🔒 Stats

[glad wasp]

So, I recently started learning python and I’m trying to give player stats on my code but I’m not to sure how to do it is there anything that could make you have a limit to the stats you choose? I currently have:

A character class, being able to choose your name and print that says “you have 5 stat points” aswell as three stat options (attack, defence and health) that need a number to be chosen but there needs a limit so if they choose 2, 2, 1 it makes five or if they did all 2s it would tell them they can’t do that because 5 is the limit

My code is:

print(f”STATS”)

print(f”You have 5 STAT points”)

attack = input(“Choose attack STATS”)

It’s the same for the other two stats aswell

Does this make sense?

add all the stats together
if the number is above 5 then its not valid

or you could just do 5 inputs and each one can only add 1 stat

How would I make it do that? Should I use def and the if, elif and else?

[round plaza]

make a function and call it something like add_stats
that function takes 1 argument which is the amount of stat points to add
inside the function you have a loop that runs until there are 0 stat points left
inside the loop you get the player input

the player could just enter the skill they would like to enhance

turn your variables into integers so you can add them

attack = int( input("Choose attack STATS") )
defense = int( input("Choose defense STATS") )
agility = int( input("Choose agility STATS") )

if ...
