Lmao Looool

#

these are allowing me to output the properly capitalized thing, but my list has all lower case entries that it checks inputs against for match .. currently, it loops if you input 'Human' where 'human' is expected

#

sorry .. i know im saying all of this wrong

!d str.casefold

tardy chasmBOT May 19, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

str.casefold


str.casefold()```
Return a casefolded copy of the string. Casefolded strings may be used for caseless matching.

Casefolding is similar to lowercasing but more aggressive because it is intended to remove all case distinctions in a string. For example, the German lowercase letter `'ß'` is equivalent to `"ss"`. Since it is already lowercase, [`lower()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.lower) would do nothing to `'ß'`; [`casefold()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.casefold) converts it to `"ss"`.

The casefolding algorithm is [described in section 3.13 ‘Default Case Folding’ of the Unicode Standard](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch03.pdf).

Added in version 3.3.

sidetrack: are these links safe https://paste.pythondiscord.com/MWDQ

im pretty new to discord usage in general haha

#

how do i make sure these links are safe?

warm grotto May 19, 2024, 2:37 AM

The pythondiscord pastebin links?

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:

i see

#

i've opened into some scary looking ones

warm grotto May 19, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

You can ask in #python-discussion maybe

#

Oh it's just a pastebin

#

some people paste some ratchet stuff though

#

As long as you don't download it and run it you're fine

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

velvet prairie these are allowing me to output the properly capitalized thing, but my list has ...

maybe you can try converting the user input to either casefold as suggested or lower case before checking against the strings in your 'races' list?

#

apologies for the side track

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

just back, reading

#

how can i end a running program in vscode?

#

its wrongly looped somehow and wont let me out lol

#

nm i got it

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

#

getting into hard to parse territory for me :P

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

where are you getting the inf loop?

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

All that I require from you is a yes or no answer.

#

that print

#

i have to ctrl+c to interrupt it

#

its calling out line 102 and 34 but idk why

#

it only breaks if i input something other than yes_ or no_answers

#

sorry that was probably helpful 5min ago

#

like when it asks "will you allow fate ... ?" if you answer "hippo" it infiniteloops that print

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

add a 'break' below print('All that I require from you is a yes or no answer.')

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

but then it moves on

#

i do want it to loop back to the FATE question

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

my bad, try 'continue' instead of break

#

i probably gotta run ur code

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 3:39 AM

#

that still loops

#

i, michael, swear on everything holy, that my code is pure and true

#

lmao

#

i wouldnt be able to send you spicy code if i tried rn

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

think i got it

#

hahahah no worries i looked at your code there's nothing wrong

#

i mean

#

in terms of... bad code

#

i got the solution i think

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/5HQA

#

i moved the sex_test input into the while True loop in the fate_sex function

#

the else loop for "all i require..." is moved one indent to the left, in line with "if sex_test in answers" (line 17), just in case u didn't notice

#

@velvet prairie lmk it works for u

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 4:06 AM

#

it did

#

there was another bug

#

i got it

#

it all works now

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 4:22 AM

#

👍

velvet prairie May 19, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

added traits functionality .. i feel like its the woirst way to do it and there is some way you woulda done it in 3 lines :P https://paste.pythondiscord.com/TZEQ

barren pasture May 19, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

you could do something along the lines of

#

get the index of the effective_race using races.index(), then pass in that index into pt and bt

#

and then return trait1 and 2

#

this is with assumption your order of elements in races is always consistent with the order in pt and bt

#

!e

races = [ 'dwarvan', 'elvan', 'gnoman', 'goblan',
          'halvan', 'human', 'northman', 'orcan']

pt = ['a beard', 'pointed ears', 'a bald head', 'greenish skin', 'hairy feet', 'an unremarkable appearance', 'blonde hair', 'lower tusks']
bt = ['stonewise', 'swift of though & action', 'a tinker', 'cunning', 'silent', 'talented', 'quick to rage', 'intimidating']

effective_race = 'elvan'
effective_race_idx = races.index(effective_race)

trait1, trait2 = pt[effective_race_idx], bt[effective_race_idx]

print(trait1, ", ", trait2)

not working as is

not sure what i did wrong

oh i got it

since i used capitalize

i had to capitalize the races

ok so the next question i have is a doozy

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JWPA

#

right now, both recessive traits are displayed

#

i would like it so that each recessive trait has a 25% chance of occurring

#

i had this coded in another thing, but it looks totally different now, and i dont know how to go about thinking about how to do it

#

like i want to do a if statement in the middle of the format displays, but idk if i can or how

#

there is probably a better way
