Step 5 – Over to you
You now, probably, have a working escape room.
So, what next?
Here are some ideas:
- Have a look at your descriptions. Can you add a bit more atmosphere to them?
- Can you use concatenation to use the player's name a bit more – see Part One – Step 5 to remind yourself how to do that
- Can you add more options in to your IF - ELSE blocks? Are there other things the player might do that are reasonable?
- How about more hints?
- Or giving them things to pick up and use?
- Or more peril and danger? Using lives?
- Or something else?
Once you can program the basics you can take this as far as you want to. Within reason.
You can use a tool like Online Python to code at home. Or on the bus (google "Python online" – there are loads of tools out there). You just need to copy and paste your code into a text file to keep it saved.
That's it. It's up to you now.
