It also cleaned up main(), and put everything in well defined packages
at the top of the program. I can see do difference in "game play". 8^D
Here are your changes implemented, and working on my Linux system:
#!/user/bin/python
import time
class Explorer(object):
"""player"""
def __init__(self,name):
"""initilaization method"""
self.name = name
self.strength = 20
self.wealth = 60
self.alive = True
def __str__(self):
return " %s, YOUR STRENGTH IS %d\n YOU HAVE $%d" % (self.name,
self.strength, self.wealth)
def change_wealth(self, incr):
self.wealth += incr
if self.wealth <= 0:
print
print (" YOU HAVE NO MONEY")
time.sleep(1)
def change_strength(self, incr):
self.strength += incr
if self.strength <= 0:
print ("\n\n YOU DIED...")
time.sleep(1)
self.alive = False
class Light(object):
"""light switch"""
def __init__(self,light):
self.light = light
def __str__(self):
if self.light == 0:
return " IT IS TOO DARK TO SEE ANYTHING"
else:
return " THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT NO ONE'S HOME"
def cs():
print "\n"*50
def main():
tally = 0
switch = Light(0) #instance
cs() # clear screen
name = raw_input(" WHAT IS YOUR NAME, EXPLORER? ")
explr = Explorer(name)
while explr.alive:
cs() # clear screen
print explr
print switch
print
print
answer = raw_input(" WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? [Q|L]: ")
if answer.upper() == "Q":
break
if answer.upper() == "L":
if switch.light == 1:
switch.light = 0
else:
switch.light = 1
explr.change_wealth(-15)
explr.change_strength(-5)
else:
print (" INVALID CHOICE")
tally += 1
print
print (" FINAL SCORE:")
print (" TALLY: %d" % tally)
print (" STRENGTH: %d" % explr.strength)
print (" WEALTH: $%d" % explr.wealth)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Thanks Kent!
I like these small incremental changes with explanations.
I especially like the way you took blocks of code from main()
and made methods out of them. The actual code itself,
hardly changed!
Happy Programming!
