🔒 Maze reading ASCII text file to UNICODE but I don't know how to add the corners properly.

[autumn fiber]

The code used : https://paste.pythondiscord.com/R3XA

So i remade the code and now its getting very close to the output I just don't have corners in the right place so how do I fix that?

It looks like a font/terminal issue. This is what it gives for me

[autumn fiber]

wha how do i fix that xD

And also how do i make the intersections into corners? or do i have to recode everything completely if thats the case

[merry hollow]

Well, a simple character translation like what you have now won't cut it
You were very close with your old code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/POTA, your biggest issue was the ors on line 20 needed to be ands

[autumn fiber]

ah-

Well i had the previous code just in case, wanted to see if a simple version worked or not

Ok i swear is this a terminal issue

You get that I get this

I ran the same code xD with and now

If all this time it was just cause of a terminal issue i wasted multiple days cause of it xD

[merry hollow]

strange, make sure the font you're using is monospace

[autumn fiber]

whats monospace?

[merry hollow]

do you have any idea what that yb thing at the top is? (I don't)

[merry hollow]

monospace basicallly means that all the characters in the font are the same width, so stuff like ascii boxes align nicely

Here are som good monospace fonts https://www.programmingfonts.org/

nerdfonts too, but those are just fonts but with added icons https://www.nerdfonts.com/#home

[autumn fiber]

i dont either

[autumn fiber]

so i should be using these fonts?

[merry hollow]

any of those fonts
you're on windows right? they should have monospace fonts builtin

My first thought is maybe your terminal is interpreting color commands as actual characters? do you have any fancy console skinning installed?

[autumn fiber]

hm i dont know how to make that work- acutally wait let me check something

[autumn fiber]

Ima be honest this is the first time im using VS code all this time I have been using the pythonIDLE

[merry hollow]

good ol IDLE

Oh are you launching your file by the launch button in vscode?

[autumn fiber]

I just downloaded the first things for python from VS code and started to run it

[autumn fiber]

yea F5

[merry hollow]

Try opening up the terminal and running your script from there

I dont remember if the python run button launches a terminal or a dedicated view

[autumn fiber]

ok then thats what i was thinking of doing wait

I swear if this work my days of suffering finally ends xD Then i can actually start doing documenting and verson control for all of this

i cant belive this

AHHH

i wasted 2 extra days

cause i thought it was wrong

Also one more thing how do i fix the VScode to do the same cause your using it too i see

I need to make repositories and such so i have to show all this in a git environment later on

[merry hollow]

I think my machine just has different default fonts because it's linux lol

But if you've installed a monospace font you can set it in the settings, it should be in the frequents page

or you can look up Font Family

[autumn fiber]

wait can i just install monospace on my windows through terminal

let me check

i dont have it

at this point this just became tec support im sorry qwq

[merry hollow]

well monospace itself should be directed to builtin fonts on the target os

Try adding "Cascadia Mono" to the front of the list of font families

[autumn fiber]

its part of the windows terminal

i didnt uninstall

cause i cant

my terminal dosnt work

but i used a VM terminal it works

i used good ol python IDLE it works

but my own terminal dosnt why xD

[autumn fiber]

wait wha

i changed the text file

cause i wanted to see what it would do to a new random generated text file maze
