Every time you run the program it is reinitialised to the hard coded values. To make the changes stick you would need to store them somewhere and then read them at startup. There are many ways to do that, some work better than others with dictionaries: the shelve module or the CSV module or the JSON module are all fairly easy to use. However, I suspect the book's author is only looking for you to play the game once and then forget the values (or start afresh) She/he will likely cover files later. To that end you need to look at wrapping your menu selection in a loop (probably a while) and keep on applying the changes until you are done. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Another question, dictionaries
I'm trying to finish chapter 5 in my book and it has to do with
dictionaries and creating simple games. We need a pool of points and the
ability to exchange point between the pool and each of the, what I call,
attributes of Strength, Health, Wisdom, and Dexterity. I got only to the
first option and I'm stuck on how to get the points to change
"permanently". The program will run well for option 1 (I haven't got to the
rest of the options), but the next time I run the program it goes back to
the original configuration. Did I do everything right, but I just need to
write to a file, and that's what the problem is? or what?
I've reread the chapter, I've gone on stackoverflow and thegeekstuff.com,
I've thought about it for at least a day and I just can't figure out what
the problem is. Please help?
# Character creator program for role playing
pool = 30
attributes = {"Strength": 0, "Health": 0, "Wisdom": 0, "Dexterity": 0}
print("You have", pool, "points")
print("""
You can apply them to your Strength, Health, Wisdom, or Dexterity.
Press:
0 to Quit
1 to apply points to Strength
2 to apply points to Health
3 to apply points to Wisdom
4 to apply points to Dexterity
5 to apply points from Strength to your pool
6 to apply points from Health to your pool
7 to apply points from Wisdom to your pool
8 to apply points from Dexterity to your pool
""")
choice = input("Choice: ")
print(attributes.get("Strength"))
if choice == "0":
print("Good-bye.")
input("\n\nPress enter to exit.")
elif choice == "1":
strengthChoice = input("How many points would you like to transfer from
pool to Strength?: ")
print(strengthChoice)
attributes["Strength"] += int(strengthChoice)
print(attributes.get("Strength"))
pool -= int(strengthChoice)
print(pool)
