Last lesson we created an opening screen with some variables for our text adventure.

We are now going to add some more detail to our adventure sheet

If you didn't finish the code for the character attributes you can find it below the picture! Otherwise go to Task 1

Code

Here is the additional code you might need, you can use the line numbers to help you add this code in the correct place in your file

Lets try the following tasks:

Tick each task when you have successfully done it in the following list:

---

Objective: Create your own pixel art character and save it as a GIF file.

• Guidelines:
• Go to pixilart.com and design a character for your adventure.

Click on the image below to go to pixelart.com


• Download your creation as a GIF file and ensure it is saved in the same folder as your Python project file, named "My_Text_Adventure".

---



---

We will need to convert our image into a 161 x 161 pixel GIF in order for it to fit our Character Portrait box

To adjust the size of your image go to

and resize your GIF image to 161 x 161 pixels and then download it.
• Outcome: You will create and download a personalized pixel art GIF, understanding how to integrate custom assets into their programming projects.

Objective: Add your pixel art as the character's portrait in the Python program and handle any potential errors.

• Guidelines:
• Modify the existing code to display your pixel art in the portrait area using the turtle module.

---



---

• Implement an exception to catch any errors if the GIF fails to load and display an appropriate message.

Code



---


• You will be able to integrate external media using exceptions for better code robustness.

Objective: Add decorative boxes around the character's attributes for a professional-looking character sheet.

• Part 1:
• Let's firstly use turtle to draw boxes around the class and race attributes on the character sheet.

---



Code



---

• Part 2:
• Now let's do the and draw boxes around the other attributes on the character sheet.

---



Code



---

• Ensure the boxes are aligned and colored to enhance the sheet’s aesthetics.


• Outcome: You will enhance your coding skills by practicing structured drawing with turtle and improving your program’s visual appeal.

Objective: Create a patterned zigzag at the bottom of the character sheet and add an option to clear the screen.

• Guidelines:
• Write a function to plot a zigzag pattern using turtle.
• Let's firstly use turtle to draw boxes around the class and race attributes on the character sheet.

---



Code



---

• Implement a user prompt with screen.textinput() to clear the screen when desired.

• Outcome: you will develop more advanced turtle drawing techniques and implement interactive features to refine their user interface.

Task 4: Final Character Sheet

Next lesson we will be creating an image and adding it to our character sheet as well as making the whole thing more colourful and interesting.
