     • Req 1: The game should have riddles as challenges.
     • Req 2: The game must have at least 2 Ascii images
     • Req 3: The game must have at least 2 Ascii font colours

3. Predscribed Criteria

   • PC1: Your story must have at least 10 different variables in total
     • Req 2: Create a text based game using python on the Thonny application.
     • Req 3: Story game must have 10 variables at least.
     • Req 1: Create a text based adventure game with a. fantasy theme
     • Req 4: Each variable must be different.

     • Req 2: The variables should be something that is only found in fantasy worlds.
   • PC3: You must use a WHILE Loop
     • Req 1: The story game must include a WHILE loop at least once.
     • Req 2:The story game must use a WHILE True loop.

4. Coding Contrsucts

   • IF statements
     • If statements run a block of code if the condition is true
       • e.g. age = 20 if age >= 18: print("You are an adult.")
   • FOR loops
     • FOR loops allow a section of code to be executed repeatedly.
       • e.g. fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] for x in fruits: print(x)

5. Algorithm Contrusts

   • Sequence
     • A sequence is a number of instructions that are processed one after the other.
       • e.g. print("Hello,", user_name, "This is Candy Land. Everything is covered in sweets and candies!") print("However, we need your help! Our leader Stardust Glow had been captured by the evil dragon!")
   • Assignment
     • Assignment is used to store the value of an expression into a variable.
       • e.g. x = 10
   • Selection & Condition
     • A selection statement uses a condition to select, or determine, the next line of the program that is to be executed.
       • e.g "would you like to help? Yes/No"
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is where the program goes round in a loop or repeats itself for a number of times.
       • e.g. fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] for x in fruits: print(x)
   • Modularisation
     • Modularisation is used to reduce the complexity of a system by deconstructing it into independent units or modules.

6. Existing Text Based Games

   • Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
     • The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a sci-fi adventure following Arthur Dent, the last surviving human after Earth is demolished to make way for a space bypass. Rescued by his alien friend Ford Prefect, Arthur travels the cosmos using a guidebook. Along with a bizarre crew, they hunt for meaning in a chaotic universe where the ultimate answer to life is 42.
