Choose Your Own Adventure

Due 11/27 at 11:59

Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) novels allow readers to make choices that impact the story. In this project, you will make your own CYOA game.

Your program must meet the following specifications:

• Store your story data in dictionary where each key represents a page number and each value is a dictionary with the following data:
  • text: The text of this “page” of your “book”
  • options: A list of dictionaries with the following key/value pairs:
    • text: The text displayed to the user
    • page: The page number the user will go to next OR None if this option ends the story.
• Use a loop to do the following:
  • Print page text
  • Print options
  • Get user input
  • If user input was a valid option, continue to page specified in next
  • If user input was invalid, print a warning and show the options again
• Your story must contain at least 10 “pages” (dictionary entries)

This is a great chance to flex your creative muscles 💪🏻 Have fun with it!!

Example Story

Here is a simple example of a 2-page story dictionary (remember, yours must be at least 10 pages):

story = {
  1: {
    "text": "Hello, world! It's a great day for looping, don't you agree?",
    "options": [
      {
        "text": "I agree 👍🏻",
        "page": 1
      },
      {
        "text": "I disagree 👎🏻",
        "page": 2
      }
    ]
  },
  2: {
    "text": "Well, we can agree to disagree.",
    "options": [
      {
        "text": "THE END",
        "page": None
      }
    ]
  }
}
