In this lab, you’ll build a game character stats tracker. The program will allow you to create a character with specific attributes, update those attributes, and retrieve the current stats of the character.
Objective: Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.
User Stories:
-
Create a class named GameCharacter that represents a game character and manages character stats.
-
When instantiated, a new GameCharacter object should have the following attributes:
_name set to the string given at the moment of the instantiation._health set to 100._mana set to 50._level set to 1.
-
Create a name property for read-only access to the character’s name.
-
For the health property:
- Define a getter that returns the current health.
- Define a setter that prevents health from being set below
0, and caps the health at 100.
-
For the mana property:
- Define a getter that returns the current mana.
- Define a setter that prevents mana from being set below
0, and caps the mana at 50.
-
Create a getter for level to return the character’s current level.
-
Define a method named level_up that:
- Increases the character’s level by 1.
- Resets health to
100 and mana to 50 using their corresponding property setters.
- Prints a message in the form of
<name> leveled up to <level>! (where <name> and <level> should be replaced by the character’s name and new level, respectively).
-
Define a __str__ method that returns a formatted string including:
- The character’s name.
- The character’s level.
- The character’s current health.
- The character’s current mana.
For example, a character named
Kratos, right after the instantiation, should be represented as the following:
Name: Kratos
Level: 1
Health: 100
Mana: 50
Usage example
hero = GameCharacter('Kratos') # Creates a new character named Kratos
print(hero) # Displays the character's stats
hero.health -= 30 # Decreases health by 30
hero.mana -= 10 # Decreases mana by 10
print(hero) # Displays the updated stats
hero.level_up() # Levels up the character
print(hero) # Displays the stats after leveling up
