Project: Interactive Adventure Story

Welcome to your first big Python project! It’s time to use everything you’ve learned to create your very own interactive adventure story.

In this project, you’ll build a short, fun game in which the user makes choices and experiences different outcomes based on those decisions.

Goals

You’ll aim to:

• Take user input (input()) to interact with the player.

• Use conditional logic (if, elif, else) to branch your story.

• Use loops (while) for game flow and continuity.

Project steps

Here is the general breakdown of a project that we will discuss in the steps below:

• Begin with a friendly welcome and ask the player for their name to personalize the story.

• Ask the player to choose between two paths (like entering a forest or walking along its edge). This sets the direction for the rest of the story.

• Use if, elif, and else statements to show different parts of the story based on the player’s choice.

• Within each story branch, ask another question to add interaction and track a score.

• End the story with a message that reflects the player’s decisions.

• Replay the story using a while loop so they can explore different outcomes.

Step 1: Story setup

Start the game by asking for the player’s name and setting the scene. Use input() and print() to make the story’s start feel personal.
