You will write a text-based adventure game in Python. The story line is entirely up to you, so have some fun with it! In a text-based adventure game, information about the state of the world is printed out to the user and the user is given options to act. For example:
What would you like to do? 1) Go North 2) Go West 3) Open mailbox
3
You open the mailbox and see mail...
Goals
You now have quite a bit of Python under your belt and it’s time to put it all together and consolidate your knowledge before moving on to even more exciting things.
Specifically, this is a good exercise for making sure you are very comfortable with the idea of containers and to give you practice with loops and conditionals.
Adventure Ideas
- A day at Garfield
- Solve the robbery
- Journey to another planet
- Find the treasure
Requirements
- The story must be appropriate
- Your program must have a comment at the top
- There must be something the user can type that always exits (“Quit” or “bail” or “get me out”) …
- You must use at least three variables (Name, age, score, shoe_color, number of jewels found, number of classes stayed awake in…)
- You must have at least one complex condition (If my health is less than 5 and I get attacked by a bear, I die)
- There must be at least one way to die and at least one way to win (Save the princess, get the date to prom, get eaten by a dinosaur, eat poison)
- It must be possible to keep playing the game forever (type ‘again’ to play again)
- There must be at least one “puzzle” the user has multiple tries to get
What is 2 * 5? 3
No, try again! 6
No, try again! 10
Please try to make it more fun than multiplication!
Sample
I highly encourage you to look at my example but DO NOT COPY AND PASTE! You are welcome to borrow ideas but your story must be original and you must type out your own code.
