Forest of Lyrica Assessment Mindmap

1. Algorithm Challenge 1

   • Player starts with backpack containing no items.
     • When game starts, create empty array called 'backpack' which the player can add items to.
   • Game map is a 4x4 grid.
     • Create an array with 16 elements containing unique locations the player can travel to
     • Make top row contain positions 0-3, 2nd row positions 4-7, 3rd row positions 8-11, and last row positions 12-15
   • Player randomly starts in centre 4 squares
     • Program chooses a random element from an array containing the index no. of the centre 4 squares
       • Console returns the description of the corresponding map location for the player.
   • Player starts with 3 health points.
     • Create an integer variable called 'health' and set to 3.

2. Algorithm Challenge 2

   • Player inputs command
     • Player input: eat bread
       • Check if backpack contains bread
         • Backpack contains bread

       • Actions: none
     • If dragon in player's location:
       • Output: "The dragon wakes up and you begin to fight."
       • Create variable containing dragon's health and set to 3.
       • Begin a loop until dragons health reaches 0.
         • Player inputs: 'use sword'
           • If sword in backpack
             • Output: 'you hit the dragon'
               • Output: dragons health
             • Action: Remove 1 from dragons health.
             • 75% chance of dragon attacking back.
               • If dragon attacks back
                 • Output: 'the dragon hit you back'
                 • Action: remove 1 from players health
               • If dragon doesn't attack back.
                 • Output: 'the dragon looks tired'
                 • Action: none
           • If sword not in backpack
             • Action: none
             • Output: you don't have that item.
         • Player inputs: 'eat bread'
           • If bread in backpack
             • Actions: Remove bread from backpack and increase player’s health by 1 (if not already at full health).
             • Output: 'you ate the bread'
           • If bread not in backpack
             • Action: none
             • Output: 'you have no bread'
