How To Code A Python Text-Based Adventure Game In 11 Minutes | Programming Tutorial For Beginners

[@kineticcTM]

For anyone wanting to make more randomised games like this instead of going from one room to another, you can use the "def" command to make a room and then call the room later. Here's a quick example: Defining the room: def monster_room(): print() print("You enter a large open room with a monster.") choice = input("Do you fight, or do you flee?").lower() Then later say you have to choose between a door to the left or to the right, you can get a random number from 1-2: print("You wake up in a dark room, there is a door both to your left and right.") choice = input("Which door do you choose?").lower() if choice == "right": print("You open the door to the right, and step through.") rand_val = random.randint(1,2) if rand_val == 1: monster_room() rand_val = random.randint(1,2) if rand_val == 2: corridor() Here you will call the "monster_room" if the random number is 1 and "corridor" if it's 2. This is pretty much a very simple randomised room concept and can be modified to your liking. This also makes it so you can have the game go on forever because you can make more rooms and randomly pick rooms all the time, or make a room which causes you to win. In addition, doing it this way you can make the game restart if you want the player to die. And if the player makes an invalid choice you can call the room again, for example in the monster room if the player types anything that isnt fight or flee (else:) then you can just do it like this: else: print("You can't do that") monster_room() With this the player will just get asked the question again.

Thank you, Shuan. I was able to break off of your code really quickly, but I learned a lot. I even added an Easter egg for the shiny vase

thanks! i was absolutely stuck on what to make for my first real project!

I was actualy searching about how to make a text based game, like a phone game. Not necessarily a mobile game but a game that's like a smartphone

[@spanailos]

Very helpful Video for a beginner like me. I have one question. How can you make the if/else clause repeat, in case the user enters an invalid option, so he can choose again right away?

[@dolfinw4179]

I would use a while loop. For example while choice != "yes" or choice != "no": choice = input("No such option, please enter yes or no: ")

Good content as always! I love your vids

I used like 3 days to code a Dungeon Adventurer game. Basically has no story, but I tried to create a robust turn based combat system with a Passive skill tree and a Combat skill tree. The passive tree has 75 nodes and consists of Offensive boosts, Defensive, Resistances, Health, Health gain per turn. etc.. Combat skill has a skill tree in Diablo 4's manner, but it looks a lot uglier (More windows like). You can spec your character into melee, mage or ranged. The combat is turn based like in pokemon. There are 12 monsters, but each individual monster can be different. Skeleton can be Skeleton Mage, ranged or melee. There are 2 bosses so fare, but they're pretty lackluster because of balancing issues. The player can farm gear, I have a basic, magic, rare and unique system. Greater rarity gives armor more affixes per gear, but the Unique set of items have kinda lackluster "unique" bonuses like "For each % of health missing, you deal 0,3% more dmg" kinda of thing. What puts me off is I don't know how I should make the game loop more interesting. It's a Up, down, left, right system with random encounters at the moment. And the balancing issues, the player becomes so strong after a while that the normal enemies don't matter. Fun concept, hard to make alone yet alone balance.

I got stuck on how to make the "carrot symbol" on my keyboard. I am from norway so couldn't find it. Had to copy it from some text

[@daryllee7471]

caret. He said caret (^) but did "greater than" > shift-dot, between comma and slash. A caret is shift-6.

[@karenbourgeois7957]

I have so many ideas. RPGs are my favorite! Thanks a bunch 😊

[@scarloss474]

If anyone sees this please answer; What code do I use to return it back to the input/question I ask the player if put in an invalid choice? Or perhaps revert the game back to the beginning if they die without starting the game over themselves?

[@kineticcTM]

To do that you would need to change the code quite a bit but it is possible.

[@Kayne-zk4xi]

Thanks so much you helped me complete the school work

[@magicwordxyzzy]

I feel like using lower() to make the input not case sensitive would be an easy addition to improve this...but then, if we did every little thing to improve on the idea of a text adventure in Python, the video would be considerably longer, lol. I just wish that Python had some sort of getch command built in so every input didn't need to end with the press of the enter key.

Throw in a continue after the catch statement so they can redo the input without having to start over :)

Your tutorial is a lifesaver. Thank you!

[@megazoned3973]

If you make an invalid choice, how to you make it prompt you to answer the last question again instead of having to re run the game from the start?

[@QuizMaster-w6c]

that is one way to solve this problem, hope it helps ### choice print("do you want to enter the room?") choicebool = True while choicebool == True: choice = input("> ") if choice == "yes": print("you entered the room") choicebool = False elif choice == "no": print("you did not enter the room") choicebool = False else: print("invalid input, please enter yes or no.") print("end")

[@ompathak3384]

can we made this using tkinter and how??

[@Daz30]

What about continuing this game with another episode, you could have a drawing of location layouts of the mansion (not ingame but as an example of designing our map on paper) and how you add a navigate around the game world, where the player can navigate with n or e as traditionally with interactive fiction games. Or you could do a new setting where the player is walking through a forest where there are several paths to follow. This would be a great addition to learning how to make basic gameworld maps. I guess the very simple method would be giving several direction choices at the end of the location desc.." To the west is a swamp." And I guess, match input keyword of west or w to the current location the player is at. You could do a simple method for one half of the video and a more advanced version which might involve functions that handle the map system, on the other half of the video using the same adventure game setting.

[@thevalkyrie8]

It is a ‘text’ adventure

[@midnightgamer217]

Can you make it with less nesting?

[@PAFBEAST]

No

[@magicwordxyzzy]

Maybe? I've started thinking about doing a project like this, and I'm considering using a variable to set the current location, and based on the location call a function for that location. I'm also thinking about how I would implement an inventory system, which would need to include character inventory as well as inventory for each location, with the ability to move things between the current location and the character inventory.

[@farming4521]

Yo can someone tell me why; roomChoice = ("> ") if(roomChoice == "blue"): Doesn’t work?

[@Bjorofficial]

Are they on the same part, for example hideChoice = input("> ") if(hideChoice == "yes"): print("You hide and you see the horrifying demons rush past you") print("Before you know it your running out the door") print("You win") elif(hideChoice == "no"): print("The demons catch up with you and your eaten") print("You Lose")

[@griswoldthegoblin9420]

Probably a spelling error, you first typed pitBullchoice with small c and then if(pitBullChoice) with capitalized c. Not sure tho just a thought.
