A text adventure project

Text Adventure

The purpose of this lab is to create a piece of interactive fiction in the form of a text adventure game. If you are unfamiliar with the text adventure genre, Colassal Cave Adventure or AI Dungeon are examples.

Requirements

When run, your program should tell a story that includes various decision points that allow the reader experience alternate storylines. You won't be graded on the quality of your prose, but it might be more fun to explore a meaningful narrative.

On the technical end, your program must include the following:

• input to collect instructions from the user as needed
• print to display your narrative to the user
• exit to end your program as needed
• if, elif, and else to branch into different parts of the story
  • Must include at least 4 separate if statements
  • Must use else and elif at least once
  • Must include at least one use of nested if statements

Example

Here is an example start to a possible fantasy narrative:

print("You are alone in a dark cave. There is a sword next to you.")
print("1) Take the sword")
print("2) Leave the cave")

choice = input("Enter your choice: ")

if choice == "2":
    print("You leave the cave. You are killed by a goblin outside.")
    exit()

print("You take the sword and leave the cave.")
print("A goblin sees you and attacks, but you block with your sword.")
