Today’s exercise is a simple text based adventure. Dr Angela Yu of the Udemy Course 100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2022 provided the basic framework. I just need to copy the text, embellish it a bit, and add in the flow control to navigate through the game, resulting in a dead player, or escape the labyrinth. There are no hints on how to navigate the game to win, you need to read the code, or look at the example below.
What is the difference between ‘ and ’ one is an ascii single quote that is used by code to indicate encapsulated text is a string, and the second one is punctuation. It is common to use the single quote. The evil Dr Yu provide the ascii single quote throughout the examples provided. I fortunately have played this game of mismatched single quotes before and converted them first thing.
At this rate I might get through 100 days of code in a couple years, but I’m not in a hurry, and I like the slower pace. I’m also working on blogging. Having something to write everyday is a nice way to practice blog writing.
print("Welcome to Treasure Island.")
print("Your mission is to find the treasure.")
