Open Google Colab, the tutorial to set things up is here.

Create your personal file and your shared parent project file (follow the tutorial).
Make sure both are shared with your partner and with Mr McFarlane.

Agree on a basic story idea for your game:

1. Where does the hero start?

2. Where will they travel to?

3. What types of enemies and friends will they meet?

4. What kinds of items and food will they collect?

Write a welcome message that greets the player when they start the game.

Write a story introduction (a few sentences) to set the scene for the adventure.

Ask the player for their name using input().

Create the main starting variables:

1. player_name

2. player_health (e.g., 100)

3. player_gold (e.g., 50)

Create two empty lists:

1. inventory = []

2. food = []

Create a player_stats dictionary to store at least the player's name, health, and gold.

Print out the player's starting stats clearly to check that everything is working.

Create a list of possible locations (e.g., "forest", "village", "castle gate", "mountain pass").

Import the random module to help pick random locations.

Write a travel() function that:

1. Chooses a random location from the list.

2. Prints a message showing where the player has arrived.

Create random encounter events at the location:

1. Sometimes an enemy appears.

2. Sometimes a friend appears.

3. Sometimes the player finds an item.

Use if/elif/else inside travel() to control what happens based on the encounter:

1. If enemy → (prepare for battle later)

2. If friend → (give gift or food)

3. If item → (add item to inventory list)

When the player finds an item or food, use .append() to add it to the correct list.

Update the player_stats dictionary if needed (e.g., gaining gold or healing slightly).

Print out a clear encounter message each time something happens.

Use try/except to catch errors if asking for any new player input (optional at this stage).

Create your Player class:

1. Attributes: name, health, inventory, food

2. Methods:

   1. show_stats() → print current stats

   2. take_damage(amount) → reduce health

   3. add_item(item) → add to inventory

   4. add_food(food_item) → add to food list

   5. eat_food(food_item) → heal and remove food from list

Create your Enemy class:

1. Attributes: name, health, damage

2. Methods:

   1. attack() → return damage value

   2. take_damage(amount) → reduce health

Create your Friend class:

1. Attributes: name, gift

2. Method:

   1. give_gift() → return the gift (item or food)

Test your classes by creating:

1. One Player object using player name from earlier.

2. At least one Enemy object and one Friend object.

Write a battle() function:

1. Player and enemy take turns attacking.

2. Player health and enemy health must update each turn.

3. Use a while loop to continue the battle until one side’s health reaches 0.

When the player wins a battle:

1. Print a victory message.

2. Optionally add a reward (gold, item, or food).

When the player loses a battle:

1. Print a defeat message.

2. End the game if health reaches 0.

Add try/except to catch errors if the player chooses invalid options during battle.

Allow the player to eat food during the game:

1. Show the food list.

2. Let the player choose an item to eat.

3. Heal the player by a set amount (e.g., +20 health).

4. Remove the food item from the list after eating.

Write a game_over() function:

1. Check if the player’s health is 0 or below.

2. If yes, print a "Game Over" message and end the game.

Add a final travel loop (optional):

1. Let the player keep travelling and encountering enemies, friends, and items until they die or complete the journey

Check and clean your player_stats dictionary:

1. Update player stats correctly when gaining gold, health, or items.

Polish your messages and story text:

1. Make the journey feel complete (victory, survival, or defeat).

2. Make sure all print messages are clear and fit the RPG theme.

Carefully test your game:

1. Play it from the beginning.

2. Fix any crashes, bugs, or broken logic.

Submit:

1. Make sure your parent project file is complete.

2. Ensure both personal files and the parent file are shared with your partner and Mr McFarlane.
