Introduction

Lord of the Rings is an object-oriented adventure game built on Python. It was made purely for educational and entertainment purposes.

How to Play

To start a game, simply type: $ ./main.py

"help" displays the game's total command list and should be referenced.

How to Test

To test the game, type: $ ./test.py

You should see output similar to the following:

Ran 96 tests in 0.005s

OK

(The number of tests may vary)

To run the tests (test.py), you must have the mock library installed: $ sudo pip install mock

Status

Game is fun but suffers seriously from poor user interface. Player reaches max level mid-way through the game.

Future Work

Future editions of this game should:

• Implement a better user interface that is more forgiving. Currently, users get frustated at the UI.
• Develop the ability to access certain "in world" commands in cities. For instance, user should be able to equip item in cities.
