CST 205 - Week 5

Lab 11 & 12 - Text Adventure

This week's assignment was to use Python to make a text adventure game in the style of Zork. Both labs were a two-step process of first getting the program to run and afterwards adding functionality to the game. Because of a miscommunication on my end, I was more involved with the second half of this lab. This was a good exercise in learning how to add on to existing code. This lab showed me the effectiveness of Dictionaries in Python, especailly when your program requires organizing a large amount of text. My additions to the game were to update the text layout in a more user-friendly way and to add an inventory category to allow more items to be added to the game in a more effecient way. The most challenging part of this assignment was finding a way to edit the code that did not hurt other parts of the program.
