PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,637 PointsHere's my updated version of the dungeon game.
My changes:
- The map is 10 x 10 instead of 4 x 4.
- Not only is the player displayed on the map as P, but the monster, the door, and the shrine (explained below) are displayed also as M, D, and S respectively.
- The player and monster hp are displayed as numbers, and their hp bars are displayed as Xs and Ys respectively which decrease every -20 hp.
- If the player makes an invalid move, they lose 5 hp.
- If the player encounters the monster, the game will randomly generate 0 or 1. If the number is 0, the player loses 10 hp. If the number is 1, the monster loses 10 hp unless killed.
- If the player's hp reaches 0, the player loses. If the monster's hp reaches 0 the monster dies, and the player is prompted to get to the door.
- The monster moves 1 tile in a random direction every 5 valid moves unless it has been killed.
- The monster heals itself 5 hp every 10 valid moves unless killed or has maximum hp (100).
- The player gets healed 5 hp if they move to the shrine unless they have maximum hp (100). If the monster moves to the shrine, the monster does not get healed.
- If the monster reaches the door, the player loses automatically.
- If the player reaches the door and the monster has not been killed, the player is prompted to kill the monster first.
- If the player reaches the door and the monster has been killed, the player wins.

231,236 PointsFirst off, great job! 
Bugs (minor):
- the player gets one more turn after being dead before "Play again?" is shown
- an unrecognized input is taken as "running into a wall" even in the middle of the grid
- the grid is actually 11x11 (instead of 10x10)
Play suggestions:
- allow shorthands for movement (u, d, l, r)
- conceal locations of door and shrine until each has been found
- conceal monster location when it moves until it is found again
- add "wait" (w) as a movement choice to stay in same place (such as in the shrine)
Coding suggestions:
- use functions to condense the code
- here's a compact dynamic method to initialize the cells:
CELLS = [(c%11, c//11) for c in range(11**2)]
Henrik Christensen
Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsLook great! Very impressive! :-)
Steven Parker already said it all :-)
I have a minor suggestion for a change (nitty-gritty thing).
I see that you sometimes says i.e. if monster_dead == False and monster_dead == True - this can be written as if not monster_dead and if monster_dead :-)
Joseph Yhu
PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,637 PointsVersion 2.2: Added an easy difficulty mode.
- Easy difficulty: Everything except the trap is shown on the map. The monster doesn't move (meaning you won't lose automatically since the monster can't get to the door) and doesn't heal itself. The trap does 5 damage.
- Normal difficulty: Everything except the trap is shown on the map. The monster moves and heals itself. The trap does 10 damage.
- Hard difficulty: Only the player is shown on the map. The monster moves and heals itself. Finding the shrine or the door will reveal their coordinates to the player for the rest of the game; finding the monster will reveal its current coordinates until it moves. The trap does 20 damage.
Version 2.1: Added a trap which decreases the player's hp by 20 every time its activated (i.e. every time the player stands on it). Always hidden regardless of difficulty.
Version 2.0: Read my comment above for the changes.

Am I allowed to post the game to GitHub?
Steven Parker
231,236 PointsI added a comment to my answer. And I don't see why posting this here or Github would be significantly different.
Joseph Yhu
PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,637 PointsThis originally wasn't my code; I've just made some changes. So I was wondering if I'm allowed to create a GitHub repository of it and add the link to LinkedIn as a project like I had with the number guessing project.
Mods looking good, but I was thinking you could display the shrine and door on the map (instead/with the coordinates), and use a single function for both difficulty levels: Now you have plenty opportunities to practice making code "DRY" and compact. For example, "move_player" is 78 lines, but could be condensed to about 14:
Thanks, I've changed them. I've also made the display_message function more compact.
And I also made it work with both the full and shorthand move names, but that needs a little bit of support elsewhere.
I've decided not to add full move names as valid moves. The player should know, e.g., what the "L" move does even if he doesn't know that L stands for LEFT, the game clearly tells him that it does with the display_message function. Also who would use the full move name if a shorthand move name is available?

And I intended the display_message function just as an example. There's still plenty opportunities to do similar reductions in other functions. Give it a shot, and see how much smaller you can make it!
I get your point about the full move names, I also did that mostly as a technique example.
And this line looked a bit odd: "x, y = x, y". You might consider replacing that with "pass".
But overall, you're really getting the hang of programming. Keep up the good work!

231,236 PointsMods looking good, but I was thinking you could display the shrine and door on the map (instead/with the coordinates), and use a single function for both difficulty levels:
Now you have plenty opportunities to practice making code "DRY" and compact. For example, "move_player" is 78 lines, but could be condensed to about 14:
And I also made it work with both the full and shorthand move names, but that needs a little bit of support elsewhere.
