Start Assignment
Text Adventure Game Development
In this assignment, students are tasked with designing a text-based adventure game
(https:
www.thefreedictionary.com/Text+adventure+game) . This game should utilize the Python essentials
covered thus far, including, but not limited to:
Strings and String Manipulation
User-Defined Functions and Objects (variables)
User Input and Input Handling
Conditional and Nested Conditional Statements (if/elif/else)
Loops (fo
while)
Controlling for E
ors (try/except)
 
 
The working version of the game should include:
An executable script (a script that runs from beginning to end upon execution) that includes:
a game that can be successfully completed within a maximum of 3 minutes
…a minimum of:
3 stages, not including the fail()/win() functions (maximum of 5 stages). Think of a stage like
a scene where many things can happen before moving on to the next scene.
2 defined variables
1 loop
1 nested conditional statement (conditional statement within a conditional statement)
1 fail() function (executed whenever a user loses the game)
1 win() function (executed whenever a user wins the game)
All code should be in a single code cell
A docstring at the beginning of game that:
Is no more than 150 words
Introduces the game and its purpose
Identifies any bugs that are not yet worked out
 
Submission Requirements
https:
www.thefreedictionary.com/Text+adventure+game
A working version of your game in the following format:
Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb format)
All code needs to be in a single cell
 
Restrictions
Your game must be based on a book, movie, or TV show. Make sure to provide a source in the
docstring.
No compressed files (.zip, .rar, etc.).
No linking to external content or websites.
No alternate paths or endings. A user must either win or lose your game. Do not make different
versions of the same stage.
No games based on Pokemon, Ha
y Potter, or Hangman.
(advanced) The only programming language you may use is Python (no JavaScript, C, or othe
languages allowed).
(advanced) Global variables may NOT be used (avoid things such as combat engines and characte
attributes such as health points).
(advanced) No use of class structures or other object-oriented programming structures (you must
stick to user-defined functions).
(advanced) Your functions are not allowed to have return statements.
(advanced) You are not allowed to pass things between the stages of your game (stages should
not inherit arguments from other stages). For example, a key found in Stage 1 cannot be ca
ied
forward to Stage 2.
 
Tips
Make sure to explicitly label argument functions.
It is a great idea to explore the random package to increase replay value. If a user plays the game
more than once, they should experience different questions/scenarios/etc.
Be creative! This is a passion piece for your project portfolio!

Text Adventure Game Ru
ic
This sample game would likely receive a D grade as it meets the minimum requirements for the
assignment.
 
Positive Aspects:
It functions properly and runs with the single click of a button
The docstring is in proper orde
The story flows reasonably well and is entertaining for those that like Monty Python
The nested conditional and while loop are well placed
E
or handling has been somewhat taken into consideration (although in this case it restricts use
input)
 
Areas of Improvement:
The story is very simple and selection choices are predictable
It lacks replay value (there is not enough diversity in riddles, game flow is very linear, etc.)
The black_knight stage should have been given more depth
User input is quite restrictive for a text adventure game
Lacks dynamic content
The game follows the template too closely
