[strange shale]

are you familiar with randomness in python?

[wispy island]

Yes

Like random module???

[strange shale]

yes

but do you know the functions it has?

choice, sample, random, randint, etc

[wispy island]

Yes

[strange shale]

Ok, so there's a few ways you can do this

[wispy island]

Tell the simplest

Like can i tell how i did it but ig it is not convinent

[strange shale]

well, your percentages only add up to 90%, so what's the last 10 percent?

[wispy island]

You can say like 9% for thrice and 1% for ten times

[strange shale]

!e

import random

chances = []
chances.extend(['lose'] * 60)
chances.extend(['return'] * 10)
chances.extend(['double'] * 20)
chances.extend(['triple'] * 9)
chances.extend(['ten times'] * 1)

print(chances)

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

['lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'lose', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'return', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'double', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'triple', 'ten times']

[strange shale]

ok, so you can do something like this to populate a list of all available options

and if you use random.choice, the percentages are higher for options that appear more

the other way to do this is using weights

[wispy island]

What does like 'lose' * 60 does it mean add lose 60 times to a list???

[hollow lark]

After this will you use
If chances=="lose"
Print("lose")
Something like this?

[strange shale]

yes exactly

[strange shale]

yes

[wispy island]

Ohh thanks i didnt even knew about it

[strange shale]

!e

import random

chances = ['lose', 'return', 'double', 'triple', 'ten times']
chance_weights = [60, 10, 20, 9, 1]
print(random.choices(chances, weights=chance_weights, k=1))

[tacit osprey]

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

['double']

[strange shale]

the other option is using a weights list

[hollow lark]

I learnt something new from you guys!!

Random module

[wispy island]

Ig first method is easy for me

Thanks alot

[wispy island]

But listen i am going to make it like you can play untill you want to quit by typing 'q' so repeating that again and again will extend the list every time or list get resets each time when the loop starts again??
||@strange shale ||

[strange shale]

don't include the list creation as part of the loop

[wispy island]

Ok got it

Thanks bye
