[frozen agate]

as described here

alright!

lets start from the start

tell me what you already know

[noble mountain]

I will start by sending the link of the game

[lone tiger]

can I learn also?

[noble mountain]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EEQQ

[frozen agate]

please

[noble mountain]

This is the link

[frozen agate]

yes

[lone tiger]

Ok thanks

[frozen agate]

thanks, but ill be starting from an empty file

[noble mountain]

Now I post what the assignment is.

[frozen agate]

yes please

[noble mountain]

This is what I gotta do.

Part 3 More enemies
Once the combat system is finished and working well with an enemy, add different rooms to the game. In the different rooms, the player must be able to fight against different enemies. Different enemies should have different stats.

Example:
Demonic Monkey, 20 HP, 4 + 1-3 in damage
Frenzied Lizard, 30 HP, 8 + 1-5 in damage
Abyssal Horror, 50 HP, 13 + 1-6 in damage

Part 4 Inventory system and items
Add an inventory system to the game. The player starts with the following items:

2 pcs Cheesecake. Heals 4 + 1-3 HP.
1 Deluxe Cheesecake. Heals 8 + 1-5 HP.
1 bomb. Do 10 + 2-8 in damage.

Add a new option to the combat menu: “Use Item”. The player then gets to choose an item to use.

When the player kills an enemy, the enemy should leave behind an item that the player can pick up.

Example:
Demonic Monkey, Cheesecake
Frenzied Lizard, Bomb
Abyssal Horror, Deluxe Cheesecake

[frozen agate]

share part1 and 2 please

[noble mountain]

Ok

Part 2 is only reflection tho

[frozen agate]

i dont mind to know aboout it

[noble mountain]

Alr

Its to big to send here

[frozen agate]

[noble mountain]

I can probaly just send the link to the asignment

[frozen agate]

yes that works

[noble mountain]

assignment

I will just make a private document

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gHfcrurZMWeh2wmEf_exNAZT410QaPBDqTDuZp2VIDQ/edit

I will just translate everything

one second

How do I translate fast?

[frozen agate]

no need, you can just share it and ill understand it

[noble mountain]

You got the link

[lone tiger]

It is asking for approval

[noble mountain]

I have lunch now. But take your time. Imma go offline for now

[frozen agate]

i also have luch.. let me know when you are back

[noble mountain]

Im back

@frozen agate

[frozen agate]

hey

extended lunch for me!

[noble mountain]

oh alright!

[frozen agate]

so ready to unpack some details about this topic?

[noble mountain]

Give me like 10 minutes and I be back. I will just do another assignment real quick. It will take max 10 minutes

[frozen agate]

sure thing, let me know

[noble mountain]

Im back

it took 3 minutes lucky enough

@frozen agate

[frozen agate]

alright

[noble mountain]

What's your plan?

[frozen agate]

teaching you some useful things you will need to solve this assignment

and showing how these things work

such that you can go and do that for your thing

[noble mountain]

Alright thanks, atleast you can teach. My teacher can't

[frozen agate]

when making a game there is one important thing you need to be able to do in code, we have touched a bit on this earlier

it is what I like to call, saving internal states

[noble mountain]

He is from Maine, that says a lot of him. But anyways let's talk about my code.

[frozen agate]

states change in a game, and these changes we need to be able to save

like the health of a monster

or the number of monsters in a room

[noble mountain]

one question.

[frozen agate]

or the number of rooms

ask away

[noble mountain]

remember to not talk about something advanced or something new. My teacher will get suspicous if I use python commands that we haven't talk about before.

[frozen agate]

oh no, the correct thing here is to use a class, we will not talk about this

[noble mountain]

I let you know if you would say something I haven't heard of before.

[frozen agate]

please do that

also things we need to keep track of, items in our inventory

enemy and player attacks

and any other things you want to save and use in your game

do you have a suggestion of how we can store this data?

[noble mountain]

hmm.. Idk functions? Or I might be very wrong here

[frozen agate]

a function control behaviour, it does not control data

[noble mountain]

right

[frozen agate]

you have already used a thing to store data

[noble mountain]

I did sadly forget what you call it

Yes right

I need to open my code

[frozen agate]

you saved enemy health

what did you use to do that?

[noble mountain]

() ?

[frozen agate]

you use a dict

do you know what a dict is?

[noble mountain]

No, please tell me.

[frozen agate]

it is a data structure that lets you save data as key and value pairs

and you can lookup the data with the key

[noble mountain]

Oh so it can be like def_main ():?

[frozen agate]

like a sweedish to english book of all words

[noble mountain]

it's that something you use to store data with?

is*

[frozen agate]

yes, it makes a lot of sense to do that with a dict

[noble mountain]

👍

[frozen agate]

swedish_to_english = {
    "hej": "hello",
    "tack": "thanks",
    "ja": "yes",
    "nej": "no",
}

this is a dict of a few words

[noble mountain]

ah

It's nice seeing how you use pictures. it makes it easier to understand.

[frozen agate]

!e

swedish_to_english = {
    "hej": "hello",
    "tack": "thanks",
    "ja": "yes",
    "nej": "no",
}

print(swedish_to_english['hej'])

[gritty whale]

@frozen agate :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

hello

[frozen agate]

notice that i use the key to get the value

[noble mountain]

right

Can I ask you another question?

[frozen agate]

ask away

[noble mountain]

Have you tried my code? If you did, did you found something confusing or something bad?

[frozen agate]

i have not tried it, we will unpack some best practises while we talk, and you will see that when you write your game again you will write it in a different way

[noble mountain]

ah

[frozen agate]

lets figure out what data we need

[noble mountain]

Are we on part 3 of the game right now?

[frozen agate]

we are on part 0

[noble mountain]

Right my bad.

[frozen agate]

no worries

we need player to save all the data on the player needs

agree?

[noble mountain]

Agree

Or do we?

[frozen agate]

yes, we need to be able to save the important data

[noble mountain]

No we do need it

[frozen agate]

that way, when we write functioon that control behaviour, the functions can use the data for calculations

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Player',
        'HP': 100,
        'MP': 100,
        'attack': 10,
        'defense': 5,
    }
}

so im not sure what you actually need for the player

this is just a guess

[noble mountain]

You just wrote data as an example right? Like you could write anything there?

[frozen agate]

yes, but DATA is a good name for your game data

[noble mountain]

Yes correct.

[frozen agate]

it is the name of the dict

[noble mountain]

Question.

[frozen agate]

ask away

[noble mountain]

You wrote attack 10, does that means that player does 10 damange always?

[frozen agate]

in this contex, yes thats what it means

[noble mountain]

Alr but you could use something like ranrange if you wanted random damange?

Just wondering.

[frozen agate]

yes, we can use randomness to add more variance to the calculations

but the DATA is static, so the random behaviour needs to be done in functions

[noble mountain]

oh that's something new. My teacher did not teach that sadly.

What do you write in python if you want to chose something between 1-10?

[frozen agate]

you call a random function called randrange

[noble mountain]

we used random.randint

that might be wrong

[frozen agate]

well, randint and randrange both works, you just have to know what the result is when you use it

[noble mountain]

oh alright.

[frozen agate]

!d random.randrange

[gritty whale]

random.randrange

random.randrange(stop)``````py

random.randrange(start, stop[, step])```
Return a randomly selected element from `range(start, stop, step)`.

This is roughly equivalent to `choice(range(start, stop, step))` but supports arbitrarily large ranges and is optimized for common cases.

The positional argument pattern matches the [`range()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#range) function.

Keyword arguments should not be used because they can be interpreted in unexpected ways. For example `randrange(start=100)` is interpreted as `randrange(0, 100, 1)`.

Changed in version 3.2: [`randrange()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.randrange) is more sophisticated about producing equally distributed values. Formerly it used a style like `int(random()*n)` which could produce slightly uneven distributions.

[frozen agate]

!d random.randint

[gritty whale]

random.randint

random.randint(a, b)```
Return a random integer *N* such that `a <= N <= b`. Alias for `randrange(a, b+1)`.

[noble mountain]

Is something of these "better"?

[frozen agate]

share your code again with me

[frozen agate]

yes, randrange is better

[noble mountain]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EEQQ

[frozen agate]

user_health = 50 so this is player health

[noble mountain]

Yep!

[frozen agate]

damage_to_enemy = random.randint(5, 15) this is the damage you do to an enemy

[noble mountain]

Yes correct, between these numbers.

[frozen agate]

damage_to_user = random.randint(3, 8) this is the damage an enemy does to the player

[noble mountain]

correct

[frozen agate]

and is that all you want your game to do?

[noble mountain]

Well this is part one of the game so I don't really need anything more of that.

[frozen agate]

do you want to add defence into this, and do you want to add weapons that give you more damage?

[noble mountain]

I actually already got defence

Inventory will be added later

You can choose, 1 attack 2 defend, 3 runaway

[frozen agate]

yes, but how you plan the data is done now, not later

[noble mountain]

data is done now?

[frozen agate]

no, far from it

[noble mountain]

no no, but like what do you mean? I didn't really understand.

[frozen agate]

i see.. im asking you, i dont have any answers

it is your game

[noble mountain]

Ok and the question was?

I'm a little slow sometimes

[frozen agate]

do you want the player to be less affected based on how much defence the player has?

[noble mountain]

Oh, yes!

[frozen agate]

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',
        'HP': 100,
        'attack': 10,
        'defense': 5,
    },
}

so it makes sense for the player to have defence rating

[noble mountain]

ye

When you choose defend the player won't cause any damange to the enemy

[frozen agate]

i see, and hence take less damage

[noble mountain]

yes

[frozen agate]

the player needs to have an inventory as well

[noble mountain]

correct.

[frozen agate]

lets add this

[noble mountain]

👍

[frozen agate]

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',
        'HP': 100,
        'attack': 10,
        'defense': 5,
    },
    'inventory': [],
}

the inventory is a list

it is here empty, because ... well... the player does not have any items

are you planning on having more then one inventory?

[noble mountain]

yep, we have actually talked about list before which is great!

No, one inventory is enough. You get to choose one thing. Or do you think it would be better with 2?

[frozen agate]

the decision is to put the inventory inside the player or have it as part of the DATA (like i have done above)

if it is inside the player, you can add a second player, with its own inventory

[noble mountain]

ah

Well we don't really need a second player, it's a 1v1 game

[frozen agate]

then we will use it as it is, notice that im thinking about everything that can happen at this point in time

so what more data do we need, do you need to navigate between rooms?

[noble mountain]

try to imagine a pokemon fight with only one pokemon.

[noble mountain]

Yes, after a victory, you are going to move over to a new room. The big boss should be at this room

[frozen agate]

alright, so we need to save rooms to our data

lets do that

[noble mountain]

If you are defeated, you won't respawn, its game over then

I believe that we need a smilar code under the old code? Or is this to complicated?

[frozen agate]

lets tacle those things when we get there

this is just the design part

[noble mountain]

right

[frozen agate]

what do we need to know about a room?

[noble mountain]

we don't really need to know anything about it, We don't need to know how it looks. Let's say, "You defetaed the first enemy, you are now going to fight against the boss in the castle" Let's just say it's a castle.

[frozen agate]

ok, lets say we are in a castle, that is a good place

the first room is the entrance hall

this room has a name

"Entrance Hall" would its name be

[noble mountain]

Should I add that in the story?

[frozen agate]

it would be a poor game if you could not tell the player where he is standing

[noble mountain]

Can I add it here?

[frozen agate]

and we need a description for the room

we need to know if there are enemies in this room

and if there are multiple exits in a room, we might have to tell about that as well

[noble mountain]

Well you get to choose what enemy that are going to be in that room

[noble mountain]

you mean if you choose runaway?

[frozen agate]

lets start with empty rooms at first

[frozen agate]

i mean to other rooms

[noble mountain]

Is it good to use print to descripe the room?

[frozen agate]

yes

[noble mountain]

Ok should I add it now?

[frozen agate]

will the rooms have objects to pick up?

[noble mountain]

Nope.

The castle might have, but not the first room

Ok let me add it

How do you say enter on english? Like if you have enter something

its grammar

[frozen agate]

enter

[noble mountain]

no, its something like entred

[frozen agate]

you enter the Hallway

[noble mountain]

okay.

[frozen agate]

you have entered the Hallway

[noble mountain]

there it is

now you know what room you're in

[frozen agate]

so lets focus on the part that is the most important first

that is to create the place where the data is saved

[lone tiger]

you are also learning english with coding😅

[frozen agate]

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',
        'HP': 100,
        'attack': 10,
        'defense': 5,
    },
    'inventory': [],
    'rooms': [
        {
            'name': 'entrance hall',
            'description': 'You are standing in a grand entrance hall.',
            'exits': ['north', 'east', 'west', 'south'],
            'enemies': []
        },
        {
            'name': 'kitchen',
            'description': 'You are in a cozy kitchen.',
            'exits': ['south'],
            'enemies': []
        },
    ],
}

[noble mountain]

correct

oh damn

the tricky part is how you would get this into my code

or how I would do that

[frozen agate]

dont worry about it

[noble mountain]

with help ofcourse

you are a coding god

[frozen agate]

lets figure out all the data you need to save for your game

[noble mountain]

What data would that be?

[lone tiger]

why inventory has nothing?

[frozen agate]

well, what more are missing?

[frozen agate]

because we have not picked up anything

[noble mountain]

inventory maybe?

[lone tiger]

oh ok

[frozen agate]

we have a place to save the inventory

maybe we should add enemies

[noble mountain]

so we need data to save the room

but we have enemies right?

Or atleast 2

[frozen agate]

there are not a single enemy in the data

[noble mountain]

hm

there isn't?

[frozen agate]

take a look

[noble mountain]

But I got this data tho

[lone tiger]

there 2 enemies one in entrance hall and one in kitchen

[frozen agate]

yes, you have, but im talking about the DATA we are creating right now

[lone tiger]

am i right?

[frozen agate]

so lets add enemeies to the data

[noble mountain]

Yeah okay. I do understand don't get me wrong but why do we need to create this data? Like what is it for? Because we got a decent working game. I'm not trying to be rude, you are a very good teacher so don't get me wrong!

[frozen agate]

the key to a game you can expand is to control two things

behaviour and data

with functions you can only control behaviour

[noble mountain]

That's why we are creating this data, alr. Now I get it!

[frozen agate]

with class you can control behaviour data and many many many other things

but class is an advavanced topic

[noble mountain]

eivl, why do we need to control multiple things? What would you use that for? Is that for inventory

[frozen agate]

so to make it similar to what you have done, we are now putting the data into a dict

[frozen agate]

it is the nature of games to have mutiple moving parts

and since functions only control behaviour, you will end up with a spagetti mess if you try to force functions to controll everything

[noble mountain]

oh ok

[frozen agate]

lets look at a few enemies, and lets change this to some more real values

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',
        'HP': 100,
        'attack': 10,
        'defense': 5,
    },
    'inventory': [],
    'rooms': [
        {
            'name': 'entrance hall',
            'description': 'You are standing in a grand entrance hall.',
            'exits': ['north', 'east', 'west', 'south'],
            'enemies': []
        },
        {
            'name': 'kitchen',
            'description': 'You are in a cozy kitchen.',
            'exits': ['south'],
            'enemies': []
        },
    ],
    'enemies': [
        {
          'name': 'goblin',
          'health': 10,
          'attack': 5,
        },
        {
          'name': 'dragon',
          'health': 50,
          'attack': 20,
        },
    ],
}

[noble mountain]

isn't it better to have the same stats on the first two enemies?

[frozen agate]

you decide that

create and change it so it fits your needs

[noble mountain]

The boss might have more hp and attack but the first two you get to choose about is probaly better with the same stas, this was only an example tho

[frozen agate]

i would suggest you have many enemies, and you can randomly select between all enemies when you enter a room

and you would have a selection of a few boss enemies, and pick one of the bosses for the final room

[noble mountain]

okay

so not only one boss?

[frozen agate]

well, i find it more interesting to have more options, you can however do it with one fixed boss if you want to

[noble mountain]

Alright!

So what do you think?

what should be improved?

[frozen agate]

i would like you to add more enemeies and bosses, and add them to the dict i have started

share it here when you are done

five enemies and three bosses maybe. just to have some to pick from

[noble mountain]

the thing is we don't need more bosses rn. Like the bosses should be in the other room

[frozen agate]

well add one then, the number does not really matter that much

[noble mountain]

you only fight against one enemy tho? like you dont need to play against everyone?

[frozen agate]

that is something you can controll

the behaviour of the fight is a function that decides the logic

[noble mountain]

Ok you get to fight against 2 enemies, one normal and one boss

[frozen agate]

this are just the available data for the game in one place

[noble mountain]

then you get to choose against multiple

[frozen agate]

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',

             'health': 200,
             'attack': 50,
         },
    ],
}

here are my suggestion

[noble mountain]

where should it be added?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EEQQ

[frozen agate]

the data should be the first thing after imports

[noble mountain]

do I need to replace something?

[frozen agate]

no, you should write everything again, always write everything twice

or WET

what more is missing from the enemies?

[noble mountain]

one sec

something went wrong

[frozen agate]

what do you mean?

im just asking what more is missing from the enemies

[noble mountain]

I added the bad dragon as a new enemy

but

you cant choose him when you are starting the gaame

[frozen agate]

you are missing something important

you are not suppose to change your code now

you are not suppose to do anthing with your code

if you want to make a new file, you can do that and use the dict we have been discussing instead

[noble mountain]

dang

[frozen agate]

i did say this when we started

[noble mountain]

I fixed it

[frozen agate]

this is from my editor

[noble mountain]

Don't worry

its restored

[frozen agate]

so.. what more is missing from the enemies?

[noble mountain]

a description?

they already got a status

[frozen agate]

yes, that is true, i was thinking about the requirements from the assignment now

[noble mountain]

Well let me read it rq

well I got all requirements

[frozen agate]

no, there is one thing missing from the enemy

[noble mountain]

A big thing?

[frozen agate]

unless my swedish is off

yes

[noble mountain]

do you know Swedish?

[frozen agate]

i do

När spelaren dödar en fiende ska fienden lämna efter sig en item som spelaren kan plocka upp.

enemies needs an Item

[noble mountain]

right...

you are very right

how the heck did I miss that

got any idea?

🤔

[frozen agate]

so each enemy has one item, do you want each enemy to have a prefedined item

or do you want to pick an item from a selection of multiple items?

like a loot table

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',
        'HP': 100,

             'item': [],
         },
         {
             'name':  'troll',
             'health': 30,
             'attack': 15,

         {

             'attack': 11,
             'item': [],
         },
         {
             'name':  'werewolf',
             'health': 50,
             'attack': 14,
             'item': [],
         },
    ],
    'bosses': [
         {
             'name':  'Morgana the Witch Queen',
             'health': 100,
             'attack': 80,
         },
         {
             'name':  'Gorthok the Unyielding',
             'health': 150,
             'attack': 70,
         },
         {
             'name':  'The Dark Lord Xarath',
             'health': 200,
             'attack': 50,
         },
    ],
}

[noble mountain]

it would probaly be good if each enemy had a specific item, the bad demon could have hp and so one

on*

[frozen agate]

here each enemy has no item

[noble mountain]

good example

then I can just come up with some item

[frozen agate]

isnt it interesting to know that before you have written any game logic for the "new game system" you have to worry about all this

[frozen agate]

the item should help you in some way, agree?

[noble mountain]

yes it is

[noble mountain]

Yes correct

so it could be everything from helath to a weapon

[frozen agate]

so you can give more HP, attack or defence

[noble mountain]

I cant spell hp

health

[frozen agate]

because those attributes are the ones we have picked for the player

if we had more attributes that did different things, we could have made more different items

but three attributes is enough for a simple game

[noble mountain]

yep

let's pretend that you get a sword from the bad monkey after you have defeated him. This item should then be added into my inventory, correct?

[frozen agate]

yes, it should

the sword should have these attributes

{'name': 'sword', 'attack': 5, 'defense': 0, 'hp': 0} explain why?

[noble mountain]

because the sword should only do damange, it shouldn't defend you or heal you.

[frozen agate]

yes

and we explicit say that hp and defence is 0 because the computer does not really know what a sword is

the computer only cares about the value

so we will add attack, defence and hp to our player

[noble mountain]

yes

I do believe that we already have that tho, which is great!

[frozen agate]

if the player got two swords, he would have +10 attack

[noble mountain]

ye

             'attack': 50,
         },
    ],
}

[noble mountain]

we should probaly do an inventory with more than one space

[frozen agate]

yes, a list can have as many as we want

that is why the inventory is a list

[noble mountain]

yes a list is good!

[frozen agate]

and since the assignment says that the enemy drops one item, well, we dont need a list for that, so we just drop the one item it has

[noble mountain]

yep yep

[noble mountain]

it's kinda easy to understand what you should add and not, its very hard to get the logic where it should be added to the code

[frozen agate]

i just made a copy of the sword for all enemies, but you have to create your own items later

[frozen agate]

yes, that is why we start with the easiest and most important, the data

[noble mountain]

even the easiest is hard for me

[frozen agate]

programming is hard

[noble mountain]

correct, sadly i dont like it. But I don't have another choice. I'm glad that you are helping me

[frozen agate]

it looks like the player can only use one item from the inventory at the time. im not sure that is a good choice, but lets keep that in mind

[noble mountain]

yeah okay

[frozen agate]

alright.. lets take a final look at the data

DATA = {
    'player': {
        'name': 'Isac',

    ],
}

[noble mountain]

Jeez im getting kinda slow now

[frozen agate]

i think its good enough, the values can be changed later

[noble mountain]

That looks very good

[frozen agate]

im making a new file called constants.py

and im moving the data there

[noble mountain]

well what do you say, we should maybe take a break for today. Im getting tierd

[frozen agate]

yes, lets jkust finish the last part of this please

10 min?

[noble mountain]

sure

[frozen agate]

and in the main.py file i have from constants import DATA

[noble mountain]

did you import data?

[frozen agate]

yes, we need the data in our main file, i just dont want a wall of text to clutter the code

[lone tiger]

which editor are you using?

[frozen agate]

this is pycharm

[noble mountain]

oh alright

[lone tiger]

It is for python only

[frozen agate]

it is, part of jetbrains. it is not a good editor for beginners

[lone tiger]

oh ok

[noble mountain]

I dont wanna get off track but eivl is this your job?

[lone tiger]

Vs code is good for beginners?

[frozen agate]

i am a python developer yes

[frozen agate]

yes

[noble mountain]

Well you are a good teacher for sure

[frozen agate]

thank y ou

[noble mountain]

my real teacher is from USA

Maine

[frozen agate]

lets see how we can pick a random enemy from the first room, and prrint the messages about the monster. and then we will leave the rest for later

[noble mountain]

we use the random function we talked about

hmm what was it

randint?

randrange?

[frozen agate]

if we need a random number, we an use one of those

however we dont need a random number, we have all the enemies to choose from already

we just have to choose one of them randomly

[noble mountain]

right, but we dont need a number

[frozen agate]

not when using python

rooms are in order, so lets pick the first room

[noble mountain]

entrance hall

[frozen agate]

import random

from constants import DATA


def main():
    room = DATA['rooms'][0]
    print(room['name'])
    print(room['description'])


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

this is just a quick demo of how to get the first room

[noble mountain]

what does the last sentece do?

sentence

[frozen agate]

well... i got it from your code, do you not know what it does?

[noble mountain]

No, Ai

It dosent happend anything if I remove it tho

so idk

[frozen agate]

import random

from constants import DATA


room = DATA['rooms'][0]
print(room['name'])
print(room['description'])

so lets look at that part some other time

python runs code from top to bottom, so as long as we follow that rule, we are fine

[noble mountain]

yeah correct

[frozen agate]

sometimes we want to control exactly what lines of code we run, but now we just run everrything as it is written

[noble mountain]

there is one thing i hate with python, to choose room 1 you have to write 0. that is confusing

[frozen agate]

python is zero indexed

just remember that and you will be fine

it is confusing yes, but it makes math easier

[lone tiger]

yea

[frozen agate]

it is better to be confused for a short amount of time, compared to having to think when doing math every time

[noble mountain]

right

so now?

[frozen agate]

lets put enemies in the room

we have an enemies list in the room we can append monsters to

do you know how to append elements to a list?

[noble mountain]

add elements as a variable

[frozen agate]

well yes, but lists have their own append method, we can use this to just add what we want to the list

we just need the name of the list and its value

name_of_list.append(my_element)

it looks like this

[noble mountain]

ye

[frozen agate]

so lets look at the DATA and see what the name of our room[0] ememy list is

so we already have room defined from the code above

room = DATA['rooms'][0]

that means the name of the list for this room is room['enemies']

agree?

[noble mountain]

yr

ye

[frozen agate]

so how many enemies do we want to add to this room?

[noble mountain]

3

[frozen agate]

or what about, 1, 2 or 3?

[noble mountain]

0-3

[frozen agate]

nah. cant have 0 enemies, then we dont get weapons to fight the boss

[noble mountain]

take 2 enemies

cuz that what I have

that's

[frozen agate]

alright, to do things two times, what type of code do we need?

[noble mountain]

oh you said that earilier

it was something

like

idk

[frozen agate]

like a loop?

[noble mountain]

I forgot

no not to add things

loop does just repeat the game

or one thing

[frozen agate]

lets tackle that later instead.

we need to append two things

[noble mountain]

I do know what while loop is btw

[frozen agate]

we can use a for loop or just write the same line of code twice

[noble mountain]

you can use something like append.list

[frozen agate]

yes, but its mylist.append(...)

[noble mountain]

right..

my bad

[frozen agate]

we do want to choose one enemy randomly

DATA['enemies'] are all the enemies

we want to choose one of them at random

[noble mountain]

we use the random commando

[frozen agate]

yes, lets use random.choice

random.choice(DATA['enemies'])

this will choose one random enemy

[noble mountain]

ye

[frozen agate]

neat, is it not?

and we will append that enemy to our room list

[noble mountain]

it will choose one enemy yes

[frozen agate]

room['enemies'].append(random.choice(DATA['enemies']))

and we can run this twice for now

import random

from constants import DATA


room = DATA['rooms'][0]
print(room['name'])
print(room['description'])

room['enemies'].append(random.choice(DATA['enemies']))
room['enemies'].append(random.choice(DATA['enemies']))

print(room['enemies'])

lets end it there

[noble mountain]

my class is done btw..

no worries

my irl class if you wondering

not your class

your class is god

good

[frozen agate]

i see, but i think its enough for now, we can continue later

[noble mountain]

tomorrow

?

[frozen agate]

tomorrow evening yes

[noble mountain]

great

see you and thanks for everything

have a good day

[frozen agate]

and we will add behviours we need, select monsters, attack, defend, run away

[noble mountain]

👍

[frozen agate]

these behaviours will be almost identical to the ones you have already made

at least so far as i remember them

[noble mountain]

yes

[frozen agate]

but they will use the DATA instead

[noble mountain]

well, goodbye eivl!

And thanks again

[lone tiger]

Good Bye

[noble mountain]

Goodbye

[frozen agate]

later!
