Trapped! is an old school text-based adventure game written in Python. It runs in the Code Institute mock terminal on Heroku.

The user experiences a narrative game, in which they can make a choice in how to advance forward.

Trapped! is an old school text-based adventure game. The player is presented with a narrative scene and is promted with options to choose from in order to advance the story forward. Trapped! being a deadly game, the player has to choose the correct answer in each scene. An incorrect answer will cause game over and restart.

• Narrative gameplay advanced circularly

• Play along the computers story
• Accepts user input
• Input validation and error-checking
  • You must enter whole numbers, 1 or 2

• In its current state, the game is fully playable and an adrenaline-filled experience but as with most things, there is always room for improvement. In the future I would like to add:
  • More player choice options, opening the game to more possible outcomes
  • Branching choice options, leading to a deeper experience
  • Randomized narrative scenes, unbound from previous scene

I used Balsamiq Wireframes to build a wireframe to first plan my project. Using the wireframe tool allowed me to get a clear understanding of what I was going to build and where parts needed to be placed.

• I have playtested the game in browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge
  • Working as intended
• As the validator website pep8online.com is currently down, I have manually run a Python linter in my workspace as per Code Institute's instructions
  • No errors found
• I have run the code through Code Institute's Python Linter
  • All clear, no errors found

This project was deployed unsin Code Institute's mock terminal in Heroku

• Steps for deployment
  • Fork or clone this repository
  • Create a new Heroku app
  • Set the buildbacks to Python and NodeJS in that order
  • Link the Heroku app to the repository
  • Click on Deploy

• The content of these three websites helped me better understand how to write certain parts of the code. I altered the code to fit my project.
  • Website 1
  • Website 2
  • Website 3
• This website helped me gain an understanding on how to use the Time module.
