1. Idea For Story

   • Add Stamina System
     • Player require certain stamina to perform actions and can gain/lose stamina
       • Player start with 5 stamina and lose a stamina for every action. Takes 3 to defeat Alien Boss.
   • Change to Sci-fi Story
     • The genre is sci-fi (aliens) instead of fantasy (dragons)
       • You are stuck on an alien planet. All your resources have been stolen by the Alien bandit. Defeat them to take back your loot and escape.
   • Track Playername
     • Keeps a record of the player's name
       • Uses player name to congratulate and welcome.

2. Existing Text-Based Adventure Games

   • The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy
     • A game about someone whose alien friend helps him escape Earth and travel through the galaxy
       • Strengths: Lots of depth (keeps players playing for longer), simple to get started (player can play right away)
       • Weakness: No hint system (some choices are easy to get stuck on), You die too often (forced restart)

3. Algorithm Constructs

   • Sequence
     • The order is which code is executed
   • Assignment
     • Giving a value to a variable
       • x = 4 y = "donut"
   • Selection and Condition
     • Checks if a condition is true or false and executes code based on that
       • IF, IF ELSE, ELIF
   • Iteration
     • Code is repeated until a condition is met
       • FOR loops, WHILE loops, repeat until
   • Modularisation

4. Coding Constructs

   • IF statement
     • Checks if a condition is true of false
       • IF x == 4: print('You're correct!')
   • For loops
     • Allows a block of code to repeat multiple times
       • for i in range (1,5): print(i)

5. Prescribed Criteria

   • Your story must have 10 variables
     • My game has 10+ variables to provide a better gameplay experience
     • The variables must be different from each other to give a more mixed game experience.
   • You must have a WHILE loop
     • Uses a while loop to help progress to game to next part
     • Uses a while loop to allow for multiple choices for the player to choose.
   • You must have at least 2 choices for each input
     • Have 2 options to allow for more player input and lets them control how they play
     • Have 2 options for each input to allow for multiple ways to complete the game
   • You must use variable that match storyline
     • Using variables that allow the player to complete the game
     • Using variables that builds on the story.
     • Using variables that builds on the story.
