Text Based Adventure Game

1. Data Types

   • String
     • sequence of characters
   • Boolean
     • two possible values: true or false.
   • Integer
     • represents a range of mathematical integers
   • Float
     • stores decimal values
   • An attribute associated with a piece of data that tells a computer system how to interpret its value.

2. Algorthim Constructs

   • Assignment
   • Sequence
   • Selection
   • Condition
   • Iteration
   • Modularisation

3. Task Requirements

   • Challenge 1
     • Recognition and description of sample algorithms
     • Mind map
     • Symbolisation of solutions using pseudocode presented in IPO charts
     • Desk check algorithms
   • Challenge 2
     • Prescribed Criteria
       • The player begins with 3 health points.
       • The map must be displayed visually, as ASCII art.
       • • The player begins with no equipment but can pick up items from the map and use them.
       • The player begins in one of the centre squares of a 5 x 5 map grid.
       • •There must be at least two Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) that can be talked to.
       • When talked to, the two NPCs will give a random game hint from a possible list of 5 hints. E.g. “The bakery is north.”
       • The player can navigate the map using valid commands: “north”, “south”, “east” and “west”. Other navigation commands will return: “I do not understand”
       • When the player arrives at a new location a text-based description of the location is displayed.
       • If the player tries to move outside the boundary of the map a message appears explaining that the way is blocked, and the player cannot move in that direction.
       • • Have a series of events that the player must complete to finish the game.
     • Self-Determined Criteria
   • Challenge 3
     • User persona
     • Usability Principles

6. Impacts

   • Social
     • A community is made
     • Social interactions about game
   • Economic
     • Profits
     • Company
     • Hiring employees
   • Personal
     • Spending time on the game

7. Data Structures

   • For
     • Control flow statement for specifying iteration
   • If
     • It takes a Boolean expression as a condition and executes the code inside the loop if the condition is true1. If the condition is false, the code is ignored
   • While
     • a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a given Boolean condition.
   • A data structure is a way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and used efficiently.

8. User problem

   • User persona
     • Primary School
     • Needs and Expectations
     • Interests
     • Fustrations

9. Variables

   • Local
     • Declared within a specific block of code, such as a function or method, and have limited scope and lifetime, existing only within that block.
   • Global
     • Global variables are variables that are declared outside of any function or block of code and can be accessed from any part of the program
