Day 25

Explored some Python at Gork Learning. Worked on, Hour of Code: The Dark Tunnel – adventure game! Learned to use the if and else functions to print out a predetermined response based on what the player chooses to do.

The code I used:
print("What action would you like to do?")
guess = input("> ")
if guess == "look":
print("You look around.")
else:
print("You cannot do that.")

The interactions looked like this:
What action would you like to do?
> look
You look around.

What action would you like to do?
> run
You cannot do that.

Day 24

Explored some Python at Gork Learning. Worked on, Hour of Code: The Dark Tunnel – adventure game! Learned to use the if function to print out a predetermined action based on what the player chooses to do.

print("You are standing in the middle of the tunnel.")
print("Where would you like to go?")
action = input("> ")
if action == "forward":
print("You move further into the tunnel.")
if action == "backward":
print("You move back towards the tunnel entrance.")

The interactions looked like this:
You are standing in the middle of the tunnel.
Where would you like to go?
> forward
You move further into the tunnel.

You are standing in the middle of the tunnel.
Where would you like to go?
> backward
You move back towards the tunnel entrance.

Day 23

Explored some Python at Gork Learning. Worked on, Hour of Code: The Dark Tunnel – adventure game! Learned to use the print and input functions to print out an action the player has chosen to do after they type it in.

action = input("> ")
print("You", action, “around.”)

The interactions looked like this:

The code I used:
cat = int(input("Estimated total cats? "))
catglow = int(input("How many cats are glowing? "))
if cat > catglow:
print("Not all the cats are glowing.")
