Creating Assignment June 5th(Quest of Elements).

For this assignment, the 2 random words were: Game and motif. I created a board game called Quest of Elements.

The “Quest of the Elements” game is an interactive text-based adventure implemented in Python. In the game, the player assumes the role of a character who embarks on a quest through different locations to acquire elemental powers. At the beginning of the game, the player selects a character class from a list of options, each with unique attributes such as health, attack, and defense. The player’s objective is to navigate through various locations on the game board, including difficult terrain, ancient ruins, and battles with dangerous creatures.

When encountering a location, the player is presented with a description and a chance to perform an action. The success of the action depends on a predetermined success chance. Successful actions lead to progress, while unsuccessful ones result in health loss.

In battles with creatures, the player engages in turn-based combat, strategically choosing attack and defense options. Both the player and enemy have health, attack, and defense attributes, and the battle continues until either party’s health reaches zero.

Throughout the game, the player’s health is constantly monitored, and reaching zero health leads to the game being over. However, defeating enemies grants the player powers, adding a layer of excitement.

The game provides options to continue playing or quit after each encounter.
