Submission 6: Structures

Objective:

Introduce structures to define complex data types, enabling you to represent detailed game entities like items, characters, or enemies. Structures allow you to group related variables under one name, providing a way to manage more intricate data and enhance the richness of your game.

Instructions:

1. Define a Structure:

   • Create a Struct for Items:

     • Define a structure that represents an item in your game, including attributes such as name, description, and any relevant properties like power or value.

   • Initialize Game Items:

     • Create instances of these structures to represent different items that can be found or used within the game.

2. Use Structures in the Game:

   • Modify Inventory to Hold Structures:

     • Update your inventory array to store these item structures instead of simple data types like strings.

   • Add Structured Items to Inventory:

     • When the player acquires an item, add the corresponding structure to the inventory array.

3. Interact with Structured Data:

   • Update Inventory Display Function:

     • Modify your function that displays the inventory to include the additional details provided by the item's structure, such as descriptions or stats.

   • Utilize Item Attributes:

     • Incorporate the attributes of items into gameplay mechanics. For example, an item's power could affect combat outcomes or unlock new areas.

4. Player or Enemy Structures (Optional Advanced Feature):

   • Create a Struct for Characters:

     • Define structures for the player and potential enemies, including attributes like health, strength, and defense.

   • Implement Character Interactions:

     • Use these structures to manage interactions such as combat, where the attributes influence the results of encounters.

Submission Requirements:

• An updated program that defines and uses at least one structure.

• The inventory system now stores and manages structured item data.

• The game correctly manipulates structures and accesses their attributes.

• Code is well-commented, explaining how structures enhance data management and gameplay.
