Warship is a Python terminal game, which runs in the Code Institute mock terminal on Heroku.

Users answer questions in the game, which will determine the users next path. The game, whilst terminal-based, is aimed to use the players imagination to envision the scenario.

Here is the live version of my project.

Warship is a text-based game which have been documented to go back since the 1960's. You can read more about them and their paths through history on Wikipedia.

In this game we use multiple choice questions to lead the user down a path either further into the ship, with or without friends.

There is no winning or losing, but more the users want to go further into the Warship.

• Use of colorama
  • The use of colorama has been implemented to enable quick and easy viewing if something is incorrect in RED
  • Using BLUE for the use of information for the user
  • Using YELLOW for standout information like, the selection choice

• The Story behind Warship

• Use of the clear() function to clear the users terminal during the game play

import os

def clear():
    """
    Clear function to clear up the terminal
    """
    os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

• Refactoring of code
  • Removing the five End Game Function and combining into one function
  • Adding the Final End game function into the End Game function

• Displaying Errors when the user inputs the wrong information

• To allow users to set usernames
• Adding in Terminal Based Graphics

I decided to use a Adventure game for my model, meaning that when the user answers the questions they have different paths, leading to different outcomes.

The number of questions I wanted to limit, to keep the game quick and fun, but also have multiple outcomes so it can be played more than once.

• Used a flowchart of the questions to follow the path through with the answers of the questions.

• The questions where set out with the answers, color coded to link through:
