Algorithm Challenges

1. Challenge 1

   • Input/output
     • North
       • Take 4 from mapLoc to move the player north
         • If mapLoc = 0-3, display error message as player is on border
     • East
       • Add 1 to mapLoc to move the player east
         • If mapLoc = 3, 7, 11 or 15 display error message as player is on border
     • South
       • Add 4 to mapLoc to move the player south
         • If maploc = 12-15, display error message as player is on border
     • West
       • Take 1 from mapLoc to move the player west
         • If mapLoc = 0, 4, 8 or 12 display error message as player is on border
   • Arrays/lists
     • Map size
       • 0-15
         • MapLoc = player position
   • Variables
     • Health points
       • Set player health point variable to 3
         • If player health point variable = 5
           • Cap health
         • If player health point variable = 0
           • Print "You died!" and end game
     • Equipment
   • Functions
     • When spawn, random.randInt MapLoc to 5, 6, 9 or 10

2. Challenge 2

   • Input/output
     • Eat bread
       • Bread in inventory
         • Health is 5
           • Display error message "Health is max"
         • Health is <5
           • Add 1 to health
             • Remove bread from inventory
       • No bread in inventory
         • Display error message "You have no bread"
     • Talk to baker
       • Player in mapLoc 2
         • Add bread to inventory
           • Display message "The baker gives you some bread"
             • Lock baker so it cannot give anymore bread
       • Player not in mapLoc 2
         • Display error message "What baker?"
   • Variables
     • Baker in mapLoc 2
     • Baker
     • Eat bread

3. Challenge 3

   • Variables
     • Dragon in mapLoc 13
       • Set dragon health point variable to 3
         • If dragon health point variable = 0 then display message "You have defeated the dragon!"
     • Sword
   • Input/output
     • Attack dragon with sword in inventory
       • Display message "The dragon is attacked and loses 1hp!"
         • Take 1 from dragon health point variable
           • Display message "The dragon attacks back and you lose 1hp!"
             • Take 1 from player health point variable
     • Attack dragon without sword in inventory
       • Display message "You attack the dragon with your fists and tickle him"
