Help 2 - Gameplay

General Gameplay

Let's start defining our function play() so it initialises the game by:

  • printing a welcome message;
  • asking to the user how many statues he wants (n parameter);
  • asking to the user how many mirrors he wants (m parameter);
  • initialising the garden using the create_garden(n,m) function;
  • showing the garden using the show_garden(garden) function.

Example

By now, if you call your play() function at the bottom of your code, it should print the following output:

📋 Output
Welcome to my amazing game
How many statues should I put? 6
How many mirrors do you want? 5
Good luck trying to kick the rabbit out, you have 5 mirrors available for this game.
And here is your garden today:
X X X X X X X 

X           X 

X   5 3     X 

X     1 4 2 X 

X   R       X 

X         6 X 

X           X 

X X X X X X X

Then this function should start a loop where you ask the user what he wants to do:

  1. start the water;
  2. add a mirror;
  3. leave the game.

If the user wants to leave the game, it should stop the loop and print a goodbye message.

Example

You should now get this additional output:

📋 Output
What do you want to do?
1: start the water
2: add a mirror
3: leave the game
3
Bye Bye

Add Mirrors

This function should be called when the user chooses the option 2 and it should:

  • Use 3 inputs to ask the row, the column and the orientation of the mirror that the user wants to add;
  • Update the garden and print it.
