What is something extra?

We plan to add the following features:

• Additional obstacle: to enter dark room, will need flashlight
• Will need crowbar to access box with key
• Specify granny patrol rooms (patrols rooms randomly, once killed in one room - revives in another)
• Put charge for shotgun

What did we learn from doing this?

Learning Goals:

• Idea of Knowledge Base: facts and rules are stored in the knowledge base in a simple and clear form
• Pattern matching: it uses pattern matching to find queries in the knowledge base (similar to Haskell)
• Dynamic predicates: possible to determine predicates that can change during execution

Sukanya

Basic Implementation:

• Flashlight, Shotgun is available in room 1.
• Can pickup either (not both).
• Granny in room 6 - needs a shotgun to enter.
• Escape Key in room 7. Can pick up and escape

Shotgun with ammo - kills granny only if ammo is present, else player gets killed

• Put in recharge spots for shotgun (following the previous constraint)

Use of Knowledge Base

• In room 2, the player has to choose either Foo/Bar - The program randomly assigns foo/bar as the enemy.
• If the player chooses the foe, then the player has to restart, else the player can proceed with the game
• The player only has to choose the first time he enters room 2, other time (if the player returns to room 2), then no choice necessary

John

Additional Implementation:

• Ability to drop items into different rooms.

• Create another obstacle: Dark Room (room 3) - will need flashlight to enter (once lit - set tru and remains lit)
• Create an item for pickup - crowbar at position 5. Additional constraint - will need a crowbar to open box with the key at position 10

Aiden

Specify Granny patrol rooms:

• Walks randomly
• Once killed in one room, revived in another
