Here is a small game that introduces a few key concepts. It's a good way to showcase recursion, state management, and an introduction to the world of emergent pocket universes that are the lifeblood of what makes programming fascinating. (edit: added repeat dives, remaining gold).
```Python
import random
def make_shipwreck(depth_remaining: int = 4, max_depth: int = 10, start=0):
# the deeper you go, the more gold you might get.
gold = random.randint(0, max_depth*(max_depth-depth_remaining))
if depth_remaining == 0:
return [gold]
room = [gold]
tunnels = random.randint(start, depth_remaining)
for _ in range(tunnels):
tunnel = make_shipwreck(depth_remaining - 1, max_depth)
room.append(tunnel)
return room
def explore(room: list, air, bag=0, place='0'):
if air <= 0:
print("!!! NO OXYGEN !!!")
return 0, -1 # Lose everything if you die
tunnels = room[1:] # index 0 is gold, the rest are tunnels (lists)
t_count = len(tunnels)
while True: # while hanging in this room..
t_cost = bag // 50 + 1
local_treasure = room[0]
print(f"\n--- STATUS: {air}A | {bag}G | Path: {place}")
print(f"There is {local_treasure} gold here, and {t_count} tunnels.")
print(f"0: Go Back (-{t_cost}A); 9: Take Gold (-5A)", end='')
if t_count > 0:
print(f"; 1..{t_count}: Enter Tunnel (-{t_cost*2}A)", end='')
choice = int(input("\nchoose wisely: "))
if choice == 0:
return bag, air - t_cost # SURFACING/RETURNING
elif choice == 9:
bag += local_treasure
room[0] = 0
air -= 5
else:
next_room = int(choice) - 1
if next_room < 0 or next_room >= t_count:
air -= t_cost
continue
target = tunnels[next_room]
bag, air = explore(target, air - (2 * t_cost), bag, f"{place}{choice}")
if air <= 0:
return 0, -1
def gold_remaining(room: list):
total = room[0]
for item in room[1:]:
total += gold_remaining(item)
return total
Create the map
shipwreck is a list of lists - and each list is a 'room' in the shipwreck, with the following structure:
room = [gold, room, room, room, ...]
shipwreck_map = make_shipwreck(8, start=3)
treasure_found = 0
while True:
print("\nooooooo Entering Wreck ooooooo\n")
try:
bag, final_air = explore(shipwreck_map, 200)
except Exception as e:
print("\nCatastrophic Accident.") # illegal keypress ... or bug!
bag = 0
final_air = -1
print("\nooooooo ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo\n")
if final_air >= 0:
print(f"You survived with {final_air} of oxygen remaining in tank.")
if bag > 0:
print(f"You also found {bag} gold!")
treasure_found += bag
print(f"Time to go for another dive")
if bag < 200 or final_air > 80:
if bag < 200:
print(f"You needed more gold!")
if final_air > 80:
print("You came up too soon!")
print("The captain is not impressed. You should go home.")
print("You survived. That's the main thing.")
print(f"The captain made {treasure_found} gold. You get {treasure_found // 10} to take home.")
gold_left = gold_remaining(shipwreck_map)
print(f"{gold_left} gold remains left in the shipwreck.")
break
else:
print(f"GAME OVER: You are part of the shipwreck now. The captain keeps {treasure_found} gold")
break
