Quest 1: Master Task Control (40 XP – 20 min)

Time to give QuestBot the power to help you stay organized by removing completed tasks!

Step 1: Import AI Intelligence

First, let’s add the power of randomness (which is a key part of AI!):

# QuestBot Day 3 - The Complete AI Assistant
import random  # This gives us AI-like randomness

print("🤖 SYSTEM INITIALIZING...")
print("✨ QuestBot v3.0 ONLINE - Full AI Powers Activated!")
print("")

Step 2: Create the Wisdom Database

Every good AI needs knowledge to draw from:

# QuestBot's motivational wisdom database
quotes = [
    "Keep slaying, Recruit! 🔥",
    "You're unstoppable! 💪",
    "Forge your future! ⚡",
    "Every mission brings you closer to mastery! 🎯",
    "Small steps, giant leaps! 🚀",
    "Code today, conquer tomorrow! 💻",
    "Your potential is infinite! ⭐",
    "Progress over perfection! 📈"
]

Step 3: Build on Your Foundation

Use your Day 1 & 2 code as the base:

# Greeting system (from Day 1)
name = input("What's your Recruit name? ")
vibe = input("Pick a vibe (epic, chill, heroic): ")
print(f"\nSalute, {name}! QuestBot is ready in {vibe} mode!")

# Task collection system (from Day 2)
tasks = []
print("\n📝 Mission Log System ACTIVATED!")
print("Ready to log your missions! Type 'done' when finished.")
print("-" * 50)

while True:
    task = input("Log a mission (or 'done' to finish): ")
    if task.lower() == "done":
        break
    tasks.append(task)
    print(f"✅ Added: {task}")

# Display current missions
print(f"\n🎯 {name}'s Epic Mission Log:")
print("=" * 40)
for i, task in enumerate(tasks, 1):
    print(f"Mission {i}: {task}")
print("=" * 40)

Step 4: Add Task Deletion Power

Now for the new feature – task management:

# Task deletion system
if len(tasks) > 0:  # Only offer deletion if there are tasks
    print("\n🗑️  Mission Complete? Let's clean up your log!")
    delete = input("Delete a completed mission? Enter number (or 'no'): ")

    if delete.isdigit():  # Check if they entered a number
        task_num = int(delete)  # Convert to integer
        if 1 <= task_num <= len(tasks):  # Valid range?
            removed = tasks.pop(task_num - 1)  # Remove task (subtract 1 for list index)
            print(f"🎉 Mission Accomplished! Vanquished: '{removed}'")
        else:
            print("❌ Invalid mission number. Try again next time!")
    elif delete.lower() != "no":
        print("🤔 I didn't understand that. Use a number or 'no'.")

🎮 Test Your Task Control:

  1. Add 3-4 tasks
  2. Try deleting task number 2
  3. Try invalid numbers (0, 99, etc.)
  4. Try typing “no”
  5. Watch QuestBot handle everything smoothly!

Checkpoint: QuestBot can intelligently delete tasks and handle errors

Quest 2: Add AI Wisdom (30 XP – 15 min)

Time to give QuestBot a brain! Every interaction should end with personalized motivation.

Step 1: Display Updated Mission Log

After any deletion, show the updated list:

# Show updated mission log
if len(tasks) > 0:
    print(f"\n📋 Updated Mission Log:")
    print("=" * 30)
    for i, task in enumerate(tasks, 1):
        print(f"Mission {i}: {task}")
    print("=" * 30)
else:
    print("\n🎉 Mission Log is clear! Ready for new challenges!")

Step 2: Activate AI Wisdom Mode

Here’s where the “AI” really shines:

# AI Wisdom System
print(f"\n🌟 QuestBot's Daily Wisdom for {name}:")
print("-" * 35)
wisdom = random.choice(quotes)  # AI selects perfect motivation!
print(f"💭 '{wisdom}'")
print("-" * 35)
print("\n🚀 Stay focused and keep building your future!")

🎮 Test the AI:

  • Run your program multiple times
  • Each run should show a different motivational quote
  • This randomness makes it feel like real AI interaction!

Checkpoint: QuestBot provides AI-powered motivation

Quest 3: Portfolio Polish (30 XP – 25 min)

Time to make this project portfolio-ready! Professional developers always document their work.

Step 1: Complete Day 3 Code

Here’s your final QuestBot with all features:

# QuestBot Day 3 - The Complete AI Assistant
import random

print("🤖 SYSTEM INITIALIZING...")
print("✨ QuestBot v3.0 ONLINE - Full AI Powers Activated!")
print("")

# Motivational wisdom database
quotes = [
    "Keep slaying, Recruit! 🔥",
    "You're unstoppable! 💪", 
    "Forge your future! ⚡",
    "Every mission brings you closer to mastery! 🎯",
    "Small steps, giant leaps! 🚀",
    "Code today, conquer tomorrow! 💻",
    "Your potential is infinite! ⭐",
    "Progress over perfection! 📈"
]

# Greeting system
name = input("What's your Recruit name? ")
vibe = input("Pick a vibe (epic, chill, heroic): ")
print(f"\nSalute, {name}! QuestBot is ready in {vibe} mode!")

# Task collection
tasks = []
print("\n📝 Mission Log System ACTIVATED!")
print("Ready to log your missions! Type 'done' when finished.")
print("-" * 50)

while True:
    task = input("Log a mission (or 'done' to finish): ")
    if task.lower() == "done":
        break
    tasks.append(task)
    print(f"✅ Added: {task}")

# Display mission log
print(f"\n🎯 {name}'s Epic Mission Log:")
print("=" * 40)
for i, task in enumerate(tasks, 1):
    print(f"Mission {i}: {task}")
print("=" * 40)

# Task deletion
if len(tasks) > 0:
    print("\n🗑️  Mission Complete? Let's clean up your log!")
    delete = input("Delete a completed mission? Enter number (or 'no'): ")

    if delete.isdigit():
        task_num = int(delete)
        if 1 <= task_num <= len(tasks):
            removed = tasks.pop(task_num - 1)
            print(f"🎉 Mission Accomplished! Vanquished: '{removed}'")

            # Show updated log
            if len(tasks) > 0:
                print(f"\n📋 Updated Mission Log:")
                print("=" * 30)
                for i, task in enumerate(tasks, 1):
                    print(f"Mission {i}: {task}")
                print("=" * 30)
            else:
                print("\n🎉 Mission Log is clear! Ready for new challenges!")
        else:
            print("❌ Invalid mission number. Try again next time!")
    elif delete.lower() != "no":
        print("🤔 I didn't understand that. Use a number or 'no'.")

# AI Wisdom System
print(f"\n🌟 QuestBot's Daily Wisdom for {name}:")
print("-" * 35)
wisdom = random.choice(quotes)
print(f"💭 '{wisdom}'")
print("-" * 35)
print("\n🚀 Stay focused and keep building your future!")
print("\n💻 QuestBot signing off. Great work today, Recruit!")
