How do I go back to a specic part of the program?

I would like to keep going back to certain parts of the programs. Do I
need to do something special or is there a command I can use that would
allow me to go anywhere I want?

So far the only command I have in my game is walk.
The enemies so far are rat frog rabbit and snake

Please help me I am stuck and I cant figure out how to move forward
without that.

Here’s a little rewrite, note two things:

  1. The use of the initialize method
  2. The complete lack of variables that simply hold copies of the
    values held in an object

It’s a start

class Creature
attr_reader :name, :attack, :hp

def initialize(name, attack, hp)
@name = name
@attack = attack
@hp = hp
end

def damage(attack)
@hp -= attack
end

def alive?
@hp > 0
end
end

hero = Creature.new(“Levi”, 10, 100)
frog = Creature.new(“Frog”, 1, 10)
rat = Creature.new(“Rat”, 3, 20)
rabbit = Creature.new(“Rabbit”, 4, 25)
snake = Creature.new(“Snake”, 8, 25)

while hero.alive?
puts “What would you like to do?”
action = gets.chomp

case action
when ‘attack’
puts “Which enemy would you like to get?”
enemy = gets.chomp
my_enemy = nil

case enemy
when "frog"
  my_enemy = frog
when "rat"
  my_enemy = rat
when "rabbit"
  my_enemy = rabbit
when "snake"
  my_enemy = snake
end

if my_enemy
  if my_enemy.alive?
    my_enemy.damage(hero.attack)
    if my_enemy.alive?
      puts "You deal the #{my_enemy.name} #{hero.attack} points of

damage, it retaliates"
hero.damage(my_enemy.attack)
puts “The #{my_enemy.name} deals you #{my_enemy.attack}
points of damage”
else
puts “Splat, the #{my_enemy.name} is dead”
end
else
puts “He’s dead Jim”
end
else
puts “You viciously attack a #{enemy}, which ignores you because
you can’t spell”
end
when “walk”
puts “You are walking man”
else
puts “please enter a valid action”
end
end

puts “You died”
