spooky house

Mira made a small graphical adventure-game using Easygui and python. In the game adventure2.py , the player has the task to survive 60 minutes whithout dying by hunger, fear or loss of health.

prerequisites: Miras's game needs Python and the python modul easygui. Easygui is included in the zip-file of the download.

pictures in the game are from Wikipedia or created by Mira and Teresa (faces). For pictures not from Wikipedia this creative-commons license apply: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/at/

Mira's sister Teresa made the German versions of this games and German screencasts.

using a big directory for each room, containing directorys and lists for the possible actions the player can undertake in each room, adventure2 has an easy to maintain and easy to expand data structure.

the predecessor of adventure2 was written in German and made out of if-elif-else blocks for each room in the game. While the game is not visible different for the player, the adventure1 source code is harder to read and much harder to extend/maintain than the adventure2 source code
