Project 1: "Create Your Own Adventure Game"
Weightage – 30%
Objective
Students will build a simple text-based adventure game where the user navigates through a series of
decisions, leading to different outcomes.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Plan Your Story
Start by creating a simple flowchart or outline of your story. Decide:
•
The starting scenario (e.g., a treasure hunt, escaping a haunted house, exploring a jungle).
•
Three or four key decision points.
•
At least two possible endings.
Step 2: Write the Code
1. Display the Story Introduction
Write a brief introduction to set the scene.
2. Create the Decision Points
Use if, elif, and else statements to let the user make choices.
Step 3: Add More Story Paths
Expand the game by adding more decision points and paths to create a richer experience. Use
functions to organize your code and make it easier to read.
Step 4: Test and Debug
•
Play the game multiple times to ensure all paths work.
•
Handle invalid inputs (e.g., entering something other than "1" or "2").
Presentation Guidelines
1. Introduction: Explain your story and the theme of the game.
2. Demo the Game: Run your program and show a few paths.
3. Explain Your Code: Describe how the decisions and functions work.
4. Challenges and Solutions: Share any challenges you faced while coding and how you solved
them.
