RPG Challenge: Coder 1

🧩 PART 1 – The Glitchy Classroom (12 mins)

Print this at the start:

You open your eyes in a classroom. The projector flashes an image of a dog in sunglasses.  

Desks are upside down. There’s a banana on the keyboard.  

On the whiteboard, someone wrote: "System error: students missing. Begin repairs."

Your tasks:
☐ Ask the player for their name using input()
☐ Print a welcome message using their name
☐ Print 3+ lines describing the classroom (keep it glitchy, sarcastic, or unusual)
☐ Create an empty list: rescued_students = []
☐ Create and print a list of strange objects in the room
 

Example:

objects = ["banana", "broken laptop", "flickering ceiling tile"]

print(objects)

🧩 PART 2 – The Baseball Field (15 mins)

Print this at the start:

The classroom flickers and vanishes. You’re standing on a baseball field.  

The scoreboard floats in mid-air. The crowd is just cardboard goats.  

A holographic pitcher appears: "Choose your gear. Try not to break anything."

Your tasks:
☐ Create a list: gear = ["bat", "glove", "helmet"]
☐ Ask the player to choose one: choice = input("Choose your item: bat, glove, or helmet: ")

☐ Use if, elif, and else to print different outcomes
☐ Add this line at the end: rescued_students.append("BaseballPerson")

🧩 PART 3 – The Painted Cave (15 mins)

Print this at the start:

You fall through the field and land in a cave. The walls shift like animated paint.  

A giant floating brush passes by. A voice says: "Input three colors. Reboot this place."

Your tasks:
☐ Ask the player to enter 3 color names and store them in a list
☐ Use a for loop to print each color with a comment
Example:

for color in colors:

    print(color + " added to the wall. It glows weirdly.")

☐ Write a function called reboot_art() that prints a one-line message
☐ Call the function
☐ Add another person to the rescue list:

rescued_students.append("ArtPerson")

🧩 Bonus (if you finish early – 3 mins)

☐ Add a line where a robot assistant says something useless
☐ Let the player “inspect” an object from the list and print a result
☐ Add one extra item to the object or gear list
