While reviewing the code for the "Text based Adventure Game," I noticed a logical issue in the make_choice function that may affect the game's flow when handling user inputs.
Issue Description:
The make_choice function is designed to prompt the user to choose from a given set of options. However, there's currently no explicit handling for cases where the user inputs a number that exceeds the range of available options. For example, if there are 2 options and the user enters '3', the game accepts this input without any error message or re-prompt.
Steps to Reproduce:
Run the game and reach any point where a choice is to be made (e.g., choosing between taking the bus or walking).
When prompted for input, enter a numeric value that exceeds the number of available options.
Observe the game's response to this input.
Expected Behavior:
The game should prompt the user again for a valid choice within the range of available options.
Actual Behavior:
The game accepts out-of-range numeric inputs without any error message, potentially leading to unexpected game behavior or missed game paths.
Suggested Fix:
Modify the while loop condition in the make_choice function to explicitly check if the user input is within the range of available options. Here's a modified code snippet:
while True:
try:
choice = int(input("Votre choix: "))
if 1 <= choice <= len(options):
break
else:
print(f"Veuillez choisir un numéro entre 1 et {len(options)}.")
except ValueError:
print("Veuillez entrer un numéro valide.")
This modification ensures that the input is both an integer and within the valid range of options.
I hope this information is helpful for improving the game's user input handling.
