Tues/Thurs: Beginning Python - Coding Project 1: "Text-Based Adventure Game" (Grade 3-8)

This is a basic version of the Adventure game and is suited for beginners, and those just starting with Python. It is completely text-based. In this version of the game, users can move about through different rooms within a single setting, and based on the user input, it will provide descriptions for each room. This is one of the most interesting python projects. 

Movement direction is crucial here – you must create walls and set the directions in which the users can move through the rooms, set movement restrictions, and also include a tracker that can track how far a user has walked or moved in the game.

The program used during this class is called Pycharm. Download the program for free here: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ Select the Community free version to install and follow the prompts on your computer. The instructor will help debug any issues on the first day of class.
