on what to do next
     • the game must subtract 1 hint every time the player types hint
     • A total of 3 hints will be given and after 3 hints the game should print "no more hints left"

4. Exisiting text based adventure games

   • Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
     • Funny sci-fi text based adventure game based on a book
       • Strength : creative story
       • Weakness: Sometimes can be confusing
   • Forests of lyrics
     • Fantasy based game to teach coding
       • Strength: Easy to play and has a clear layout
       • wekaness: The story is a bit predictable

5. Algorithm Constructs

   • Sequence
     • code running in order from top to bottom
       • print ("Welcome to the game!") name = input ("what is your name?")
   • Assignment
     • saving data inside a variable to use later
       • player health = 100
   • Selection and condition
     • Making choices in the game using 'if' statements
       • choice = input("Go left or right?") if choice == "left": print ("you found a way out!"
   • Iteration
     • Repeating actions using loops
       • while player health > 0 print ("you are alive")
   • Modularisation
     • Breaking code into separate parts
       • def print_books(): print_books()

6. Coding constructs

   • If statements
     • Making things happen only if a condition is met
       • if score == 10: print('you win!")
   • FOR loops
     • Going through a list one by one
       • for i in range(1, 11): print(i)
