 Software Development
Life Cycle (SDLC)

1. Introduction to SDLC

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a

structured methodology used by software developers to
design, develop, and maintain software applications.
For "Arena of Games," a Python-based gaming
application developed for Class 12 Computer Science,
the SDLC ensures a systematic approach to meeting
educational objectives through engaging gameplay.

Overview of "Arena of Games"

"Arena of Games" is designed to offer Class 12 students
a blend of entertainment and educational value through
three distinct games:

Quiz Game: Tests general knowledge across various

topics.
Guess the Thing Game: Challenges players to identify
objects based on hints.
Rock Paper Scissors Game: A classic game of chance
and strategy.
Objectives

The primary objectives of "Arena of Games" are:

1.)Enhance educational experience through interactive

gameplay.

2.)Reinforce learning in a fun and engaging manner.

3.)Utilise Python programming for game development

to facilitate ease of use and flexibility.

2. Phase 1: Planning

The Planning phase sets the foundation for the entire

project, defining its scope, objectives, and resources
required.
It ensures that I have a clear understanding of what
needs to be done and lays out the plan for the next
steps.

1.)Define Project Scope: Specify the features and

functionalities of each game within the "Arena of
Games." For instance, the Quiz Game will include
multiple choice questions based on General Knowledge.
2.)Collecting information: Engage with teachers,
students, and potential users to gather their input and
requirements. This helps in developing a creative and
efficient mindset for the project .

3.)Scheduling tasks :Assigning time , labour and the

technology and hardwares needed for the proper
development of the project .
 CODE STRUCTURE

1.)MAIN APPLICATION

Function Definition

Function Definition: This line defines a function

named main_menu(). Functions in Python are blocks
of reusable code that perform a specific task.
Infinite Loop: The while True: statement creates
an infinite loop that allows the program to keep
showing the main menu until the user decides to exit.

Displaying the Main Menu

Print Statements: This part contains multiple

print() statements that display a welcome message
and the list of games available for the user to choose
from. Each game is associated with a number for user
selection.

User Input for Game Selection

Input Prompt: This line prompts the user to enter a

number corresponding to the game they wish to play.
Type Conversion: The input is taken as a string by
default, so int() is used to convert it into an integer.

Game Selection Logic

Game Imports and Function Calls: If the user selects

a number between 1 and 3, the corresponding game
module is imported, and its main function is called.
This is where the game logic is executed.
Exit option and invalid input syntax

Exit Option: If the user selects 4, a goodbye message is

displayed, and the loop is exited with break.
Invalid Input Handling: If the user enters an invalid
number, an error message is printed.

Function Definition for Restart Prompt

Function Definition: This defines a function named

restart_prompt(), which will handle whether the
user wants to restart the game after exiting.
Infinite Loop: Similar to the main_menu(), this
function also runs an infinite loop until the user
provides a valid response.
Restart Logic

User Decision Handling: Based on the user’s input:

● If the input is "yes," the main_menu() function

is called again to restart the game selection process.
● If the input is "no," a farewell message is printed,
and the loop is exited.
● If the input is invalid, an error message prompts the
user to enter a correct response.
Starting the Game

Function Calls: The last two lines call the

main_menu() function to start the game when the
script is executed. After the user exits,
restart_prompt() is called to ask whether they
want to restart the app or exit completely.
Summary
● Modular Structure: The program is structured
into functions that handle specific tasks, making it
easier to read and maintain.

● Game Selection and Restart: The user is

presented with a menu of games, can select one to
play, and is prompted afterward if they want to
restart or exit the application.
This approach makes the code user-friendly and
interactive, ensuring a smooth gaming experience.

2.) QUIZ GAME

Function Definition and Question Setup
Function Definition: The line def quiz_game():
defines a new function named quiz_game. This
encapsulates all logic for the quiz.

Questions Tuple: A tuple named questions is

created to store each quiz question as a string. Tuples
are used here since the number of questions is fixed and
won’t change.

Options and Answers Setup

Options Tuple: Another tuple named options is

created, where each element is a tuple of possible
answer choices for the corresponding question. This
provides multiple-choice answers.

Answers Tuple: A tuple named answers stores the

correct answers for each question. Each answer
corresponds to the respective question in the
questions and options tuples.
Variables for Game State

Guesses List: An empty list named guesses is

initialised to store the user's answers.

Score Variable: A variable named score is initialised

to zero. This will track the number of correct answers
the player provides.

Question Number Variable: The variable

question_num is initialised to zero, which keeps
track of the current question index during the game.

Looping Through Questions

For Loop for Questions: The for loop iterates over

each question in the questions tuple.
Question Output: Each question is printed to the
console.

Inner For Loop for Options: Another loop iterates

through the corresponding options (using
question_num as the index) and prints each option
to the console.

User Input and Answer Checking

User Input: The program prompts the user to input

their guess for the answer. The input is converted to
uppercase using upper() to standardise the
comparison.

Quit Option: If the user inputs 'QUIT', a message is

displayed, and the function returns early, allowing the
user to exit back to the main menu.
Storing Guesses: The user’s guess is appended to the
guesses list for later evaluation.

Correctness Check: The user’s guess is checked

against the correct answer:
● If the guess is correct, the score is incremented by
1, and a message indicating correctness is printed.
● If incorrect, a message indicates the wrong answer
and displays the correct one.

Increment Question Number: question_num is

incremented by 1 to move to the next question.

Displaying Results
Results Header: Lines print a header indicating the
results section.

Displaying Correct Answers: The program prints all

the correct answers stored in the answers tuple.

Displaying User Guesses: The program prints all the

guesses the user made during the quiz.

Calculating Final Score: The final score is calculated

as a percentage based on the number of correct answers
divided by the total number of questions.

Score Output: Finally, the calculated score is printed as

a percentage.

Summary
The quiz_game function effectively implements a
multiple-choice quiz where users can answer questions,
see their results, and have the option to return to the
main menu at any time. This structure provides a simple
and interactive experience while maintaining clarity and
ease of understanding.
3.)TIC - TAC -TOE GAME

Displaying the Board

FunctionDefinition: The display_board(board)

function is responsible for printing the current state of
the Tic Tac Toe board to the console.

Formatting the Output: The board is printed in a 3x3

grid format:
● Each row of the board is displayed with vertical
bars (|) separating the columns.
● Dashes (---) are used to separate the rows
visually.

New Lines: The print("\n") calls at the beginning

and end add extra spacing for better readability.
Checking for a Win

Function Definition: The check_win(board,

player) function checks if the specified player has
won the game.

Win Combinations: A list of tuples called

win_combinations is defined, where each tuple
represents the indices of the board that need to be the
same for a win (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal).

Checking Combinations: The function iterates through

each winning combination:
 ● If the values at the specified indices a, b, and c in
the board list are all equal to the player's mark
(either 'X' or 'O'), it returns True, indicating a win.

No Win Case: If no winning combination is found, the

function returns False.

Checking for a Draw

Function Definition: The check_draw(board)

function checks if the game has resulted in a draw.

Draw Condition: It returns True if there are no empty

spaces left on the board (i.e., the board does not contain
any spaces ' '), indicating that all positions are filled.
If there are still empty spaces, it returns False.
Main Game Loop

Function Definition: The tic_tac_toe() function

encapsulates the main logic for the game.

Board Initialization: A list named board is created,

initialised with 9 spaces to represent the empty
positions on the board.

Current Player: The variable current_player is

initialised to 'X', indicating that player X starts the
game.

Infinite Loop: The while True: loop keeps the

game running until it is explicitly exited.
Player Input and Move Validation

Player Input: The program prompts the current player

to enter their desired position (1-9) or type 'quit' to exit.

Quit Command: If the player enters 'quit', a message is

printed, and the function returns to exit the game,
effectively going back to the main menu.

Position Adjustment: The input position is converted

from a string to an integer and adjusted to match the list
index by subtracting 1.
Validation: The code checks if the entered position is
valid (within range) and if that position is not already
taken.
If the move is invalid, an error message is displayed,
and the loop continues to prompt the player for a valid
input.

Making a Move and Checking Game State

Making a Move: The current player’s mark is placed in

the chosen position on the board.

Check for Win: After the move, the

check_win(board, current_player)
function is called.
If it returns True, the board is displayed, and a win
message is printed. The loop is then exited using
break.

Check for Draw: If no player has won, the

check_draw(board) function is called.

If it returns True, indicating a draw, the final state of

the board is displayed, and a draw message is printed,
followed by exiting the loop.

Switching Players: If the game is still ongoing (no win

or draw), the current player is switched. If it was 'X', it
changes to 'O', and vice versa.

Summary
This implementation of Tic Tac Toe allows two players
to take turns making moves on a 3x3 board.
The code includes functions to display the board, check
for a winner, and determine if the game has ended in a
draw.
 The main loop handles player input, validates moves,
and updates the game state accordingly.
The game continues until a player wins or the board is
full, leading to a draw.

4.) STONE PAPER SCISSORS GAME

Importing the Random Module

● Importing the Random Module: This line

imports the random module, which allows the
program to generate random choices for the
computer.

Function Definition
FunctionDefinition:Therock_paper_scissors()

function encapsulates all the logic for the Rock, Paper,

Scissors game.

Defining Choices

Defining Choices: A list named choices contains the

three possible options in the game: rock, paper, and
scissors.
Welcome Message

Welcome Message: This line prints a welcome message

to inform players that they are starting the game.

Infinite loop
Infinite Loop: The while True: statement creates
an infinite loop that will continue until the player
chooses to quit.

Player Input

Player Input: The program prompts the player to input

their choice of "rock", "paper", or "scissors".

The lower() method is used to convert the input to

lowercase, making it case-insensitive.
Quit Command

Quit Command: If the player types "quit", a message

is printed to inform them that they are returning to the
main menu, and the function exits with return.
Input Validation

Input Validation: This condition checks if the player's

choice is not in the choices list.

If it's invalid, an error message is printed, and the loop

continues, prompting for input again.

Computer’s Choice

Computer Choice:

Therandom.choice(choices) function selects a

random choice from the choices list for the
computer's move.
Display Computer’s Choice

Display Computer's Choice: The program prints out

what the computer chose for the round.

Checking for Tie

Checking for Tie: This condition checks if the player's

choice is the same as the computer's choice.
If they match, it prints a message indicating a tie.

Checking for Player Win

 ● Checking for Player Win: This block uses
conditional checks to see if the player's choice
beats the computer's choice according to the game's
rules.
If the player wins, it prints a winning message.

Computer Win Message

Computer Win Message: If neither of the previous

conditions (tie or player win) is met, this else statement
executes, indicating that the computer has won.

 TESTING PROCEDURES

Student 1: Riya – Focus on User Interface and Usability

Testing Procedure

Riya, interested in user interface and accessibility, tested the

app to see how intuitive and user-friendly it was. She followed

these steps:

1. Launched the application and navigated through each

menu option to test ease of navigation.

2. Played each game (Quiz, Tic Tac Toe, Rock, Paper,

Scissors) to check if instructions were clear.

3. Tested different inputs, including incorrect and

unexpected entries, to see how the app responded.

4. Used the "quit" function in each game to test if it

correctly returned her to the main menu.

5. Played each game to completion to test if the app gave

proper feedback at the end.

Review

Riya found the app easy to navigate and appreciated that

instructions were provided before each game. She liked the

clear layout and straightforward prompts. However, she

noticed that if a user enters an invalid choice (like letters

instead of numbers in the main menu), the app could get

stuck or display an error. She recommended adding error

handling to guide the user back to the correct input options.

Overall, Riya felt the app was accessible for most students

but suggested adding a brief “how to play” section before

each game to make it even more user-friendly.

Student 2: Aman – Testing for Code Efficiency and Logic

Testing Procedure

Aman, interested in the logic and code structure, tested the

app’s performance and checked if it was logically sound. He

focused on:

1. Examining each game’s code for readability and

organisation.
 2. Running each game multiple times to test if it could

handle repeated inputs and function without bugs.

3. Testing the Tic Tac Toe game’s winning conditions by

trying different combinations.

4. Checking the Rock, Paper, Scissors game for

randomness in the computer’s choices.

5. Observing the Quiz Game’s scoring system to ensure it

calculated results accurately.

Review

Aman found that the code was modular and organised,

making it easy to understand and modify. He appreciated

that each game had its own function, which kept the code

structured. He noticed, however, that the Quiz Game could

benefit from a larger pool of questions to avoid repetition.

Additionally, he recommended adding an option for users to

reset the Tic Tac Toe board after a round ends without

restarting the whole app. Aman suggested these minor

improvements would make the app more efficient and

engaging for users who wanted to play for longer periods.

Student 3: Simran – Focus on Gameplay and Engagement

Simran tested the app with a focus on engagement, fun, and

game variety. She approached the app as a casual gamer,

following these steps:

1. Played each game fully to experience the flow and

enjoyability.

2. Repeated the Quiz Game to see if there was variation in

questions.

3. Played Tic Tac Toe with a friend to check if it was

engaging for two players.

4. Tested Rock, Paper, Scissors several times to confirm the

randomness of outcomes.

5. Checked if there was any scoring or reward system that

encouraged replay.
Review

Simran enjoyed the games and felt that the app was fun and

engaging, especially for short breaks. She liked the Quiz

Game’s multiple-choice format but noted that more questions

or categories would make it more interesting for repeated

play. For Tic Tac Toe, she found it engaging but recommended

adding a scoring system to track multiple rounds. For Rock,

Paper, Scissors, she suggested adding a "best of 3" option to

make it feel more competitive. Simran concluded that the app

was great for students looking for a mix of fun and learning

but could benefit from a few additional features to improve

replayability.

Student 4: Rahul – Testing for Bugs and Error Handling

Testing Procedure

Rahul focused on identifying potential bugs and ensuring that

the app handled errors gracefully. His testing steps included:

1. Inputting incorrect options in the main menu to see if

the app would handle them correctly.

 2. Testing edge cases in each game, like trying to place a

Tic Tac Toe mark on an occupied space.

3. Entering invalid inputs (e.g., symbols or non-existent

options) to see if the app could handle them without

crashing.

4. Testing the "quit" functionality across games to verify

that it redirected him back to the main menu.

5. Playing each game with extreme inputs (e.g., quickly

entering choices) to test stability.

Review

Rahul appreciated the overall stability of the app but

identified some areas where error handling could be

improved. For instance, if an invalid input was entered in the

Quiz Game or main menu, the app could freeze or throw an

error, requiring him to restart. He suggested adding clear

error messages when invalid options are entered and

ensuring the app resets gracefully after an error. He also

recommended adding a confirmation prompt when a user

chooses "quit" in the middle of a game to avoid accidental

exits. Rahul felt that these enhancements would make the

app more resilient and user-friendly, especially for students

who might accidentally input incorrect options.

Rahul appreciated the overall stability of the app but

identified several areas where error handling and additional

features could improve the user experience. He found that

entering invalid inputs, such as symbols or letters when

numbers were expected, sometimes caused the program to

freeze or crash, requiring a restart. To address this, he

suggested adding clear error messages that guide users back

to the correct input options, helping prevent frustration.

Additionally, Rahul recommended implementing a

confirmation prompt whenever a user selects "quit" during a

game. This would prevent accidental exits, ensuring that

users don’t lose their progress unintentionally.

 CHALLENGES FACED

1. Handling User Input

One of the biggest challenges was making sure the

app could handle all kinds of inputs correctly. Since

users might enter anything (like a letter instead of a

number), it sometimes causes the app to stop

working or behave unexpectedly. We had to add

some code to help catch these mistakes, but it was

hard to cover every possible error a user might make.

2. Keeping the Code Organized

Since we included three different games (Quiz, Tic

Tac Toe, and Rock, Paper, Scissors) in one app,

organising the code was tricky. Each game needed

its own rules and separate code. We had to make

sure that each game worked on its own but could still

be accessed from the main menu. This took planning

 to keep the code neat and easy to update or debug if

something went wrong.

3. Testing Game Rules

It was challenging to test each game to make sure

everything worked correctly. For Tic Tac Toe, we had

to check every possible win and make sure it also

recognized a draw. For Rock, Paper, Scissors, we

needed to make sure the game correctly responded

to every possible player choice. Testing all these

possible outcomes was time-consuming but

necessary to make sure the app worked well.

4. Making the App Easy to Use

Since this project was made in basic Python with text

inputs only, we had to work hard to make sure it was

easy for anyone to use. We couldn’t add fancy

graphics, so we had to rely on clear instructions and

simple menus. Making sure the app was

 understandable for everyone was a challenge,

especially without a visual interface to guide users.

5. Making It Fun to Replay

One goal was to make the app fun enough that users

would want to play again. However, with a limited set

of quiz questions and a simple Rock, Paper, Scissors

format, it was hard to keep the games exciting. We

realised that adding extra features, like scores or

difficulty levels, could make it more interesting, but

we didn’t have enough time or experience to include

those in this project.

6. Managing Game Flow

We wanted to make sure users could quit or restart a

game easily, but getting this to work smoothly was

harder than expected. We had to make sure that

when someone chose to quit a game, they would go

back to the main menu without any issues. This part

 took extra testing, as it sometimes caused errors that

we had to fix.

These challenges helped us learn a lot about coding,

testing, and making a user-friendly app. Each problem we

solved gave us a better understanding of programming

and helped us make a stronger final project.

 LESSONS LEARNED
Lessons Learned from Developing the Arena of Games App

Creating the "Arena of Games" app taught me many

important lessons. Here are the key lessons explained in

simple language:

1. Planning is Important

Before starting to code, I learned that planning is crucial.

I followed the steps of the Software Development Life

Cycle (SDLC), which helped me understand what I needed

to do at each stage. Planning my project helped me

organise my thoughts and made the coding process

smoother.

2. Keeping Code Organized

With multiple games in one app, I realised how important

it is to keep my code neat. I created separate functions

for each game, which made my code easier to read and

manage. Organised code makes it simpler to fix problems

when they arise.

3. Checking User Input

I faced challenges when users entered unexpected

values. I learned that checking user inputs is essential to

avoid crashes or errors. I had to add code to handle

wrong entries, which made the app more user-friendly.

4. Debugging Skills

While developing the app, I encountered many errors that

I needed to fix. Each error helped me learn how to find

and solve problems in my code. I learned to test different

parts of the app to make sure everything worked well

before finalising it.

5. Game Logic Matters

Designing games with clear rules was vital. For example,

in Tic Tac Toe, I had to check all the winning

combinations. Understanding game logic helped me

make sure the games worked correctly.

6. Creating a Simple User Experience

Since my app was text-based, I worked hard to make it

easy to use. I designed simple menus and instructions so

users could navigate the app easily. This experience

showed me that clarity is key to a good user experience.

7. Time Management

This project taught me to manage my time well. I had to

balance planning, coding, and testing within a set

deadline. Setting goals for each stage helped me stay

organised and avoid last-minute rushes.

8. Importance of Testing

Testing was crucial to ensure each game worked as

intended. I learned that I needed to test all possible

 USER FEEDBACK

User 1: Aditi Sharma

As a regular gamer, I found the "Arena of Games" app

both entertaining and educational. The layout is simple,

making it easy for anyone to navigate. I particularly

enjoyed the quiz game, as it was not only fun but also

challenged my knowledge on various topics. The

questions were well-chosen and varied, covering subjects

from science to geography. I appreciated how the app

provides instant feedback on answers, which helped me

learn from my mistakes.

One feature I think could enhance the experience is

adding a scoring system or leaderboard. It would be

exciting to see how I rank against other players.

Additionally, the app could benefit from including more

quiz categories or levels of difficulty. This would keep it

interesting for players who may want a more challenging

experience.

Regarding the Tic Tac Toe game, I found it enjoyable but

a bit too straightforward. Perhaps introducing different

levels of AI could make it more challenging. Currently, the

computer opponent is quite easy to beat. Adding features

like time limits for making a move or customizable boards

could make it more engaging.

Overall, I think the "Arena of Games" app is a great

project for students. It is well executed, with room for

growth in features and gameplay. I look forward to future

updates that could improve the user experience further.

User 2: Rahul Kumar

I recently tried the "Arena of Games" app and was

impressed by its simplicity and functionality. The main

menu is user-friendly, allowing easy access to the various

games. I found the Rock, Paper, Scissors game

particularly enjoyable. The computer's random selection

made the game unpredictable, which is a big part of the

fun.

However, I feel that adding more interactive features

could elevate the gameplay experience. For example,

introducing animations or sound effects could make the

games more lively. It would also be nice to have options

for customising the games, such as different themes or

avatars.

I also noticed that while the games are great, some

instructions could be clearer, especially for new users.

Including a brief guide on how to play each game at the

start would be helpful.

This way, users won’t feel lost when they first enter a

game. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have a

feature that tracks high scores and personal bests,

allowing players to challenge themselves over time.

In summary, the "Arena of Games" app is a fun way to

pass the time, especially for those who enjoy casual

games. With a few enhancements and additional

features, I believe it could attract even more players.

User 3: Neha Singh

As a student interested in game development, I found the

"Arena of Games" app to be an insightful experience. I

appreciated the structured approach to presenting

multiple games within one application. The quiz game

stood out to me for its educational value. I liked how it

not only tested my knowledge but also encouraged

learning by providing correct answers after guesses.

However, I think the app could benefit from a more

robust user interface. While the text-based format is

functional, incorporating a graphical user interface (GUI)

would significantly improve the overall user experience. It

would make the app feel more modern and appealing,

especially to younger audiences who are accustomed to

colourful, interactive interfaces.

Another suggestion I have is to incorporate multiplayer

options. Games like Tic Tac Toe could be made more

exciting by allowing users to challenge their friends. This

social element would not only make the games more

competitive but also foster a sense of community among

users.

Overall, I see great potential in the "Arena of Games"

app. It has a solid foundation, and with some

enhancements in design and functionality, it could

become a popular choice among students and casual

gamers alike.
