Question

In 1-2 sentences, write out the 6 basic different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and a roadmap for creating a game. Include one function or routine you would code to test it such as a simple if/else statement you could write as if it is the entire code for a game and use that as a test case for the entire SDLC. (2 points)

Answer 1

The six basic phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) are requirements gathering and analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. A roadmap for creating a game includes defining game mechanics and story, designing levels and characters, coding game features, testing gameplay for bugs and performance, launching the game, and providing ongoing updates and improvements.

For a simple test case, you could use the following code snippet to check if the player's score meets a winning condition:

score = 50  # Example score

if score >= 100:
    print("You win!")
else:
    print("Keep trying!")

This can serve as a basic validation point during the testing phase of the SDLC.
