In Python The 'if' statement is used to conditionally execute a statement. In other words we look at a statement(conditional) and decide if that conditional statement is true or false,we then do one thing when the condition is true and something else when the condition is false.

Activity 1

1. Copy the code above, then Run it to see what happens .
2. Screenshot or save the link into your PowerPoint

Notice how when we compare if things are equal in python we use == not a single =.

<

We use conditional statements in a python if statement.

• If the condition is True then we do something
• else we do something else.

Look at the conditional statement in the diamond below, should we DO THIS or DO THAT?

What about this next one, should we DO THIS or DO THAT?

Sometimes we want to have more that two opions when we make a choice we can do that in python by using an elif statement.

Understanding Python's elif Statement

In Python, the elif statement is used for multiple conditions in a decision-making structure. It stands for "else if," and it comes after an if statement and before an else statement.

Here is an example of how elif is used:

if temperature > 30:
    print("It's a hot day.")
elif temperature > 20:
    print("It's a nice day.")
elif temperature > 10:
    print("It's a bit cold.")
else:
    print("It's cold.")
    

In this example, Python checks each condition in order. If a condition is true, it runs the code inside that block and skips the rest.

Exercise: Weather Reporter

Write a Python program using if, elif, and else statements to recommend an outfit based on the temperature.

• If the temperature is above 25 degrees, recommend wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
• If the temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees, suggest a long-sleeve shirt and jeans.
• If the temperature is below 15 degrees, suggest a coat and a warm hat.

Here's a structure to help you start:

temperature = # Add a temperature value here

# Write your if, elif, and else statements below
    

Once you've written your program, test it with different temperatures to see the outfit recommendations.

Python Text Adventure Task

Overall objective: In this task, you will use your knowledge of Python's if statement to create your first choices for your text adventure game . "

Iintroduction example

You stand at the edge of a dense, ancient forest, its towering trees shrouded in mist that dances in the pale moonlight. The air is thick with the earthy scent of moss and the distant murmur of a hidden stream. Before you lies a forgotten path, overgrown with ivy and covered in fallen leaves, disappearing into the heart of the woods. It beckons you with an eerie allure, promising secrets and treasures untold. But be warned, brave adventurer, for this forest holds mysteries of both wonder and peril. Will you:

• 1. Venture Deeper: Venture deeper into the forest, following the winding path, driven by curiosity and the promise of adventure?
• 2. Seek Shelter: Turn back and seek shelter for the night, sensing the dangers lurking within the darkness?
• 3. Light a Torch: Light a torch and cautiously explore the immediate surroundings, wary of the unknown dangers that may lie nearby?

Part 2: Creating your Text Adventure in python

8. Open your Python development environment (e.g., Thonny).
9. Create a new Python file (e.g., "text_adventure_game.py").
10. Use Python to implement your captivating introduction into the game by using a print statement. After the introduction, give the player choices that will affect the story's progression.
11. After your introduction try including variables to store player information (e.g., name, score) and input statements to interact with the player.
12. Use input to collect the answer to the players choice
13. Save your Python file. Select "File" > "Save As" from the Thonny menu.
14. Choose your OneDrive school account as the location to save the file. Navigate to your OneDrive folder and create a new folder if needed. Name the file "MyTextAdventure.py" (note the ".py" extension).
15. Save the file in your OneDrive folder.
16. Finally, test your introduction by running your Python program within Thonny. Make sure it welcomes the player, sets the scene, and waits for their response before proceeding to the actual game.

Tips:

• For the creative writing part, let your imagination run wild! Experiment with different ideas and themes.
• For the Python extension, consider using variables to store player-related information and input statements to gather player choices.
• Read your introduction aloud to ensure it flows smoothly and creates the desired atmosphere.
• Engage the player's senses by describing sights, sounds, and emotions.
• Consider the target audience and adjust your writing style accordingly.

Once you've completed both parts of this task, you will have crafted a captivating introduction and created an interactive text adventure game, showcasing your creative writing skills and your ability to use variables and input in Python.
