i want it to replace a good duck with a bad duck everytime you hook a good duck. Basically the ratio of good duck to bad duck starts at 1 bad to 9 good ducks, and goes down to 2 bad, 8 good, 3 bad, 7 good etc..(after each good duck is hooked) I need the code to be basic because I'm just starting to learn Python. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/NF7Q

i want it to replace a good duck with a bad duck everytime you hook a good duck....

can anyone help?

There are a couple of ways that you could go about this
serene flower
oooooo
gilded spoke
have you learned about lists yet?
serene flower
i know a tini bit

I would create list of the numbers 1 through 10. Then for each bad duck in that specific round, remove a random index from this list
serene flower
can you please right me an example?
gilded spoke
safe = []
bad_ducks = []
bad_ducks_count = 3
for num in range(1, 11):
safe.append(num)
for time in range(bad_ducks):
ind = random.randint(0, len(safe))
removed = safe.pop(ind)
bad_ducks.append(removed)
duck = 2
if duck in bad_ducks:
print('you lost!')
else:
print('you won!')
After the first for loop, safe would look like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

```py
safe = []
bad_ducks = []
bad_ducks_count = 3
for num in range(1, 11):

so could i put that code in then adapt it to the rest of my code?
gilded spoke
yea, but I'd recommend trying to learn what each part of this does
then each iteration of the second loop, it picks a random element of this safe list and removes it from the safe list
serene flower
k, what does the removed =8 safe.pop(ind)
bad_ducks.append(removed) do?
serene flower

so could you find a safe duck and just keep choosing it?
gilded spoke
k, what does the *removed =8* *safe.pop(ind)*
*bad_ducks.append(removed)* do...
pop is a list method that removes an index from a list and returns it
!e
x = [1, 2, 3]
removed = x.pop(1) # Removes 1st index (2) from x. Returns it
print(removed)
print(x)

no. The safe and bad ducks change each round
serene flower
🙂
gilded spoke
append is a list method that adds a new element to the end of a list
!e
x = []
x.append(1)
print(x)

were in my script would this go?
gilded spoke
Instead of trying to copy and paste the entire thing into the code, it'd be best to try to see what each thing does
then insert it accordingly
import time
#duck game
from random import randint
print ("hook a duck")
feeling_brave = True
score = 0
#the main loop
while feeling_brave:
bad_duck = randint(1, 10)
time.sleep(1)
print ("make sure you pick the right one")
time.sleep(1)
print ("which duck do you choose?")
duck = input('1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10')
duck_num = int(duck)
if duck_num == bad_duck:
time.sleep(3)
print("bad duck!")
time.sleep(1)
print("you lost!")
time.sleep(1)
print("Game over!")
print('you scored', score)
time.sleep(10)
feeling_brave = false
else:
time.sleep(3)
print("safe duck")
time.sleep(1)
print("you ready hook a duck stick")
score = score + 1
time.sleep(2)
programs are usually able to be separated into setup, computation, and result steps
your current setup is primarily just the bad_duck = randint(1, 10)
that's what you're using to find out what the bad_ducks are
part of my code is to determine what the bad_ducks are
serene flower
alr, i have changed my code to that, i will test it now 🙂
gilded spoke
mind I see what you've changed?
serene flower
!e import time
from random import randint
Initial setup for the duck game
print("Hook a duck")
feeling_brave = True
score = 0
Main game loop
while feeling_brave:
bad_duck = randint(1, num_ducks) # Randomly assign a "bomb duck" within the range of ducks
time.sleep(1)
print("Make sure you pick the right one!")
time.sleep(1)
print("Which duck do you choose?")
duck = input('1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10')
duck_num = int(duck)
# Check if the chosen duck is a bomb duck
if duck_num == bad_duck:
time.sleep(3)
print("Bad duck!")
time.sleep(1)
print("You lost!")
time.sleep(1)
print("Game over!")
print(f'You scored: {score}')
time.sleep(10)
feeling_brave = False # End the game
else:
# Player chose a safe duck
time.sleep(3)
print("Safe duck!")
score += 1 # Increase score
time.sleep(2)
print(f"Your score is now {score}. Get ready for the next round!")

it comes out with an error 😦
gilded spoke
one of the biggest skills in programming is reading the error messages as they give insight as to what went wrong
serene flower
was it this that whent wrong? NameError: name 'num_ducks' is not defined
serene flower
line 12
gilded spoke
That error means that you're trying to use a variable that hasn't been given a value yet
the num_ducks variable
that I used in my code as an example
serene flower
yup
gilded spoke
I just realized that the only thing you changed was putting 'num_ducks' in the place of 10 in the randint
serene flower
i mean i also changed the time.sleep()
gilded spoke
That wouldn't change anything when it comes to the output
since that just makes the program wait
I don't think you can do this without lists
serene flower
could you teach me lists?

what is the command for testing code?
gilded spoke
wdym?
serene flower
on the discord
gilded spoke
it's !e
when pasting code, please paste it like this
```py
# Code here
```
so it looks like this
# Code here
so something like this
!e
print('hello world')
!e py !e mylist = ['apple', 'milk', 'cheese', 'icecream',] mylist[1] = 'cake' print(mylist)

those are backticks, not quotes

I'd recommend getting familiar with lists
before continuing
search up a python list tutorial and follow what they do in that video or site
then do some playign around on your own
serene flower
ok tysm
serene flower
then do some playign around on your own
!e```py
mylist = ['good', 'good','good','good','good','good','good','good','good','good']
mylist[score] = 'bad'
i have made this
were would i put this in my code?
