What can be better than a cup of coffee during a break? A coffee that you don’t have to make yourself. It’s enough to press a couple of buttons on the machine and you get a cup of energy; but first, we should teach the machine how to do it. In this project, you will work on programming a coffee machine simulator. The machine works with typical products: coffee, milk, sugar, and plastic cups; if it runs out of something, it shows a notification. You can get three types of coffee: espresso, cappuccino, and latte. Since nothing’s for free, it also collects the money.

Everyone who plays videogames these days knows that they have very good visuals. It was not the case though during the early days of the industry. Many of the first videogames were text-based. "Colossal Cave Adventure" was arguably one of the most influential of them. There were no visuals, only big chunks of text, extended gameplay, a story, and the ability to save and load your progress. Use this project to create a similar text-based adventure game with a story written by you.
