Code: Jan 2021 Python Final Project
Simple interactive fiction/text-based game.
This is a text based puzzle game inspired by old fashioned point-and-click RPGs (specifically, my fave, Shadowgate). Unnamed player wakes up in a strange room with no obvious way out. Player can move about the room, inspect objects, and, potentially, use objects in order to figure out how to escape the room. There's not actually a lot here. A single riddle can be found. When it is found, it unlocks using a perhaps previously inspected/used item that will then open the door and end the game.
I had a lot of fun with this, though it needs a good amount of cleanup. I will see adding more here both in terms of story and puzzles and other interactivity (like, I meant to include a player inventory and the ability to take items).
- master loop
- create class and instantiate an object of that class; populate with data
- create and call 3 functions/methods; set values dynamically. couple
returnsthat bring back data used elsewhere - use regex for text validation
- (a stretch) implemented
___getitem___within Room class and access items using it; so sorta a dictionary that I'm retrieving values from
Clone the repo. Only need a Python installation. This was written using Python 3.9.2.
cd into the app folder and run python game.py.
Starts the loop that is the game. There is a main prompt that runs. Player can make a selection for one of three actions. Some actions require a target (i.e. a second input) and will prompt further when necessary. Player is free to explore the room and examine or use items in the room. Certain action/options/story-advancement are only available when conditions have been met.
