Introduction

Lord of the Rings is an object-oriented adventure game built on Python. It was made purely for educational and entertainment purposes.

To start a game, simply type: $ ./main.py

"help" displays the game's total command list and should be referenced.

To test the game, type: $ ./test.py

You should see output similar to the following:

Ran 96 tests in 0.005s

(The number of tests may vary)

To run the tests (test.py), you must have the mock library installed: $ sudo pip install mock

Game is fun but suffers seriously from poor user interface. Player reaches max level mid-way through the game.

Future editions of this game should:

Implement a better user interface that is more forgiving. Currently, users get frustated at the UI.
Develop the ability to access certain "in world" commands in cities. For instance, user should be able to equip item in cities.
