Erm, it's still not working...
Whenever I try to use the talk method (which reports the mood, and doesn't
take parameters), it says I gave it too many parameters. Maybe it might help
if I posted the code in it's entirety....
# Critter Caretaker
# A virtual pet to care for
class Critter(object):
"""A virtual pet"""
def __init__(self, name, hunger = 0, boredom = 0):
self.name = name
self.hunger = hunger
self.boredom = boredom
def __pass_time(self):
self.hunger += 1
self.boredom += 1
def __get_mood(self):
unhappiness = self.hunger + self.boredom
if unhappiness < 5:
mood = "happy"
elif 5 <= unhappiness <= 10:
mood = "okay"
elif 11 <= unhappiness <= 15:
mood = "frustrated"
else:
mood = "mad"
return mood
mood = property(__get_mood)
def talk(self):
print "I'm", self.name, "and I feel", self.mood, "now.\n"
self.__pass_time()
def eat(self, food = 4):
print "Brruppp. Thank you."
self.hunger -= food
if self.hunger < 0:
self.hunger = 0
self.__pass_time()
def play(self, fun = 4):
print "Wheee!"
self.boredom -= fun
if self.boredom < 0:
self.boredom = 0
self.__pass_time()
def backdoor(self):
print "hunger:", self.hunger, "boredom:", self.boredom
def quit():
print "God-bye!"
def main():
crit_name = raw_input("What do you want to name your critter?: ")
crit = Critter(crit_name)
selection = None
while selection != "0":
print \
"""
Critter Caretaker
0 - Quit
1 - Listen to your critter
2 - Feed your critter
3 - Play with your critter
"""
selection = raw_input("Choice: ")
choices = {"0":(quit, None), "1":(crit.talk, None), "2":(crit.eat,
3), "3":(crit.play, 3), "Xyzzy":(crit.backdoor, None)}
if selection in choices:
choice = choices[selection]
choice[0](choice[1])
main()
("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
