Capstone: CLI Adventure Quest

The Ultimate Challenge

Congratulations! You have spent 30 days mastering the foundations of Python. Today, we don’t learn a new concept—we build something that proves you are a Python developer.

Capstone Project: Quest for the Python

You will build a Text-Based Adventure Game. The game involves moving through rooms, collecting items, and overcoming challenges.

Core Requirements:

1. The Map: At least 3 unique rooms (e.g., Forest, Cave, Castle).
2. The Player: A class that tracks health, inventory, and current location.
3. The Commands: A CLI that accepts “go [direction]”, “get [item]”, and “status”.
4. Saving: Option to save your game state to a savegame.json file.
5. Logic: Use conditional statements to handle special events (e.g., “You cannot enter the Cave without a Torch”).

        while True:
            print(f"\nYou are in the {self.current_room}")
            print(self.rooms[self.current_room]["desc"])
            
            action = input("> ").lower().split()
            if not action: continue
            
            if action[0] == "quit": break
            # Implement your movement and item logic here!

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Quest = Game()
    Quest.play()

What’s Next?

Completing this course is just the beginning. You now have the skills to start building real-world scripts, automation tools, and data analysis projects.

Your Learning Path continues with:

• Python Advanced in 30 Days (Deep dive into performance and systems)
• Python Web Development in 30 Days (FastAPI, Django, and Databases)

Interactive Practice

Think of one final logic feature for your game. If the player has a “Snake Charm”, they can talk to the Forest Snake to get a clue. How would you write that if statement?
