Inspiration- Games such as banner saga where the player follows a story and then makes decisions that will impact the outcome of the story are very popular and one of the most interesting types of games to play.
What it does- The program runs through a story mode where the user is asked to make certain calls and texts that will change what happens next in the story and eventually the ending.
How I built it- The whole program was written in python using sublime text three.
Challenges I ran into- Coming into this event, I had absolutely no previous experience in coding or programming. I spent hours on code academy, learning the python language. Essentially not knowing what I was doing, writing the code was a very long and tedious process. Often when I would try to run my program, there would be errors and I would have no idea what to do. Then I would have to look at my entire written code in order to figure out what the problem was.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of- I am proud that I was able to come from having no experience in coding or programming to being able to create and application that successfully runs an interesting and fun game.
What I learned-I learned 30% of the python language and how to troubleshoot, problem solve and incorporate the input of others into my work.
What's next for Prison Break- The first step in prison breaks advancement is some music that goes along with the plot line. The music could change to fit the tone of the events occurring at that point of the story. Also, Prison Break would need an expansion that would allow for more scenarios
