So I started to write my pseudo code and got the general list down by putting in the comments where I thought things should logically go and decided to go on a short walk to clear up some brain fog I’d been having today.
On my walk I was running through the code in my mind and as I envisioned the IDE page and the comments in my mind.
I began to wonder how I was going to accomplish the tasks I needed to check for isograms, etc. and I think that I was able to basically distil the game’s core foundation down to 4 if/else statements.
Feel free to comment and let me know what you think (obviously as I follow along on the lectures I will be proven wrong/right!)
I don’t know the keywords for isogram or the keywords to use to check the number of letters etc, but I imagine it would go something like this
/* The basic game can be completed with 4 if/else statements;
1- if (Input == isogram)
{return true;}
else
{ PrintLine(TEXT("That's not an isogram"));
PlayGame;
}
2- if (InputLetterCount == WordLetterCount)
{return true;}
else
{
PrintLine(TEXT("wrong number of letters"));
PlayGame;
}
3- if (input == HiddenWord)
{ PrintLine (TEXT("You win!"));
}
else
4- { if (Lives >= 0)
{
--Lives;
PrintLine (TEXT("Wrong word! you now have " Lives " left!\nPress enter to try again"));
}
else
{ PrintLine (TEXT("Nope! Not it!\nYou've run out of lives\nGame Over...\nPress enter to play again!\nYou can quit by pressing Tab.");
PrintLine HiddenWord;
}
