What is this?

This is an adventure game that jholtane and I are building incrementally for learning.

Requirements

  • When the game is started, then player gets a gameover message (immediately).
  • The player can enter their name, then they get a gameover (with a customized message that includes their name).
  • The player is prompted for their name.
  • After the player enters their name, they are then prompted for a word that describes their character. The game then praises their attribute. (then they lose).
  • The game describes a challenge that the character faces, and how they use their attribute (description word) to overcome it.
  • The character faces a challenge of strength (stone blocking their path?). If the character is "strong" then they pass and receive a message (but not a gameover). If they are not "strong", they get a gameover.
  • When the character fails the challenge of strength, they get a failure message, but no longer a game over upon failure. The game always results in a gameover (like before).
  • The character also faces a challenge of speed (running across a log??). Similar to the challenge of strength, have a success message and a failure message.
  • The character does not face both trials. Instead, only one is chosen (at random, 50% chance each).
  • There exists a 3rd type of challenge (stamina/wit/intelligence/charm) that is faced if the character does not face either of the previous challenges.
  • The character faces 5 trials, randomly selected from the pool of various (3-6 or so) trials we've created.
  • There exists a 4th type of challenge.
  • (refactor) the challenges exist as separate methods (e.g. trialOfStrength(), trialOfSpeed(), ...)
  • (refactor) there exists a class for challenges.
  • The challenges are equally likely to occur.
  • At the beginning of the game, the character has 3 health.
  • After each challenge, the player's current health is printed
  • When they fail a challenge, they lose 1 health. After the 5 challenges, if the character has any health remaining, they get the happy ending. If they have no health remaining, they get the bad ending.
