Programming Assignment 11 Solution

Unlike the computer lab exercises, this is not a collaborative assignment. You must design, implement, and test your code on your own without the assistance of anyone other than the course instructor or TAs. In addition, you may not include solutions or portions of solutions obtained from any source other than those provided in class (so you are ONLY allowed to reuse examples from the textbook, lectures, or code you and your partner write to solve lab problems). Otherwise obtaining or providing solutions to any homework problem for this class is considered Academic Misconduct. See the syllabus and read section “Academic Dishonesty” for information concerning cheating. Always feel free to ask the instructor or the TAs if you are unsure of something. They will be more than glad to answer any questions that you have. We want you to be successful and learn so give us the chance to help you.

Instructions: This assignment consists of 2 problems, worth a total of 40 points. Solve the problems below by yourself, and put all functions in a single file called hw11.py. Use the signatures given for each class and function. We will be calling your functions with our test cases so you must use the information provided. If you have questions, ask!

Because homework files are submitted and tested electronically, the following are very important:

    • You follow all naming conventions mentioned in this homework description.

    • You submit the correct file, hw11.py, through Github by the due date deadline.

    • You follow the example input and output formats shown.

    • Regardless of how or where you develop your solutions, your programs should execute using the python3 command on CSELabs computers running the Linux operating system.

Push your work into Github under your own repo. The specific hosting directory should be: repo-<username>/hw11, where you replace <username> with your U of M user name. For instance, if your email address is bondx007@umn.edu, you should push your hw11 to this directory: repo-bondx007/hw11

The following will result in a score reduction equal to a percentage of the total possible points:

    • Incorrectly named/submitted source file, functions, or classes (20%)

    • Constraints not followed (40%)

    • Failure to execute due to syntax errors (30%)

Use the following template for EVERY function or method that you write that requires at least 5 lines of code. The template should appear just before the function/method. #==========================================

    • Purpose: (What does the function do?)

    • Input Parameter(s): (Each parameter by name and what it represents)

    • Return Value(s): (What gets returned? Possibilities?) #==========================================

Problem A. (30 points) RPG Fight!

You are designing a text-based Role-Playing Game (RPG), in which each character can have one of three jobs: Fighter, Thief, or Wizard. You need a way to keep track of the data for each character, and because a lot of the data and functionality is shared between characters, you have decided to use objects and inheritance to accomplish this.

Part 1:

First, you’ll need a base Adventurer class, which represents a jobless character template for all of the job classes to build off of.

The Adventurer class should have the following methods:

    • Constructor: The Adventurer class constructor should have the following signature:

__init__(self, name, level, strength, speed, power)

where name (the name of the Adventurer) should be a string, and level, strength, speed, and power should be integers that represent the Adventurer’s ability levels. The constructor should create instance variables to store the value of each of these arguments (self.name, self.level, self.strength, self.speed, and self.power, respectively), along with two more instance variables:

        ◦ self.HP, an integer representing the Adventurer’s remaining Hit Points, which should be initialized to the Adventurer’s level multiplied by 6.

        ◦ self.hidden, a boolean representing whether the Adventurer is currently hiding, which should be initialized to False.

    • __repr__(self)

You must overload the repr() method (similar to the str() method, except that it also changes what is output when you pass the object directly to the interpreter) for the Adventurer class so that it returns a string of the format:

"<Name> - HP: <Current HP>"
Be sure to match the spacing and format of the above string exactly or you will fail test cases and

lose points (note that the angled brackets are not part of the string itself, but indicate where you

should substitute in the actual name and hit points of your adventurer). Note that changing

__repr__ automatically changes the behavior of str() as well. See the sample output below

for an example.

    • attack(self,target)

The attack method takes as a parameter another Adventurer object target and does the following:

    • If the target is hidden, then this method should print the string:

"<Name> can't see <Target’s name>"

    • Otherwise, this method should the compute the damage the Adventurer does (their strength + 4), and subtract that value from the target’s HP. The method should update target’s hit points accordingly, and print out a message of the following format:

"<Name> attacks <Target’s name> for <Damage amount> damage"

Example: (italic text is printed,  bold text is returned)

    • thog = Adventurer("Thog",3,5,1,2)

    • repr(thog)

    • goku = Adventurer("Goku",20,10,7,9001)

    • goku

Goku - HP: 120

>>> thog.attack(goku)

    • str(goku)

'Goku - HP: 111'

    • goku.HP

111

    • goku.hidden = True

    • thog.attack(goku) Thog can't see Goku

    • goku.attack(thog)

    • print(thog) Thog - HP: 4

    • goku.attack(thog)

    • thog.HP

-10
Part 2:

Construct three additional classes named Fighter, Thief, and Wizard to represent each of the three possible specializations for an Adventurer. Each of these classes should inherit from the Adventurer class and extend it by overloading the constructor and attack methods.

Fighter:

    • The Fighter constructor must take the same parameters as its superclass constructor and pass them into the superclass constructor, and must then alter self.HP to be initialized to level * 12 rather than level * 6.
    • The overridden attack method for Fighter is identical to that of Adventurer except that a

Fighter does (2*strength + 6) damage to enemies that aren’t hidden rather than (strength + 4).

Thief:

    • The Thief constructor must take the same parameters as its superclass constructor and pass them into the superclass constructor, and must then alter self.HP to be initialized to level * 8 rather than level * 6, and set self.hidden to True.

    • The overridden attack method for Thief should call the superclass method of the same name in the case that the Thief is not hidden (that is, when self.hidden is False). If the Thief is hidden, then instead the following should occur:

        ◦ If both the Thief and the target are hidden, and the Thief’s speed is less than the target’s speed, then the Thief is unable to find their target and the method should print a message of the format:

"<Name> can't see <Target’s name>"

    • Otherwise, the Thief is able to perform a sneak attack. This does damage equal to (speed + level) * 5. It also causes the Thief and their target (if applicable) to no longer be hidden, and should print a message of the format:

"<Name> sneak attacks <Target’s name> for <Damage amount> damage"

Wizard:

    • The Wizard constructor must take the same parameters as its superclass constructor and pass them into the superclass constructor, and must then initialize a new instance variable, self.fireballs_left, initially equal to the Wizard’s power.

    • The overridden attack method for Wizard should call the superclass method of the same name in the case that the Wizard has no fireballs left (that is, self.fireballs_left is 0). If the Wizard does have fireballs left, the Wizard should instead cast a fireball:

        ◦ A fireball causes the target to no longer be hidden (if applicable), and does (level * 3) damage to the target. Remember to subtract one from the Wizard’s number of fireballs left. Casting a fireball should also print a message of the format:

"<Name> casts fireball on <Target’s name> for <Damage amt> damage"

Part 3:

Finally, create a function (not part of any class) called duel(adv1, adv2) which takes two Adventurer objects adv1 and adv2 as parameters and returns True if adv1 would win in a one-on-one fight, or False otherwise. Specifically, the function should do the following:

    • If at any point adv1 reaches 0 or fewer HP while adv2 still has more than 0 HP, duel should

print out adv1 and adv2, followed by a message of the form:

"<adv2’s name> wins!"

and then return False.

    • If at any point adv2 reaches 0 or fewer HP while adv1 still has more than 0 HP, duel should

print out adv1 and adv2, followed by a message of the form:

"<adv1’s name> wins!"

and then return True.

    • If adv1 and adv2 somehow reach 0 HP or below simultaneously (because they start the duel like that, or because they’re the same object) duel should print out adv1 and adv2, followed

by the message:

"Everyone loses!"

and then return False.

    • Otherwise, the duel should proceed: adv1 and adv2 should be printed out to see the current HP counts, then adv1 should attack adv2, and then adv2 should attack adv1. This should repeat until one of the above conditions is met.

    • Remember, you must check whether one or both Adventurers is at 0 or fewer HP after EVERY attack, not just every pair of attacks: if adv2 reaches 0 or fewer HP after adv1 attacks, then adv2 should not get a chance to retaliate.

Constraints:

    • Your file should only contain class definitions and the duel function. No code should be included outside of the classes/function (though, as usual, comments are fine).

    • You must name all classes, methods, and instance variables EXACTLY as specified.

    • You should not import any modules.

Problem B. (10 points) The Ultimate Showdown

You have decided to implement a tournament feature within your RPG. Since you want the winner to be somewhat unpredictable, you come up with a scheme to keep the playing field as balanced as possible despite widely varying ability levels: for each round, the two Adventurers with the highest remaining HP will be forced to fight each other until one of them is eliminated. This will hopefully keep the weaker characters in the tournament until the stronger characters have worn each other down.

Create a function called tournament(adv_list), which takes in a single parameter, a list of Adventurer objects adv_list, and pits them against each other until there is a single winner to return. Specifically:

    • If adv_list is empty, tournament should return None.

    • If adv_list contains exactly one Adventurer object, tournament should return that

Adventurer object.

    • Otherwise, tournament should do the following until there is only one Adventurer object remaining:

        ◦ Sort adv_list by current HP. You may want to create a key function that returns the current HP of a given Adventurer object to use with the built-in sorted(), or overload the < operator for Adventurer, similar to Homework 10.

        ◦ Pass the second highest HP Adventurer and the highest HP Adventurer into the duel function (in that order, so that the second highest HP Adventurer gets to strike first). You may assume that no Adventurer object is in the tournament list multiple times or entered the tournament list while already at 0 or less HP, so duel is guaranteed to have a clear winner.

        ◦ Whichever Adventurer lost the duel is removed from adv_list, and the process repeats. Remember to re-sort the list, as the winner of the duel may now have substantially less HP.

Constraints:

    • Your file should only contain class definitions and functions. No code should be included outside of the classes/functions (though, as usual, comments are fine).

    • You must name all classes, methods, and instance variables EXACTLY as specified.

    • You should not import any modules.
