Challenge
EasyCreate a turn-based combat system that checks if a player has enough action points to perform an attack.
Declare the following variables:
playerActionPointswith the value3attackCostwith the value2
Write an if-else statement that:
- If the player has enough action points (greater than or equal to the attack cost), subtract the attack cost from their action points and print
"Attack successful! Action points remaining: X"where X is the remaining points - If the player doesn't have enough action points, print
“Not enough action points to attack!”
Try it yourself
