Hire a Python Developer

For this assignment, you will be building a text based game. This will be a single player rogue game. [login to view URL](video_game) Scenario: You find yourself in a dungeon. You have no idea how long you have been trapped for. Suddenly, one day, for no apparent reason, your door opens. Even though weak from having no food, you scramble out as the door closes behind you. You see many paths and many rooms. Which one will you enter? Game Play: 1. The player starts with 10 health points. 2. The player uses commands to move around a network of rooms. 3. Each move to a new room costs the player 1 health point. 4. Some rooms contain ghosts which ask the player questions. 5. Answering a question correctly rewards a player with an increase of 2 health points. 6. Rooms can be empty. 7. One room contains a monster which will remove 5 health points if encountered. 8. If a player’s health points drop below 0 the player is dead and the game is over. 9. One room is an exit. The player wins if they enter this room. Allocation of marks 1. Program Design Document (30 marks) You need to begin by breaking down the core game into a series of sub problems, each of which will be solved by a function or combination of functions In a design document, begin by describing the different functions that will be needed to build the game. For each function: - Give the name of the function that will be used and what it will do - List any inputs/outputs and parameters the function will have - A test plan that covers the use of the function For example, you will need to consider functions for moving between rooms, examining the content of a room, knowing what rooms are available to enter and returning your current health Next, using the functions you have named, create a flowchart showing the running of the game. The flowchart should show how the functions interact with each other   2. Program Implementation (40 marks) You will next need to build your game using Python. Use your program design document to help you. Think about how your code will be structured and how you will make use of libraries and programming constructs to build your game. You will need to focus on how your code demonstrates cohesive functions that are loosely coupled together. You need to make good use of comments and naming conventions to produce good quality reusable code. This will be evidenced in the way you have coded your game. It should be well organised, well documented, reusable, easy to maintain and easy to understand. All variables and definitions need to begin with your initials. For example, MG_playerHealth 3. Extensions (10 marks) Further marks may be obtained for extending the functionality of the game. Some suggestions are: • Randomising the questions found in some rooms • A monster that moves around randomly as you move • Items that can be collected in an inventory and used later eg. Health potion • A combat system between monsters and the player • Multiple users in the same dungeon 4. Demonstration (Multiplier) You are required to demonstrate your program to your tutor. You should demonstrate all the functionality of your game and explain your code. You may also be asked questions. The demonstration acts as a multiplier and is used to moderate your assignment grade based on how well you understand what you have done. Please see the mark scheme for more information.   Mark scheme Item Max mark Mark awarded Game Design Document Breakdown of main game 5 Function description 5 Role and processing 5 Inputs/outputs and parameters 5 Function test plans 5 Flowchart 5 Implementation Correctness of program 20 Demonstration of cohesive functions 4 Low coupling between functions 4 Error handling 4 Naming Conventions 2 Commenting 2 Use of libraries 2 Use of advanced constructs 2 Extensions Extensions to the core game 10 Total 80 Demonstration Grade 5 Multiplier 1 x (100%) Final Total 80 Demonstration Grade Multiplier 5/5 1 (100%) 4/5 0.95 (95%) 3/5 0.9 (90%) 2/5 0.85 (85%) 1/5 0.8 (80%) 0/5 0.75 (75%) 1.
