hanged man

[Gavinosborn]

Hi

only been coding for about three days, so please forgive the code. could you copy and paste the below and please explain why i am going mad.

if you guess correct rabbit, works fine.
if you guess wrong letters works fine.

if you guess mixture of wrong and right letters. def_guess function returns none instead of a letter sometimes?

Sorry, didn’t realise it doesn’t paste indents:/

Basically, the below code returns None instead of a valid letter?

def get_guess():
guess=" "
answer=" "
screen = turtle.Screen()
answer = screen.textinput("Welcome to hangman!", "PLease enter your letter?")
answer = answer.upper()
len_answer = len(answer)
if (answer not in valid_char or len(answer) != 1) or answer in (all_letters):
get_guess()
else:
return answer

Thank you, sorry very new to all this.

Try this:

def get_guess():
    while True:
        screen = turtle.Screen()
        answer = screen.textinput("Welcome to hangman!", "Please enter your letter?")
        answer = answer.upper()
        if len(answer) == 1 and answer[0] in valid_char:
            return answer

At the end of your code you need to add a line

turtle.bye()
